Top 3 Things You Want To See Thursday Night At Tennessee. Game is at 6:30 p.m. on ESPN.

[Happydad745]

UConn aggressive on defense
50% or better from 3 pt. land
A win

1. Show very early that we can not only stay poised against their press, but beat it for enough easy baskets that they pull the plug on it.

2. Prove that we can press better than they do.

3. Match their second unit, and rest our starters enough that we have as much energy at the end as they do.

 

[BBallF]

1. Make the Vols pay for their undisciplined play
2. Limit the number turnovers
3. Don't get caught up in what UT does, play your own game

As for #1, when they played Iowa, Iowa missed several open layups after they broke the press that Sarah won't miss. Iowa also did not have the 3 point shooters we have. When they drop, it demoralizes a press.

Don't care too much if we win or not, I just want to see TN lose. Sooooo

1. TN lose
2. TN lose badly
3. TN embarrassed so badly they eliminate their basketball program

They are not capable of pulling the plug on the press. It's all they have. Even when you you out to a large lead, they will keep pressing.

You will get plenty of opportunity for layups. Make them

 

[RockyMTblue2]

1. Jana 10 pts 9 rebounds

2. Azzi 24 pts 5 rebounds

3. Paige 27 pts 7 rebounds

 

[HuskylnSC]

Aubrey be Aubrey
Paige be Paige
Jana be Big Momma

It should be noted that 4 of UT's 5 losses were to top 10 teams, and even then the five losses were by a TOTAL of 15 points. No one has blown them out. They will be tough at home; I will be happy with a win.

That's exactly why Iowa lost to them They didn't make their layups. Every miss turned into a fast beak for Tennessee.

3. Don't get caught up in what UT does, play your own game

love #3, impose your will and play on the other team. Make them adjust to your play. I can't do any better than @Cornell Lt: I just want to throw this out there, speed kills, use it.

 

[Topdawg]

1. They are a high volume team. Defense has to be aggressive to make shooting difficult and offensive rebounds are needed to limit the shots.
2. Ball and player movement is needed to create open shots For our shooters.
3. We need to pay attention to our ball handling to minimize turnovers.

In summary, limit their possessions and shoot at a high efficiency!

 

[JBK]

Rebounding —
Azzi play like an all American and top 5 pick by putting up 20 plus
KK getting 3 steals

 

[Basingstoke]

Besides wanting a win and no injuries...
1) The big 3 plus Kaitlyn coming up big
2) Aubrey taking a huge step forward and making a real difference in this game
3) Ice and Jana making positive contributions on defense & rebounding and scoring efficiently

 

[Stinger92860]

I want to see the team play well in a ”hostile” enviroment.
Kaitlyn has a good offensive game
Paige and Sarah go 1-2 in number of shots taken
Defense plays tough for 40 minutes
