Bruce Pearl is one of my favorite coaches in college basketball. He has done a great job at Tennessee since his arrival. The Vols have started the season 4-0, and are scoring 92.3 points per game while only allowing 55.5 points per game. With their first test coming tonight against #6 ranked Purdue, I believe the Vols are ready to show the nation what they are about. Pearl knows that the field is wide-open this year, and Tennessee is poised to make a run at the Final Four. Tennessee's post season success is not exactly the best with no Final Four appearances and a 13-18 tournament record. With the return of senior forward Tyler Smith and super sophomore Scotty Hopson, who has already scored 25 points twice this season, the talent is there for Bruce Pearl. Their defense has to stay active, and their offense has to keep running. I believe the Vols have the horses to make it deep into the tournament, and quiet all the doubters.
