Vols Earn No. 3 Seed in NCAA Tournament, will Face Longwood

Hours after capturing the SEC Tournament Championship, Tennessee learned its NCAA Tournament draw Sunday.

The Volunteers (26-7) earned a No. 3 seed for the second time in program history (also in 2018) and will travel to Indianapolis, Indiana.

Tennessee's first-round opponent in South Region action is 14th-seed Longwood on Thursday at 2:45 p.m. ET on CBS. Two days later, the winner of that game will then face the winner of the first-round matchup between six-seed Colorado State and 11-seed Michigan.

Tennessee has played four NCAA Tournament games in Indianapolis, going 1-1 in 1982, 0-1 in 2014 and 0-1 in last year's tournament.

Pac 12 Champion Arizona is the No. 1 seed in the South Region.
