Vogt is going to be the key to the game. Tennessee doesn't have much size, their biggest starter is listed at 6'9" 197#. On paper it doesn't look like they have anyone with the size to guard Vogt (except a freshman center who averages only 5 minutes per game). On the flip side, it doesn't look like they have anyone who Vogt can guard.

I suspect we will see Tennessee collapse on defense every time Vogt touches the ball. If Vogt can have a big game rebounding and fight through the double to score or make the right pass (and we hit threes), we should be in good shape on offense. Defensively, Brannen needs to have a plan to provide Vogt help. Otherwise it's going to be a repeat of Vogt getting abused on the defensive end.

The team that can take advantage of the size (Vogt) vs speed (Fulkerson) matchup at center, probably wins.

This years Tennessee team, on paper, reminds me of a Cronin coached Bearcats team.

They can’t shoot, they allow the 3 ball, they play slow and they also defend the 2pt shot like madmen.

They also crack under defensive pressure and can be loose with the ball.

This was supposed to be a rebuilding year for tenn but when you defend at a top 15 level, it raises your floor.

I’m gonna pick the cats tonight. First big home game. Only sold out fried of the year. Let’s get lit
 
Im not picking anybody this team doesn't reserve a right to be chosen. This isnt the bearcat basketball that im used to. John Brannens gonna have to make me believe.. And Jhub you should initiate that tattoo if they make the tournament period that would be appropriate/fair enough bc gazing into the crystal ball its looking pretty bleek as far as thar happening; n this is the University of f'n Cincinnati where the big O played. Where we at the least annually make the dance. Never should anyone be satisfied with the CBI, NIT, GTFOH
 
I don’t understand why Jarron can’t drive anymore. They spread out the whole floor for him and he can’t do anything. Not giving him a hard time, just asking the question. Last year he would take anyone to the hole. This year nothing.
 
We just don’t look good. Even when we aren’t throwing the other team the ball. Can’t get any easy looks, can’t stop them from scoring. Can’t rebound. McNeal isn’t even being guarded.

Which to me shows it’s clearly injury and then being out of shape because of it.

His playmaking is still the best on the team, even injured

It has to be one of those two. Last year he would at least get a decent shot up even time. He can’t even beat his man,
 
Can we try not having jarron run the point, he was good his first 3 years off the ball

Add in that Jarron is our best playmaker

He has taken just 3 shots but has a team leading 3 assists.


But he’s also In his own head.

I agree, he’s a great passer. Just find it weird that he can’t seem to get to the rim at all. After a year when he got to the rim every time.
