I have to give so much credit to the Tennessee Volunteers.

How many times to see this happen. Top 16 team is playing amazing and looks like they could have a deep run in the NCAA Tournament. Then, one of their star players gets hurt and the season falls apart.

Zakai Zeigler was the Volunteers second leading scorer when he tore is ACL against Arkansas. They then lost at Auburn, they beat Mississippi in the SEC Tournament only to lose to Missouri in the quarterfinals. They then struggle but hang on for a three point victory against Louisiana. Despite being the 4 seed playing a 5 seed, Vegas had them as a 3.5 point underdog figuring the injury would finally finish off Tennessee.

Well, Olivier Nkamhoua went 10-13 from the field to lead the Vols with 27 points, the entire team played stifling defense, and Tennessee is advancing to the Sweet 16 with a 65-52 victory over ACC Tournament Champion Duke. And lets not forget their Sweet 16 opponent will be the winner of Florida Atlantic and FDU.
