Tennessee Is On A Roll...

I don't think it's arguable. They are a Top 25 team. Deservedly so.

for argument sake, why do you feel that way? Did you see my post on the teams they have scheduled this year? at to that they play 7 of their 1st nine games at home. Their schedule strength is now rated 196th. They beat a bad Notre Dame team who is also decimated by injuries to two key players. Texas (#91) is only the second team with a rating under 100 on their schedule thus far-they are poorly coached but have talent and the game is at Tennessee. This game will not show us much. In 3 games they play at Stanford, again with it at Stanford and Stanford as strong as they come, it may not show us much. January 5th against Kentucky will be the first real even match of a game to justify a top 25 ranking. I just hope the voters don't keep falling the lame victories as a reason to move them up.

Maybe I got my wires crossed. I thought I was referring to the program KJH left before moving to Tennessee, Missouri St. I think they've clearly played like a top 25 team this year. I haven't seen Tennessee or paid much attention to them.

To be honest, in the one game I saw (against ND),and the box score of a few others, irregardless of the cupcake issues, it seemed to me their assists were up and TO's were under control. (Shooting especially from 3 looked pretty much the same) If some one (I am too lazy) wants to look at this objectively, it would be interesting to see how some of these specific metrics compare to last year (same cupcake issues) which would indicate better coaching etc.

Every time I read this thread title, I think - are they on a cinnamon roll or egg roll or any of a number of others?

Is not @triaddukefan hungry?

Tennessee's size and athleticism is going to make them a tough match-up for UConn! Their offense is pretty simple, they take the first good look they get and then crash the boards hoping for an easy putback. This concerns me considering UConn's inability to match their size and physicality.
