TDD: Virginia
I hope everyone had a nice holiday. Here’s to a promising and profitable 2014 for you and your loved ones. Going into Monday night’s game against the Vols, Virginia boasted one of the nation’s top defenses, allowing just over 54 points per game. Apparently, nobody bothered to tell Josh Richardson and Tennessee. Richardson poured in…

TDD: Morehead State
On the eve of Christmas Eve, following a two-game losing streak, Tennessee bounced back and rode strong performances from Josh Richardson and Derek Reese to a 82-67 victory over Morehead State. A win is a win, yes, but Tennessee could have and likely should have won this game by 20 points or more as The…

TDD: Wichita State
Tennessee traveled to Kansas Saturday to take on the No. 12 ranked Wichita State Shockers in a game that had a tournament feel. And, in true tournament style, the tougher team won the game as Wichita State gutted out the 70-61 win. A Tougher Breed, indeed. THE BAD Tennessee’s Shooting The three most efficient shots…

The Daily Dribble: Advanced Statistics Glossary
Let me start this off by saying this: I enjoy the information that advanced statistics provide, but I’m not here to indulge the belaboring of their usage. Beyond now, I won’t laud their merits nor will I condemn those who do not appreciate or care for their applications. I will reference them in my posts,…

The Daily Dribble. Tennessee Tech
This past Saturday Tennessee returned home to face the Golden Eagles of Tennessee Tech for its first game since the trip to the Bahamas. The Vols traded sunny and 70 for the cold and dreary rain of Tennessee winter. Early in the game, TTU displayed some hot shooting despite the chilly climate. Tech hit 15-27…

Kentucky GIVE HIM SIX
Since this was the last game of the year, I wanted to start off this week’s GIVE HIM SIX with a couple shout-outs. The overall tone of this blog has maybe been a little negative, but today, we’re staying positive. Like, just be cool, man. The first one has to go collectively to the all…

GIVE HIM SIX! – VANDERBILT EDITION
Disgusting. I said following the Auburn game that if Tennessee lost to Vanderbilt for the second year in a row, it would be disgusting. Well, it was. It was every bit as horrible as I imagined, if not a little worse. I’m gonna spare you guys the preamble this week, and I’m reserving comment on…

GIVE…HIM…SIX – Auburn Edition
Tennessee (4-6, 1-5) returned home Saturday to face the (somewhat) surprising Auburn Tigers (9-1, 5-1). However despite playing in the friendly confines of Neyland Stadium, it was the Vols, not the Tigers, left licking their wounds after a 55-23 trouncing. Despite a somewhat inauspicious start — just six points, and one turnover in the first…
