Tennessee's stilted offense finally caught up to them against Texas; tonight is their first opportunity to fix issues and recover.
Last we left the Lady Vols, they stumbled to a 64-5 home loss vs. Texas. Defensively, Tennessee was up for the challenge: 64 points on 75 possessions for a 0.855 O-PPP, a -14.7% (Texas) O-Rebounding rate, and a 15/14 edge in turnovers are very winnable numbers. Oh the other side of the floor, however, Tennessee only put up a 0.714 O-PPP, an assist/turnover ratio of 0.7, and a 33% e-FG%. Texas also had a 27-11 advantage in free throw attempts (with a make advantage of 16-7, two points off the final margin), largely because Tennessee's offense struggled to put the Texas defense in positions where fouling was necessary.
