In their last game against LSU Tigers, the Volunteers displayed a robust defense with 4 blocks and 8 steals, contributing to a significant win with a score of 77-56. Their offensive efforts were equally impressive, shooting approximately 45 percent from the field and an outstanding 88 percent from the free-throw line. The team's ability to capitalize on turnovers was evident as they scored 33 points off turnovers.


The previous game saw them secure another victory over Mississippi State Bulldogs with a score of 70-59. Their defensive prowess was on full display once again as they racked up an impressive total of 9 blocks. Offensively, they maintained consistency with a field goal percentage of around 45 percent and excelled at free throws with over 90 percent accuracy.


However, it's worth noting that in an earlier game against Kentucky Wildcats at home, the Volunteers fell short by seven points (56-63). Despite this loss, Tennessee showed strength in paint scoring with 36 points and had a higher two-point field goal percentage (around 56 percent) compared to Kentucky.


The trends suggest that Tennessee has been relying on its solid defense and efficient scoring inside the paint while also taking advantage of turnovers. As they face Georgia Bulldogs next, maintaining these strengths will be crucial for securing another win at home.


Fans can catch all the action live from Thompson-Boling Arena in Knoxville on January 26th through SEC Network broadcasts or attend in person for what promises to be an exciting game filled with strategic plays and high energy from both teams.
