00:00Let's get to the University of Tennessee, the 850th win of Rick Barnes' career.
00:05He's had a stellar one both at Texas and as the head coach of the Volunteers.
00:10What do you make of their win yesterday?
00:12And certainly do you see Tennessee as a title contender?
00:15The Gators just beat them, I believe it was, a couple of weeks ago.
00:18Big win last night.
00:19Yeah, I don't know about national championship because they're very thin at the guard position beyond Jacoby Gillespie.
00:25That's why you see Nate Amant play as much above the circle as you do.
00:31But Gillespie's fantastic and Amant's a great talent.
00:34And they have a phenomenal frontcourt that has such great depth.
00:38Opara is a great defensive player.
00:42JP Estrella has been really good at both ends.
00:45So it's a team that certainly can contend for the SEC title.
00:49And I would not be at all surprised to see them take a run at the Final Four.
00:52But I think when you get to that level, you probably need a little bit more of an option in the backcourt beyond what Gillespie provides.
01:00He's certainly going to give you enough from his position.
01:03But they just don't have that second, third guard that everybody else that wins it does.
01:08I do like this team.
01:09And I think they certainly have great potential to do well in March.
01:13And I think they're going to have great potential to do well in March.
