Tennessee entered this week dropping two of its last four games including over
00:05
the weekend against Vanderbilt in a game they were a five and a half point
00:10
favorite. So how would the Vols respond? Same question for the Bulldogs of
00:14
Mississippi State who oftentimes on the defensive side of the floor under head
00:19
coach Chris Janz known for being incredibly stingy but they had allowed
00:25
at least 80 points in three straight. Not all that high scoring yesterday for
00:30
the third most efficient defense in the country but the Vols back on track.
00:35
Double-digit win 68-56. Tennessee covers as an eight and a half point home
00:40
favorite. Total of 142 and a hook. Stays well under as well. Yeah you probably
00:45
thought that game would probably stay under the two calling cards for both of
00:48
these teams. It's not really getting up and down the court. It's playing good
00:50
defense and not turning the basketball over and you might say like well why is
00:53
the reason I scored 56 points is a direct correlation that you just turned
00:56
it over too many times. They only had 11 turnovers talking about Mississippi
01:00
State. Tennessee only had 10 turnovers in this game. So theoretically it was a
01:03
pretty clean basketball game but shot making ability a little bit different
01:07
there. 34% as a team from Mississippi State. 42% for the Tennessee
01:11
Volunteers and when you're getting on well it's hard to win basketball games
01:15
in college basketball on the road in conference play. It's always a starting
01:19
point here but you do look at saying okay how did home court advantage help
01:22
us here? Simple fact 10 of 33 from three-point range only 30% there. 66%
01:27
from the free throw line and if you don't get started off well in an
01:30
opposing team's gym it's typically too tough to overcome. You score 16 points in
01:35
the first half when your opponent scores 34. That game is over at the break. Even
01:39
though Mississippi State opened up a bit more in the second half with 40 points
01:42
you can't dig yourself that big of a hole against a defensive team when
01:45
you're not known then as a great offensive team already. It was over at
01:49
the half.
