Analyzing past performances, the Volunteers have demonstrated a solid defense coupled with an aggressive offense. In their last game against Tarleton State, they secured a comfortable win with 65 points while holding their opponents to 46. Their defensive prowess was evident as they racked up six blocks and limited Tarleton State's field goal percentage to just 30 percent. Offensively, they managed a three-point percentage of 32 percent and were particularly effective from the free-throw line with a commendable 77 percent accuracy.


Another notable victory came against North Carolina State where Tennessee tallied an impressive 79 points. Their offensive strategy was well-rounded; they excelled beyond the arc with a three-point shooting percentage of 44 percent and maintained an overall field goal percentage of 44 percent as well. This balanced attack was complemented by an assist-turnover ratio of 2.0, indicating smart ball-handling and teamwork.

The game against Georgia Southern further highlighted Tennessee's ability to dominate on both ends of the court. They put up strong numbers in points off turnovers (17) and second-chance points (11), which were crucial in securing their win at home.


As we look ahead, it's clear that maintaining these trends will be key for Tennessee when facing Missouri Tigers on their home turf. The Volunteers' ability to convert from free throws could play a significant role given its consistency in recent games.
