Has anyone taken the time to come up with this number?

And where are the lovely ladies of Savannah State posted? Never mind. I just searched the school home page. Let's just say "well fed" and leave it at that......

I lived less than 2 miles away from Savannah St for 5 years. Let's just say the other colleges in Savannah are better for female purposes

I'm glad Yankee made this one. Gotta get back on our winning streak.

Yes, I am superstitious.

How do the Vols beat the Zone we all know is coming our way?

Tell Skylar, Trae, and Cam to b more aggressive shooting from outside...I don't think Skylar shoots it enough when we play against a zone. Also, tell Jordan to NOT shoot it from outside! He and Trae need to penetrate off the dribble. We need to pass the ball faster around the perimeter. We tend to make a pass and sit there for 5 seconds holding the ball, looking around. If you pass it around the perimeter faster, then lanes open up, as well as open looks from outside.

I think we had 34 3 point attempts against the last zone we faced, our outside shooters are plenty aggressive on shooting 3's. IMO

I'd like to see that our guards have figured out how to swing the ball and use angles and drives in order to get the ball inside even if it is a zone. That's our strength is inside and no matter what defense they are playing our big men need their touches.

The wrong guys are shooting the 3s. If its not one of the 3 that I mentioned then don't shoot it. I agree that we need to swing the ball around the perimeter to create lanes and angles. You can still get the ball to the post against a zone, but you can't when you make a pass every 5 seconds around the perimeter. We will see if we have learned how to run an offense against a zone, because I expect to see it tonight.

The 3 you mentioned took 29 of the 34 team 3's. That's more than too many...
