Vols-Horns 8pm Saturday on CBS / scouting the Horns

[VolsAgainstTheWorld15]

A talented team that was scared to score points in their previous game and many games during the year. If the vols score more than 50, it's a win

51 ain’t gonna be enough. Texas is top 30 in offensive efficiency. Odds are they are going to be significantly better offensively tomorrow than they were yesterday.

Aidoo has to out play Disu in order for Tennessee to win tomorrow night.

 

[VolCalls]

They're 39th on KenPom for adjusted defense, we're 3rd.
They're 27th on KenPom for adjusted offense, we're 28th.

I know. Texas is very physical. They will play us like Mississippi State did and Brock Cunningham will probably get called for a flagrant foul at some point. I hope we’re ready this time.

No need to be an a$$. I didn’t see the flurry of Cunningham flagrant foul prediction posts.

This matchup may be more difficult for us than expected, particularly for us offensively.

Texas limits 3PT attempts very well, ranking 35th in the country, making shots from 3 pretty difficult for opposing teams.

Texas could make this game ugly for us on the offensive end to get us rattled, somewhat similar to what Mississippi State was able to do to us in the SEC tournament.

Similar to the game plan against Saint Peters, pounding the ball inside to Aidoo and/or Awaka will hopefully overwhelm them and get Disu and/or Mitchell in foul trouble, given they're only 6'8 and 6'9.
Adversely, they may try to follow the same game plan with Disu and/or Mitchell to get our bigs in foul trouble.

Our offense will struggle if Aidoo is in foul trouble and ZZ, Vescovi, JJJ are not able to make shots efficiently, especially from 3.

Our effort and energy on defense will have to show up and force turnovers to bolster our offense.
They were 1-14 from 3PT in the Colorado State game, so hopefully we can continue that trend with strong perimeter defense.

This is a game that is winnable for sure if we bring the focus and intensity on both ends of the floor that we saw against Saint Peters.

Didn’t think we would struggle that much offensively but a win is a win! Effort & energy on defense came through!

Vols are Sweet 16 bound!!
