GoVols247's Wes Rucker (at the Fort Rucker Studio) and Grant Ramey (at GoVols247's Blount County Headquarters in Maryville) go in studio to break down what's going to be a huge week for Tennessee basketball at the Battle 4 Atlantis in Nassau, Bahamas. The Vols open Battle 4 Atlantis against 18th-ranked Purdue at 12:30 p.m. Eastern on Wednesday. From there, the Vols will play either No. 3 Villanova or Western Kentucky on Thanksgiving Day and then one of four teams — including potentially No. 2 Arizona — on Friday. The top three teams in Ken Pomeroy's rankings are all in the Bahamas for arguably the best field of any Thanksgiving week tournament in the country, which means Rick Barnes and his Vols have a heck of an opportunity. Will they take advantage of it, though?
