GoVols247's Wes Rucker and the Knoxville News Sentinel’s Mike Wilson (pinch-hitting for Grant Ramey) went into Fort Rucker Studio to break down all things Tennessee basketball heading into the start of SEC play this weekend. Tennessee will begin its conference-title-defense tour with a Saturday home game against Georgia, and there are several interesting topics to discuss heading into SEC play. Is this Tennessee team as good as it looks, or are there potential problems lurking in the weeds? When will Lamonte Turner return? If Turner doesn’t return soon, do Rick Barnes and his staff need to tweak the rotation and lengthen the bench to avoid over-burdening some of the team’s stars? Is this team’s defense really as problematic as Rick Barnes suggests, considering it’s ranked top-30 nationally in adjusted defensive efficiency? What potential potholes sit on this team’s title-defense path? What would be a great, good or acceptable mark in SEC play? Does SEC really even matter, as long as this team is peaking at the right time heading into the postseason? Also, why does Mike Wilson have a Midwestern American accent despite being a Kiwi who was born in New Zealand, spent the first four years of his life in New Zealand and then three elementary-school years in Japan? Those and several other topics are discussed in details in this episode.Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
