right now Alabama is probably the most complete team.
I'd probably say balanced more than complete. That said, they just lost one starter (Bruner) for 4-6 weeks and Herb Jones is day-to-day with a hand injury. If you look at the advanced stats Bruner was their most efficient player (similar to Days for LSU). And Jones is a tremendous defender. It will be interesting to see how and if they can adapt to those loses.
Kenpom has Tennessee as a top 10 team. They are a tremendous defensive team which is why they are 9-1. BUT, if you want to see a potential chink in the armor look at their games vs. Alabama (their only loss) and Arkansas (5 point win that was a 1 point game with 20 seconds to play). Both Alabama and Arkansas like to play fast and are good offensive teams. Tennessee wants to suffocate you in a half-court slugfest. So it may not be a coincidence that the two teams that made them get out and run a bit had success against them.
LSU doesn't play quite as fast as Alabama and Arkansas, but they are just fine making it a fast paced, full court game. The early returns say if you are a good offensive team who will get out and run then you can matchup well with Tennessee.

One thing that worries me about Tennessee is the way we've guarded the 3 point line in the past and how Vescovi can heat up from back there.
By no means am I saying the whole match up hinges on stopping him or that he's the key player. But he can get hot from 3 and do damage.

Will the announcers award him another purple heart like last year when he played " one handed " against LSU?
Why the hell does he keep having hand injuries?
