If there's any team in America that can produce a 10 point run out of nowhere, it's Tennessee. Down five with 1 quarter to go isn't the best, but it's not as if this game is out of reach. Strap in and let's see what they do out there.

We are a high volume mistake team. They come in bunches. Rushed offense leads to turnovers and rushed defense that leads to easy baskets. I hope it’s just the pieces are missing.

It’s crucial to mention though we don’t yet have the players to fully execute the style.

Darby, Puckett, and Hollingshed do not fit this system. Decent players but you can’t judge the style of play based on this year

Darby has been perfectly fine in the backcourt trap. Puckett and Hollingshead play safety, so how good they are in the backcourt isn't relevant.

The players that we do play in the backcourt trap are perfectly proficient at it to run it full-time.

When we don't backcourt trap, we get the downside of the full court press (easy shots) without the upside (turnovers and steals)

Our offense scores at such a high rate, it's just being wasted on half-assing our defensiv system.

If we trapped they'd be getting easy lay ups instead of at least having to hit jump shots and 3s. So our legs would be worn out and we'd still be getting scored on.

But I agree, our collective ability to stay in front ain't great.

Morrrow's back, that's not helpful.

Turnovers, free throws, and failure to guard Gilbert will be our demise if we lose this one.
