Tennessee is down to one point guard.

The Vols got word that freshman Daniel West has been ruled ineligible by the NCAA and won't play this season.

That means with the injury to back-up point guard J.P. Prince, the only player capable of running the team is junior college transfer Bobby Maze.

Maze is talented, but enigmatic. Remember, this is the same guy who was basically kicked out of Oklahoma.

The other issue is that with the up-tempo pace that Bruce Peal plays, it'll be interesting to see how many minutes Maze can actually go without a breather.
