[QUOTE="AE 87, post: 487237, member: 195"] I watched a good bit of their gave vs. LALa. Now, I don't claim to have the expertise that others here have shown, so take my observations fwiw. Tenn doesn't seem to miss when their shots are uncontested. They ran some ball screens, but not all that complicated. LALa was just slow getting on D, and UT made them pay for it. UT was also really able to rely on their jump shots for much of the game. They rebounded well and posted up some, but that wasn't a big part of their game early on. They did have a big guy who started trying to attack the rim more in the second half it seemed, but even that was mostly with his face to the basket, iirc. Both teams were really pushing a fast pace. On D, UT guarded the perimeter fairly well but seemed to me to be susceptible to the fast-cuts to the basket the few times that LALa tried it, especially in the first half. LALa's guards made several almost uncontested drives to the rim for easy layups. UT seemed to tighten their D a bit once they got the lead in the second half, but it didn't look that great to me. So, I think a lot will depend on how well we defend the perimeter and how well we shoot. If we defend the 3 as poorly as in previous years, I agree that it could be a big loss, but I think that we should play better D than LALa, and if we can hit 3's of our own, we might hang in and put some pressure on them.
