The Volunteers are a problem for any team that encounters them in the NCAA Tournament. After being upset by Mississippi State in the SEC Tournament, the Vols will be out for blood and that includes key backcourt players Dalton Knecht, Zakai Zeigler, and Josiah-Jordan James.

Knecht is averaging an astonishing 21.1 points per game. Zeigler is producing 5.8 assists and 1.8 steals when he takes the court.

With James on the court, the trio has combined for 41.4 points, more than half the team’s average. The trio has helped lead Tennessee to its two-seed in the tournament and No. 6 national ranking.
