Tennessee expected to sit Jordan Bowden on Saturday
Tennessee Volunteers freshman guard Jordan Bowden (illness) is not expected to play on Saturday versus the South Carolina Gamecocks, per an ESPN report.
What It Means:
Bowden has already missed one game with what the team is calling a slight case of pneumonia. His absence comes at a bad time as the Vols are fighting for their NCAA Tournament lives on Saturday versus South Carolina. A loss would drop them to 15-14 and likely out of the field of 68.
numberFire's models currently give Tennessee a 9.3 percent chance of getting a ticket to the dance. Bowden is averaging 8.1 points, 2.9 rebounds, and 1.1 assists per game this season.
