The Volunteers have been showcasing a robust performance in recent games, and this upcoming match is an opportunity to continue their momentum.
Analyzing past performances, Tennessee's strengths are evident in their solid defense and ability to capitalize on turnovers.

Their defensive prowess was highlighted by six blocks and an impressive assists-to-turnover ratio of 1.63.
The Volunteers also demonstrated resilience and offensive firepower in an away game at Frost Bank Center against North Carolina State's Wolfpack, where they emerged victorious with 79 points despite a closely contested first half.

In another home game versus Georgia Southern Eagles, Tennessee put up a strong front once again with 74 points scored and an even more formidable defense that resulted in seven blocks and twelve steals. They were relentless in transition as well, scoring 17 fast-break points.
