Tennessee season

Highest combined score in the SEC this season? Florida has a good offense but their defense is at the bottom of the SEC. Both teams like to play fast. I wouldn't be surprised if Tennessee wins with a NBA score like 110-95.

UConn's loss to them now looks worse in retrospect. Yuck.

The TN team that played UConn and the TN team that have showed up lately look completely different. They were locked in on a mission to beat UConn, but these past few games they’ve just looked like they’re ready to get the season over with. Beating UConn was big for them; I think it’s gone to their heads a bit.
 
All due respect here @stwainfan you can't just run and hide when things take a turn for the worst given all the excessive hype you publish when the team has a modicum of success.

So, what is the current issue with this team and can they sort it out to get going for the SECT and the big dance?

Pretty much. The griping about the foul disparity is humorous. But Tennessee plays an in your face full court press, Vandy does not. (on edit - Tennessee also jacked up 29 3-pointers while Vandy drove to the basket a lot or dumped the ball into the post)...Great win for Vandy and Shea. First time Vandy has beaten Tennessee twice in the same season. Vandy sure is on the rise! There is also talk on their board about chemistry issues. No one seems to have anything concrete, but lots of chatter and speculation.

I think Tennessee ends up a 5 seed and doesn't host the first weekend. The 5-12 game is tricky as they will likely get a good mid-major but we will see what happens.

The foul complaints are kind of crazy from TENN people when you look at how they play. Lots of player changes for high energy defense is going to result in lots of fouls. If you look at their box scores throughout the season they frequently have more fouls called even in their victories.

Refs just want some breathers. Call a foul on the team that’s making you run
 
I think that Tennessee just doesn’t have the athletes right now, period. They are over reliant on 3 point shooting, but don’t have real 3 point shooters. If they aren’t turning teams over to get a lot of extra possessions, that doesn’t leave them with a lot of options. It seems a bit disconcerting that Coach Caldwell hasn’t adjusted at all during the season. She has only blamed the team during press conferences. I‘m not surprised that the team seems a bit checked out at times.

FWIW, one of the most successful teams I can recall at the press/trap was Rutgers in the mid 2000’s. However, they also had a half court offense that was decent and a solid group of players, not to mention a hall of fame coach. They got to the final four a couple of times, but never won it all. Tennessee seems a long way from that kind of success.

I agree. This style of play is more of a fit. With the incoming class will make a difference. Tennessee will have the best backcourt in the country.

Why do Vols say things like that?

It’s an excellent recruiting class. It’s full of talented quad 1 prospects. It could end up producing one of the best back courts in
The country.. who knows? It could end up producing the best backcourt!

But Vols have to almost guarantee failure by saying “Tennessee WILL have THE best back court in the country.
Oh well. Vol gonna Vol

It’s always wait until next year for the Vols. The twin guards coming in are the best! Their coach is the best. Why don’t other coaches run this system if it’s so great?? They had a list of possible players entering the portal who would def be coming to Tennessee including 2 star players from South Carolina. Vols are gonna vol.
