Before I start I just want to say a few things about the Texas Tech game. IT SUCKED. We played about as poorly as possible and sometimes it's just a perfect storm.
1. Texas Tech does a GREAT job of keeping you out of the paint. I counted numerous times they had 4-5 guys with two feet in the paint when Chandler, Vescovi and ZZ were trying to get to the rim.
2. The new NBA Wilson ball was used in the Jimmy V Classic and well.... https://r.search.yahoo.com/_ylt=A2KIbNM4bbRh6zwAdS9XNyoA;_ylu=Y29sbwNiZjEEcG9zAzMEdnRpZANEMTA0NV8xBHNlYwNzcg--/RV=2/RE=1639243193/RO=10/RU=https://nba.nbcsports.com/2021/11/03/nba-players-struggling-to-adapt-to-new-wilson-basketball//RK=2/RS=lOht_A.nifAw3kMChgcYP_z7UXE-
3. It is what it is. The Memphis game looks more and more likely as a W and ANY neutral court win is a positive. Arizona will be no cakewalk but playing them at home, I like our chances. Now to UNC Greensboro.

They'll play a 7 man rotation with 8 possibly. This is a game I'd love to get BHH some more run. Anything in live action will help him. All numbers from KenPom as usual.
I'm not going to waste time telling you the line up of a team that's really ran by three guys.
De'monte Buckingham is their leader and the guy that plays the most. He's a Senior that plays the 3 and can really score and rebound the ball. He's the main guy to watch in this one as he will likely have VBjr and Powell on him.
Dante Treacy is the PG that runs the show and has nice eye for getting guys good looks. He's listed at 6' so Chandler should have a nice matchup in this one.
Kaleb Hunter is their SG and he REALLY likes to let the 3 ball fly. Whoever is guarding him should just run him off the line at all times. He doesn't shoot a high percentage but he lets around 5 threes a game fly. No need to let him get hot tomorrow.

There's no reason this shouldn't be a game where we just come out and dominate. After last performance our guys should be chomping at the bit to be ready to really play well. I expect us to bully them in every phase of the game. This shouldn't and IMO won't be close. Rick will have the guys ready to go.

Prediction: Vols 77 UNCG 44

I have a feeling this game is going to be a lot closer than your prediction. UNCG is a pretty good team , 7-2 with 2 3 point losses. They have been in a lot of close games and have beaten some very good mid-majors. They are coming off an NCAA tourney last season and are averaging Over 20 wins per season the past 5 seasons. Vols better be ready….

Well, Wes Miller is no longer there. And their best win is against Vermont at home. I’m not sure they’ve beaten anybody that’s considered very good. They lost to two very average mid majors. But other than the Vermont game they’ve not really played anybody that’s considered very good. Their offense shouldn’t be able to do much it our defense shows up.
