Tennessee caught a break with FDU beating Purdue in the first round. To make the Great Eight all they have to do is get by Florida Atlantic U. Florida Atlantic struggled to beat FDU and their 350th-ranked defense. They now face the number 1 defense in the nation in Tennessee. The Volunteers have been playing well without their point guard and should be able to get by FAU without him. This will be FAU's toughest game this season. They like to shoot the three-ball but Tennessee has the best three-point defense in the country. Tennessee will have a distinct height advantage in this game which should lead to second-chance points. FAU is 2-13 in its last 15 games against SEC opponents, while Tennessee is 9-3 in its last 12 March games.
