Tennessee tumbles to No. 18 in latest AP Poll

Well that wasn’t a fun week of basketball.

Tennessee started the week ranked No. 6 in the AP Poll. After two losses, they now check in at No. 18. The Volunteers were blown out by Florida, and then fell to Missouri in Knoxville on Saturday night. Tennessee was without five-star freshman Jaden Springer in both contests, for what it’s worth.

The Vols will take on Mississippi State and No. 15 Kansas this week.

Gonzaga, Baylor and Villanova held on to the top three spots, while Iowa fell to No. 7. Creighton also took a hit, falling to 17th in the poll. Alabama, in their second week in the poll, climbed all the way up to No. 9 as they continue their tear through the SEC.
