Tennessee 2025 season

Tennessee is just a very hard watch. I watched half the game last night, and it was just lots of cardio from both sides. If Stanford had a reliable 3pt shooter they could have probably won. Once a team gets over the shock of the high press and adjusts, the lack of organization is exposed.

I think Vanderbilt could beat this Tennessee team. I look forward to the SEC conference play.

Vandy beat them last year. Twice I think.
 
I kind of view their system like the triple option in football and why it's very popular at Division III and II levels but not at Division I level. It's a system that is easy to implement, takes advantage of the lack of athleticism from other programs, and requires great discipline/conditioning/teamwork to beat. That works at the lower levels but as soon you move to the top of Division I, then those flaws are less present in other teams since many of the kids that go to Division I schools are more athletic and more motivated to make a career out of basketball.

I will say this, that she is taking this experiment to it's most extreme at the highest level of women's basketball, so we'll all find out if it works, but I have my doubts no matter her record at non Power 4 universities.

Even more, how Coach does the starting lineup, basing it on performance. A new lineup every game. I have never heard of a coach doing not even in the rec league.
 
Yes this is a different style. The next game is on the 14th. So some time to rest and work on the things needed.

Let’s see the list of items to work on:
They have more turnovers than assists, significantly more fouls than the other team, poor 2 pt shooting and even worse 3pt shooting. Too much one on on offensive play, minimal passing and if they don’t score in transition, they are stagnant in thé half court. But yeah, these few days should remedy those ills….

It's about learning and getting better. Caldwell said we didn't these lessons last year until SEC play. We are learning them now. That's why we play this schedule. Tennessee still forces more turnovers than it gives up. Forcing 30 turnovers last game. A big reason for the win. Not all players develop at the same pace. I think Mia Pauldo so far has been the best freshman. I do see Prawl is getting better.

Mia Pauldo a career high today 18 points and 10 assists.

Two thoughts-
1. Vols looked exhausted/checked out in the fourth quarter.
2. I don’t care how many athletes you have, if they can’t play together, it will be ugly. I don’t want to call out individual players, but the chemistry looks to be a hot mess.
