Message: [QUOTE="Rb335, post: 5185771, member: 2685"] I won’t be surprised if this is a close game. This Tennessee team has a tendency to play to the level of their competition, in both a good and bad way. They’ve played 3 of the current top 10 teams and lost by single digits each time. But they’ve also had close games against a team like Missouri. They’ve lost 5 games by a total of 15 points. Nobody has blown them out all year. I think Uconn is more disciplined and works the ball to get better shots more consistently. Tennessee has an athleticism advantage and should win the boards. Can UConn take care of the ball enough that their superior shooting % prevails? That’s the key to me. It’s also worth noting that Tennessee routinely steps on the gas and can flip a game in the late stages. Even having a 20 point lead after 30 minutes isn’t always safe. They tend to claw their way back with scramble defense and the transition 3 ball. [/QUOTE]
