Three keys against Ole Miss

[zjcvols]

1. Guard play. Only had eleven turnovers, one in the second half. If Golden and McRae play well, Tennessee should win.

2. Tennessee has to rebound, and rebound well. Ole Miss is the best rebounding team in the SEC, and UT had a +15 advantage on the boards. That is unlikely to happen, but they still need to have that advantage.

3. Ole Miss zoned us almost all game. We shot 5-17 from three. If we can get that number to 40%, it will be a blowout. UT has to kick and drive.

I want to see how we play it. Are we going to rebound and walk it up to allow them to set up the zone? Or are we going to make them pay of they crash the boards? Do we run the shot clock? Do we get it down low early in the clock?
If you make mistakes early, make them while making aggressive plays. Ole miss is confident right now and will try to punch us early.

If you remember against Arkansas, Coach Martin expected zone and completely shocked the Razorbacks by pushing the tempo.

I think we need to do that tomorrow.

Hit FT's; keep bigs out of foul trouble

 

[MoB_MoVols]

bully them in the paint with our strength..

And Stokes with another double double would be nice

Kendrick is out for the tourney. Pulled a Ramar...

 

[GatorsGators]

Kendrick got into a scuffle with Reginald Buckner in the tunnel after their loss to Mississippi State. That's not what got him into trouble, but that guy is a chemistry issue.

[olesmokey081764]

Play our game, not theirs.

 

[Neyland Law Vol]

Nervous. This is going to be a tough one.

 

[kiddiedoc]

I'm looking forward to this SECT more that any in a while. Should be a good game, but I like our chances.

 

[BigOrangeFanatic]

Maymon and Stokes need to dominate inside. But the key to our success has always been Golden. If he plays well and limits the turnovers as he's been doing we will be a hard out in this tournament.

My gut tells me we lose this game now that the pressure is on.

That's ok, keep picking against UT

This.
If Maymon or Stokes spend much time on the bench we're cooked.

we do, and we go to the nit.

Tough draw to open the tourney. Seems like they always wind up with a tough path to Sunday every year. Guards need to play well, take care of the ball and hit those open shots. I'd feed it to Maymon and Stokes and let Golden drive the lane. They do that well, they'll win.

4.) Tennessee MUST outscore Ole Miss.

I love it. 3 keys to making a good list.

1. List your numbers.
2. Speak the obvious.
3. Keep it short.

Biggest key to the game is rebounds. If Ole Miss doesn't have all those 2nd chance points, they are setting in an Auburn like situation. Stokes and Maymon is a lot better than anything they put in the post. Maymon is A LOT quicker than anyone that's going to be guarding him tonight and should have a field day. I'm looking for one of our guards to have a big day because I can see a lot of kick backs when we feed the post.
