But if you're not strong with the ball, they'll turn you over and run you out of the gym. They harassed the Columbians into 21 turnovers. Tennessee is in an SEC that has only two formidable offenses, LSU and Arkansas, to challenge their defense. Their perpetual nemesis, Kentucky, is a dumpster fire. Good season to be a Volunteer.

(The other was the recent Texas Tech National Championship Game team). Tennessee is number 1 nationally in scoring defense. They are number 3 nationally in adjusted defensive efficiency. (They allow 0.87 points per possession) And their defense generates offense too. They have the length, strength, and lateral quickness to switch defensively. They have depth. They are like an attacking football defense. They’re good, as are the other mentioned teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cowboy Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 1 hour ago, courtside said: Tennessee is in that top four team category right now with Gonzaga, Villanova, Baylor. -you might be right but I see Gonz in their own tier, not sure how many teams are in that next tier -the reason I don't at this moment put Baylor with Gonz is that Gonz has played and defeated 5 teams in KenPom top 100 while Baylor has one such game to date, in the Big 12 Baylor should have many more opportunities to shine than Gonz will in the WCC so they(Baylor), or others, might make it to that top tier but imo it will take some work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly I would agree that Gonzaga has looked the most impressive or complete thus far. Some teams will maintain and improve, some will struggle, some will get much better etc...

Of course I especially liked Air France (Pons) game last night. His D was awesome and watch out when he starts hitting 3's. I saw the Cincy game and thought the Vols did not get out on Cincy 3 balls a few times. Other than that the game was never really in doubt. Plus it was an early game as they missed two games with one being against Gonzaga. Would like to see them play in Tourney if there is one!
