Saturday night, No. 9 Arizona will host No. 6 Tennessee in the first non-conference Top 10 showdown in McKale Center for the first time since the 2014-15 season with the Wildcats beat No. 9 Gonzaga 66-63 in overtime.
Ahead of the Wildcats' game against Tennessee, we reached out to radio host of 99.1 THE Sports Animal and VolReport.com contributor Tyler Ivens to talk about the upcoming game as Ivens answers question you need to know about the Volunteers.
What has made Tennessee such as defensive monster this season?
Rick Barnes has made defense the top priority since taking over the program in 2015. Zakai Zeigler has been the player that has taken that part of the game and elevated it to the next level. The sophomore prides himself on being the tone setter and thus far he’s accomplished that goal holding opposing shooters to under 25% from the field.
