Reflecting on their recent performance, it's clear that Tennessee has been on an upward trajectory. Despite a narrow loss to South Carolina Gamecocks on March 9th, where they fell short by just one point with a final score of 73-74, the team showed remarkable resilience. They dominated the third and fourth quarters scoring 25 points each but couldn't clinch victory. This game highlighted their tenacity and ability to fight back which will be crucial against Green Bay.


In another impressive display of skill and determination, Tennessee outplayed Alabama Crimson Tide on March 8th with an emphatic win of 83-61. Their offensive prowess was evident as they shot at a commendable field goal percentage of 51 percent while maintaining a solid defense that limited Alabama's scoring opportunities.


The Lady Volunteers' home game against Kentucky Wildcats on March 7th further showcased their dominance both offensively and defensively. With an eight-block performance contributing to a strong defensive stand and securing a comfortable win with a scoreline of 76-62, it's evident that when Tennessee hits its stride, they can be unstoppable.


The key for Tennessee will be consistency; maintaining high shooting percentages from both two-point (46 percent) and three-point range (35 percent), as seen in past games is vital. Moreover, capitalizing on turnovers which previously led them to score an impressive total of 18 points off turnovers against South Carolina will play an integral role in overcoming Green Bay Phoenix.


Green Bay cannot be underestimated though; any lapse in concentration could prove costly for Tennessee. The Phoenix come into this matchup determined to make their mark and disrupt the rhythm that TENN has been building over recent games.


Looking ahead at what promises to be an electrifying contest between these two teams, fans should expect nothing less than full-throttle intensity from tip-off until the final buzzer sounds.


Mark your calendars for March 23rd when these two teams face off at noon Eastern Time at Reynolds Coliseum in Raleigh. For those unable to attend in person, you can catch all the action live on ESPN – this is one encounter you won't want to miss!
