Message: [QUOTE="UConnCat, post: 4160350, member: 15"] In looking at Tennessee's and South Carolina's stats, it's pretty remarkable how similar they are. I say remarkable because I consider the talent disparity significant. SC has played a tougher non-conference schedule, though Tennessee did play Texas and Stanford. Tenn averages 71.69 ppg and SC is at 72.1 ppg. Both teams give up 54 ppg. Both teams are very strong on the boards, with Tenn having the edge across all rebounding categories. Both teams have more turnovers than assists and shoot FTs at 61% and 65%. Neither team is a great shooting team overall, but at least for SC the team's most efficient scorer (Boston) has attempted the most shots. Cooke, shooting poorly so far this season, is a close second in FGAs. For Tenn, Horston, it's most inefficient scorer, leads the team in FGAs despite missing 3 games. She shoots 36% overall and 19% on three-pointers. Horston is a tremendous rebounder. Needless to say, both teams are very strong defensively and on the boards. Should be quite the slugfest in February. [/QUOTE]
