The Vols should be atop the polls when they visit the State Farm Center next weekend
That was ESPN's Joe Tessitore's call of Tyler Griffey's buzzer-beating layup to lift unranked Illinois over top-ranked Indiana 74-72 at the State Farm Center on Feb. 7, 2013 – the Illini's last win against a national No. 1.
Current No. 1 Kansas lost at Creighton on Wednesday. No. 2 Auburn lost at Duke on Wednesday. No. 3 Tennessee blew the doors off Syracuse 96-70 on Tuesday to get to 8-0 and won't play again until after the next AP Top 25 has been settled. Time for the Volunteers to take a turn in the top spot? It certainly seems so.
The Vols are a dynamite team led by Zakai Zeigler, one of the best pure point guards in the country, and scorer Chaz Lanier, one of the great finds out of the transfer portal.
