Going on a 19-game winning-streak is an impressive feat for any team to accomplish. And in the Vol’s case, they aren’t skating by teams. They are winning games soundly and dominating their competition.

On their streak, 16 of Tennessee’s wins have been by double-digits. Can they add another double-digit win Wednesday? The Vols enter as 15-point favorites over the Gamecocks.

Can South Carolina Play Spoiler?

It’s not quite March just yet, but anything can happen in the world of college basketball. Can we see some February madness Wednesday and see college basketball’s top dog?

It’s tough to say they can fend off the Vols’, but anything can happen. The Gamecocks are a well-coached team by Frank Martin and seemingly play up to their competition most times. However, this next task might be the toughest they’ve seen. The No.1 team in country on their home court.

Grant Attack

The Vols’ have been led this season by the play of forward Grant Williams. The reigning SEC player of the year, Williams has put himself in great position to earn the honor once again.

On the season, Williams is averaging 19.9 points per game while grabbing 7.3 boards. And the junior is in good form, averaging 18.6 points over the last five games.

Game Info

Tip-off between the Vols’ and Gamecocks is set for 6:30 p.m. from Thompson-Boling Arena in Knoxville on SEC Network.
