The Volunteers have been on a roll lately with a series of impressive performances. In their last three games, they've shown remarkable consistency and depth. Against Missouri Tigers, they secured a close victory with 72 points and demonstrated defensive prowess by accumulating six blocks and nine steals. Their shooting from inside the paint was strong with 32 points contributing significantly to their win.


Their dominance was even more evident when they hosted Vanderbilt Commodores at Thompson-Boling Arena. The Volunteers put up an astounding 88 points while limiting the Commodores to just 53 points. Their offensive efficiency was on full display as they shot 48 percent from the field and an impressive 45 percent from beyond the arc.

Continuing this trend, in their visit to Bud Walton Arena against Arkansas Razorbacks, Tennessee showcased its scoring ability by racking up 92 points while maintaining high shooting percentages across the board – including an exceptional free throw percentage of nearly perfect accuracy.


The key for Tennessee will be replicating this high-octane offense while continuing their aggressive defense that has served them well in recent outings. With such balanced scoring and disciplined play, it's clear that Tennessee is looking strong as they head into this challenging away game.
