Vols vs Florida Atlantic? Thoughts?

Stop their 3 point shooting and Vols win

 

[VOLtaism]

I didn't see anyone on either team face-guard a 3-point shot. UT should do well if they can avoid long-scoring droughts.

BVS alert!

Yes, definitely BVS—I’m used to disappointment under Barnes. Terrible matchup for us too. This is a poor man’s Mizzou.

 

[Boston Vol]

They’re not good defensively. If they don’t have one of those nights magical March nights from behind the arc, Tennessee should be fine.

And foul trouble.

Maybe a homeless man’s Mizzou. Who doesFAU have that remotely compares to Kobe Brown?

They’re not good defensively, 350th in KenPom. If they don’t have one of those nights magical
March nights from behind the arc, Tennessee should be fine.

You sure about that 350th, Chief?

 

[VolsSince78]

Uros starts the game like the Cocaine Bear, and it’s Vols by 90!
And then we have to pause for the under 16:00 minute media timeout!

 

[Boston Vol]

Lol no

We’re playing Florida Atlantic. They are 37th in KenPom defensive efficiency (#22 overall). FDU is 350th….

Yes I had a brain freeze for a minute

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

Lol no

I hope it’s true.

Edit: Darn!!!

 

[Boston Vol]

I hope it’s true.

It’s not, I was thinking FDU

 

[EZE]

Not particularly well tonight. Would need to shoot a much higher percentage against us to win and they will be shooting over way taller defenders than FDU.

We need to make it a half court game by being smart with the ball on offense. We have a tremendous rebounding advantage. Look to the post every possession and only shoot 3’s on inside out passes. We’re the more talented and experienced team and will have to shoot very poorly to lose this game IMO. Every team left is good, but from what I’ve seen we’re playing 1 of the weaker teams left. Obviously no guarantees but I for one sure like our chances! Go VOLS!

When a team only loses 3 games in a season, it can play.

Vols will have to show up and play well (but don’t have to be great) to win.

The Jekyl and Hyde nature of our offense should keep us all grounded. We will have to score some points to win.

Go to the walk-in clinic in the morning and ask if they have something they can prescribe for the BVS.

Been there. They got nothing. Incurable.

Offensive rebounds and put backs could be huge.

No one. But they ARE 33 spots higher than Mizzou overall on KenPom.

Worse than Herpes.

 

[AllThingsTN]

It’s the sweet 16. Everyone is good. But I’m not upset about this draw.

 

[white65]

Our length is really gonna bother them. They play a 4 guard line up, the tallest of which is 6-4

They have one that that is 7-1 and another that is 6-8.

We should be able to defend them well.

 

[volfanhill]

Ole Miss beat em 13

Not really a relevant point

 

[knoxvol52]

Looks like spread is Tennessee 5.5 point gavorite

 

[JRVOL11]

i think we try to go inside on them early

 

[walkenvol]

Not really a relevant point

Why not? Everyone wants to talk about them having won 30 games as being relevant? They lost to Old Miss, UAB, and MTSU. Would we likely lose to those? Some of the teams they played I have never heard of before.

Surprised it’s that close
