GAME PREVIEW: ALABAMA

Tennessee looks to snap Alabama's three-game win streak in the series while also starting a home winning streak of its own Saturday.
Tennessee currently ranks seventh nationally in average home attendance (16,686).
UT head coach Cuonzo Martin and his staff will wear "Suits and Sneakers" Saturday as part of the NABC's Coaches vs. Cancer weekend.
A cancer survivor, Martin had his professional playing career cut short due to a bout with Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma. He received his last treatment April 20, 1998, and is now in full remission.
