The Volunteers have been on a winning streak, showcasing a strong offense and defense in recent games. In their last encounter against the Eagles, they dominated with 74 points and a remarkable 55 percent two-point shooting accuracy. Their defensive prowess was evident with seven blocks and 12 steals contributing to a significant number of points off turnovers.


Their victory over the Fighting Illini was another testament to their balanced attack. Scoring 86 points with an assist-to-turnover ratio of over two indicates efficient ball movement and decision-making on the court. The team also maintained a steady free throw percentage around 76 percent, which could be crucial in close game situations.


Against the Patriots, Tennessee's scoring was consistent across both halves, ending with an impressive total of 87 points. Their field goal percentage neared 50 percent while maintaining solid three-point shooting at approximately 35 percent. The Volunteers' ability to spread out assists (27 in total) highlighted their teamwork and offensive cohesion.


Playing away from home at Frost Bank Center may present new challenges for Tennessee; however, they have shown resilience and adaptability throughout the season. With strong rebounding numbers from past games indicating control over both ends of the court, it will be interesting to see how this translates into performance on neutral ground.


Fans can catch all the action live on ESPN2 or attend in person at Frost Bank Center in San Antonio on December 17th as these two formidable teams clash on the basketball court.
