Tennessee is 6-15 all-time against No. 1-ranked teams, including a 2-1 record under head coach Rick Barnes<\/a><\/strong>. The Vols beat No. 1 Gonzaga 76-73 in December 2018 in the Jerry Colangelo Classic in Phoenix and beat No. 1 Alabama 68-59 in Knoxville in February 2023. The Vols lost to No. 1 Kansas 69-60 last season in the Maui Invitational.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Tennessee earlier this season set a new program record with five straight weeks ranked No. 1, from December 10 to January 13, while tying a program record for the best start to as season at 14-0.<\/p>\n

Tennessee is 6-6 over its last 12 games against AP No. 1 teams, dating back to March 1966, and is 4-4 over its last eight, dating back to February 2008.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Tennessee has beat the No. 1-ranked team on the road twice in program history. An unranked Tennessee team beat No. 1 South Carolina 55-54 in December 1969 and Bruce Pearl led a No. 2-ranked Tennessee team to a 66-62 win at No. 1 Memphis in February 2008.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Saturday night\u2019s game is just the fifth in Tennessee program history with both teams ranked in the top six, with all five top-six matchups taking place on the road. It\u2019s the fourth time it has happened under Barnes. <\/p>\n

The Vols have been ranked for a program-record 71 straight weeks and have been the lower-ranked team just 13 times in 116 games during that span, with an 8-5 record to show for it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
