Bracket projection: Tennessee

When coach Rick Barnes took over the Tennessee Volunteers in the spring of 2015, the program was buried in turmoil and seeking a steady hand to guide it. Less than three years later, Barnes has rebuilt the program and steered the Vols to their first SEC regular-season crown since 2008, as well as a run to the SEC tournament title game, where they lost a heartbreaker to Kentucky. Do the Vols have enough firepower to reach the first Final Four in program history?

ESPN Insider has your answers, as Joe Lunardi has enlisted a team of bracketologists to compile advanced metrics, key scouting intel and best- and worst-case tournament scenarios for all 68 teams to help you make smart picks in your bracket.
