Tennessee Volunteers Dominate at Thompson-Boling Arena Against Georgia Bulldogs
The Tennessee Volunteers, ranked fourth, showcased their dominance on the court with a resounding victory over the Georgia Bulldogs. The final score read 70-41 in favor of the Volunteers, who now hold an impressive record against their opponents.
At Thompson-Boling Arena, the home crowd witnessed a commanding performance by the Tennessee Volunteers. The team's offensive efforts were highlighted by sinking 26 field goals out of 62 attempts, resulting in a solid 42 percent shooting rate. Their prowess from beyond the arc was also notable as they made six three-pointers from 21 attempts. Inside the paint, they were particularly effective with 36 points contributing significantly to their total score.
Defensively, Tennessee was just as imposing. They managed to block three shots and came away with an impressive total of 12 steals throughout the game. This defensive pressure led to numerous opportunities for scoring off turnovers, with Tennessee capitalizing for a total of 25 points from these situations.
The Volunteers' teamwork shone through in their distribution of the ball; they tallied up an impressive count of 19 assists which speaks volumes about their collaborative play style. Furthermore, they maintained control over possession effectively as evidenced by committing only nine turnovers during play.
On top of that, rebounding was another area where Tennessee excelled; pulling down a total of 43 rebounds – ten offensively and thirty-two defensively – gave them additional possessions and limited second-chance points for Georgia.
In contrast to this dominant display by Tennessee, Georgia struggled to find its rhythm throughout the game. The Bulldogs made only sixteen field goals on fifty-five attempts which translates into a lowly shooting percentage of approximately twenty-nine percent overall. From behind three-point line things didn't improve much either; they converted just four out twenty-two attempted threes into points.
