Clash at Value City Arena: Tennessee Lady Volunteers Take on Ohio State Buckeyes in Women's Basketball
As the Tennessee Lady Volunteers prepare to face off against the Ohio State Buckeyes at Value City Arena, fans are anticipating a thrilling encounter in women's basketball. The venue, known for its vibrant atmosphere, could play a significant role in energizing both teams.
The Lady Volunteers are looking to build upon their performance from the previous season. With an average of 71 points per game and a field goal percentage of 41, they have shown that they can be effective on offense. However, their three-point shooting was less impressive at 23 percent last season, indicating room for improvement from beyond the arc.
On defense, the team averaged 15 personal fouls and managed to secure an average of 43 rebounds per game – a testament to their tenacity on the boards. Additionally, with an average of five steals and two blocks per game, they've demonstrated an ability to disrupt opponents' plays.
Turnovers were a concern though; averaging over 15 per game suggests that maintaining possession will be crucial against Ohio State. The free throw percentage stood at 66 percent last season which is another area where improvement could prove beneficial especially in close-game situations.
The Lady Volunteers will need to capitalize on their strengths while addressing these areas if they hope to come out victorious in Columbus. Fans can expect them to focus on tightening up their defense and making every possession count as they aim for success away from home.
