Can Tennessee Lady Volunteers Outmaneuver Kentucky Wildcats at Bon Secours?

The Lady Volunteers have had an interesting season so far, with their performance showing some remarkable trends. Despite not having a field goal percentage from last season's data, they've managed to maintain an impressive free throw and true shooting percentage at one hundred percent. This level of accuracy from the line could be a critical factor in close-game situations.


Their game average stats paint a picture of a team that is aggressive on both ends of the floor. Averaging over seventy-four points per game indicates that they have no trouble finding the basket, while nearly fifteen assists per game show that they play unselfishly, spreading the ball around to find the best shot possible.

On defense, their average of over eighteen personal fouls per game suggests that they play with physicality. However, this aggression comes with its benefits – averaging three and a half blocks and seven and a half steals per game shows that they can disrupt their opponents' offense effectively.


Rebounding has been another strong suit for Tennessee with an average of nearly thirty-eight rebounds per game; controlling the boards will be crucial against Kentucky. However, ball security might be an area for improvement as they've averaged fifteen turnovers per game – something they'll need to tighten up in this matchup.

The venue could play into Tennessee's hands as well; playing at home in Greenville provides them not only with familiar surroundings but also support from local fans which can often prove invaluable during tight games.


Fans eager to catch this exciting matchup should mark their calendars for March 7th at 2:30 PM ET. The action will unfold live on SEC Network from Bon Secours Wellness Arena in Greenville, SC – don't miss it!
