Santiago Vescovi - Will play but not start Vescovi (illness) will play but not start during No. 2 Tennessee's Elite Eight game Sunday against No. 1 Purdue, according to Jon Burton of NewsChannel 5. Impact Vescovi reportedly told Burton after Tennessee's practice Saturday that he was feeling better after being out ill Friday. While the senior may not have improved enough to be ready to start Sunday, it could just be a case of the Volunteers wanting to continue rolling with Jahmai Mashack in their starting backcourt. Still, Vescovi's availability will provide some defense, depth and experience to a Vols side that will need all of them to conquer an excellent Purdue team.
