I am disappointed they made 50% of their shots and 9 threes.  We held them under their average in points and threes made, as usual, but it will still too close for comfort. 

We got a lot of really bad turnovers - was it 3 five second violations on an inbound? That's not like us.  

They pressed us for 40 minutes and we did a halfway okay job of handling it - only 12 turnovers (9 outside of the three inbound violations).  Tenn's sub pattern is basically to sub in/out 5 players at a time to press like hell, sit for a bit, come back in, and press like hell. 

Rebounding was the difference - +15 on the boards, +9 in offensive rebounds.  Outside of Moore, the rest of our rotation only had 6 fouls. (10 total) 

4 players in double figures - Booker (26), Jones (21), Moore (11) and Lee (10).  Steady eddie Rori with 8 points, 8 assists, 4 boards.

Whitehorn and Spearman were really good for Tenn (21 and 14 points, respectively), but our interior game really shut down Hollingshead and our guards did a good job on Spear and Cooper.  Hollingshead in particular had a lot of trouble guarding Jones and got into foul trouble.

Tennesse is 10th now in the SEC and after the loss Thursday they will probably drop from being #17, but even so they feel wildly underrated. That’s a team I never want to see again this year.

They good.

Moore was a defensive liability that game - too many fouls.  I think the 4 guard lineup with Jak and Lee will present better defensive matchups with Tenn, especially closing out on shooters and running them off the 3 point line.

More Preston too, especially if they're going to press for 40 minutes.
