Tennessee will be back on the court in Knoxville this Tuesday evening as the Vols host South Carolina inside the Food City Center.
The Gamecocks, one of the conference’s more positively surprising teams this season, will enter the game with a 17-3 overall record with three straight wins. Tennessee, on the other hand, will look to defend their home court with a 15-4 overall record and an undefeated stretch at home this season.
Prior to the game on Tuesday, Tennessee veteran guard Santiago Vescovi and assistant coach Rod Clark met with the media in Knoxville on Monday. Vescovi spoke about several topics including his updated role on the team, setting the program record for starts, when he knew Dalton Knecht’s scoring ability, and even dished on the platinum hairstyle from years back.
Clark, meanwhile, spoke about what makes this South Carolina team better than last year’s squad, the one-on-one battles from Jahmai Mashack and Dalton Knecht during the season, and much more.
No. 5 Tennessee (15-4, 5-1 SEC) will host South Carolina (17-3, 5-2 SEC) this Saturday evening at 6:30 p.m. ET in Knoxville.
