Scouting Report: Tennessee Volunteers

Tennessee enters this afternoon’s game with a record of 13-9, 5-4 in Southeastern Conference action. The Volunteers are coming off of a one-point win at Alabama Tuesday evening, a game that they trailed by as many as 15 points late in the first half. Tennessee lost one of their best players, Lamonte Turner, in December after he announced his college basketball career was over due to lingering shoulder injuries. The Redshirt Senior had been a 4-year contributor in their backcourt and was averaging a career-best 12.3 points per game when his career was cut short. The Volunteers are a streaky 3-point shooting team that relies on controlling the pace and a very good defense to try and keep the game in the sixties.
