Predictions for A&M today?

They started 4 guards and rotated in four others. They only scored 19 of 84 points in the paint. They destroyed Arkansas by making them pay for switching in the guards. They cut better than we do yesterday. Arkansas had plenty of size and skill advantage in the paint. It didn’t help.

Unless TN can be productive scoring in the paint with 2 bigs, they have 4 much taller players that can play as a rim protector. Might be a good team to zone, but being out rebounded by a hot shooting team would be a bad combination. Bailey and Mashack might be important for defense. JJJ and the other 3 point guards must stay out of foul trouble.

TN’s staff has the advantage of seeing what failed to work for FL, Barn, and Arkansas. Especially Arkansas. TN has the option of going big or small. aTm will be going small.

Here’s ATM shooting chart from yesterday. 0 points from the left side. Every ball reversal three went right, high right, or high. The paint points were 75% guard drives. There’s a lot to scout there.

TN 64 A&M 58 is my prediction. TN is one of the best defensive teams in the country and no one is talking about it.

A&M is playing amazing basketball and so are we. Game could go either way free throw line and three point shooting will decide it.

We have been pretty hot shooting wise so I think we may cool just a bit, but A&M put up some crazy performances and they are going to be very tired albeit excited to get themselves an auto bid.

I think this is a bit different from the one in Knoxville. I see A&M grabbing an early lead but then going on a dry spell and UT grabbing a close win.

UT-70
A&M-62

The only time we played them was at TBA and for the Vols it was not their typical game...90-80 win. I'm pretty sure we don't want them scoring 80 on our D. I think a 70-62 win sounds like a more typical UT kind of game.

If we lose today, there’s no coach or team that I’d rather lose to. Buzz is a hell of a coach, and A&M is a hell of a team.

Go Vols!

This was a very tight game in TBA earlier. Powell hit 2 big 3s to open a lead I believe

It will be a tough game. 63-59 Vols.

What's all this talk about Tn vs A&M? The Chatt TFP has KY playing A&M at 1 pm. They can't be wrong can they?
