Tennessee vs Kentucky 3rd Time!

Phillips is better in the paint, but Igor is a threat from the outside and has a pretty good 3 ball. I feel like Phillips plays more of a center/forward hybrid position and Igor plays more of a guard/forward hybrid. I love watching Phillips play. He looks undersized and outmanned in the paint a lot of the time, but nobody plays tougher. As he continues to bulk up he will only get better.

One has to wonder what Estrella would've brought to the team. Would've definitely provided a boost.

Here's interesting info from an article:

. The Cats Made it Rain

How do you beat a good defensive team? Make shots. That's exactly what the Wildcats did in each meeting against the Vols. Kentucky was exactly 50% from the field in both wins and 12-24 from three-point land. The Cats have only made 12+ threes in one game since the matchup with the Vols, a 31-point win over LSU on Senior Night.

If they do it again, they'll beat us again. I trust Barnes to make the necessary adjustments.
 
Somebody mentioned it earlier and it is a shame that UT actually has 2 seniors that havn't transferred, in today's game that's a lot.
Be fun to watch. Barnes has had some really good teams at UT I'd like to see him take them to their first final 4 before he hangs it up.


Vols need to stay within 4 made 3pt
A tight whistle greatly benefits Kentucky.
Must win points in the paint or made free throws by 8 pts+

ZZ is a much better distributor than scorer. Career 39% from 2 and 30% from 3. Gainey pretty much the same stat wise. To me that is a lot of UTs problem offensively, games when those guys are taking 25 plus shots and only make 8.

When Ziegler is 4/7 from the field with 7 dimes and Lanier knocks down 4 3s the outcome has been a lot better.

I agree. I cringe every time Gainey shoots a 3 unless it's a rare game where he's red hot.

TN defense is awesome and they are shooting way better than the 2 matchups in regular season. KY was down by 14 at halftime and beat Duke. But I don't see a come back from this one. TN is the better team tonight.

Unfortunately I completely agree with you…. Kentucky doesn't have the energy tonight that they brought the previous two games.
