Oakland lost 8 of its last 11 games and also 8 of last 12, but two of the wins in the last 12 were against Green Bay, and those are GB's only two losses since December. Basically, Oakland is an offensive oriented team with a defense rated in the 300s, and they shoot a lot of 3s and do so well, and they have a low TO margin. In all the other stats they're mediocre to bad.

GB also shoots a lot of 3s, but at 32.8%, which is better than the Vols but still ranks only 97th in the nation. Unlike Oakland, they are defense-oriented and don't have many TOs, so with GB vs. Oakland, the offensive team beat the defensive team.

What does that mean for the Vols vs. GB? Neither team shoots the 3s well, but GB will likely still be hoisting 20-25 of them. GB won't turn the ball over much and pass better than the Vols, and they get 9 steals a game, so ball handling is important against them. Like the Vols, the Phoenix will scrap for offensive rebounds pretty well, averaging 13 a game. Along with being more dominant on the boards, one area that Vols have a big advantage is on the FT line, making 248 more FTs than GB on 70.1% shooting versus GB's 64.8%. That could be a big factor late in a close game.

It looks like Green Bay's three-point shooting percentage is 10 points higher than ours, more or less. So the Vols will have to defend the perimeter.

Green Bay is not known for 3 point shooting they only shoot 32% . which goes well for us. The advantage we have is they have not seen the size and length that we have so there shot will be rushed and they only average, 66 points a game. which is good for and And Arizona state only average 65 points we will be fine in the bracket no one puts up points / Now the question is can we make shots. Coaches can call all the plays in the world but if our gaurds can't put ball in basket it means nothing

Has anyone watched Green Bay play? I don't think that I've ever seen them in anything other than a zone defense. Ever.

With 3-pters, it's not always the percentage that matters so much but rather how many a team makes per game. GB's percentage isn't great, but they are among the top teams in the nations in 3-pters per game, ranked 21st with 7.8 per game for more than 23 pp. The Vols meanwhile are ranked 310th at 3.7, so GB averages about 12 more ppg from the arc than Tennessee. That could be a big factor if the guards don't get out and challenge the perimeter shooters.

You are the only one I can see readily singing HW praises.

Aww to be different, unless you have coached, and develop a team to reach a championship and players, you'll never understand, there is no get rich quick scheme for developing a Championship team, its a process, its a daily, hourly, possession, practice, off season grind. wuteva?

So, I will sing her praises, and curse when she makes bone head moves, but as long as she is the helm of the Lady Vols, she has my support. wuteva?


I back Holly and roll with the Lady Vols!

I think we can win the first two games. I give us about 25% chance to elite 8, but I would put money on South Carolina losing before then.

Hope you put money on SC losing before the elite 8 like you predicted.
