How does Tenn slow down Fla's bigs and guards

Florida will get their points. They just have too many weapons. The higher the overall score, the better our chances are. If UT wins, it'll be something like 85-82.

Slick Rick says, The Big Orange will probably have to score at least 80 to win this game. Tennessee MUST play defense like they have the past two games too pull the upset.

I think we have a chance to win this game. We have to play great defense and shoot the lights out. One of the things that should make this a way better game than the one in Florida---Lofton is BACK!! :dance2: I think the guys will really be up for this game and you know TBA will be rocking. Hope this is a sellout. the team feeds off of the fans. I am glad to say I will be one of the thousands in the stands.
GO VOLS!!!!

i disagree, tennessee averages 80.2 points a game, florida averages 79.5. if the game is in the 80s its a wash. if we can score 90+ then you can feel good about winning. that is unlikely, so we need some good defense from our "bigs" and to at least make the rebounding margin respectable. we need to shoot 50% and 35-40% from three, and force somewhere in the neighborhood of 20 turnovers to win. in other words, the best game of the year for our boys. i think that with the momentum from the ark game, we can do it.

I think C.J. Watson laid the blueprint for beating UF last year; elbow Joann Noah in the mouth and dislodge more of those vampire like daggers she calls teeth. I think C.J. still has shards of teeth in his elbow.

We need to convert what turnovers we get into points. We need to do our best at keeping the ball away from FLA's bigs. That's one thing I'll say about Bradshaw - he's done a pretty good job at denying the feed. Once they get it, the size differential is just too much to overcome.

That was very effective
