Tennessee blasted Appalachian State Tuesday, toppling the Mountaineers on the Summitt 79-38. Here are three things.
Put the “D,” in Defense
8^)
The Volunteer defense allowed just 38 points against the Mountaineers, the lowest opponent’s point total since Rick Barnes became coach at Tennessee.
The Vols just absolutely stifled any hopes App. State had at scoring the ball. The Mountaineers hit just 12 of their 43 field goal attempts, and while I didn’t look that stat up, I’d say that, too, is a record for the Rick Barnes/ Tennessee era of basketball.
