Which position group am I talking about and why am I saying the defense will maybe lead the way?

That and more coming up here on your Thursday, Locked on Balls.

You are Locked on Balls, your daily podcast on the Tennessee Volunteers.

Part of the Locked On Podcast Network, your team every day.

What is up, everybody? Welcome into it. This is Locked on Balls. And I'm your host, Eric Kane. So glad that you guys elected to hang out with me here today. It is Game Day Tennessee Basketball.
