Tennessee had to win some games at the end of the season and in the SEC tournament to make it in to the NCAA Tournament.

The Volunteers won six of their last seven matchups before losing to March Madness' overall No. 1 seed, Florida, in the conference semifinals.

Cuonzo Martin's squad is built on physical play and tough defense.

Though the Vols would probably rather not have to play their way into the Midwest Region, at least they have a chance to get things going in Dayton on Wednesday and start what could be a surprising run in the 2014 NCAA tournament.

This is what they would need to do.
