ESPN.com All-America teams - ESPN
ESPN predictions skew heavily towards two teams, Kansas and Kentucky that possess amazing talent.
Although we ended up losing to Ohio State when they had Oden, TN basketball under Pearl has traditionally done a good job when our big men go up against more highly regarded big men.
We have the opportunity against Purdue (probably in the early season Tournament), Kansas and Kentucky twice to see our big men play with a chip on their shoulder.
Based on last year, we need to be more concerned about a Jodie Meeks level guard. Thank God it looks like with all their strengths, UK looks more like Memphis with super athletes that are not great outside shooters. TN seems better on defense with everything but deadly three point guys. Christmas who was on like a light switch and Meeks destroyed us.
I am looking forward to seeing this team challenged as underdogs in the regular season...
