A little thing like a three-game suspension can't stop Tony Vitello or his Tennessee baseball team.

The Vols' lightning rod of a coach wasn't in the dugout for its sweep of Dayton, but while that slap on the wrist might point to Vitello being a marked man, it won't slow down his team's potential to reach the College World Series.

In a boost, highly touted transfer Maui Ahuna gained clearance to play this week. No. 3 Tennessee will host Gonzaga this weekend.

On today's episode, Blake Toppmeyer of the USA TODAY Network and the News Sentinel's John Adams discuss whether Vitello's program is a fun distraction or a legitimate candidate to produce Tennessee's next national championship.
