ANALYSIS:
Despite what their win percentage might indicate, Tennessee is a good team that can cause more than enough trouble for most opponents. Carrying a record of 16-16, they are currently rated #51 overall (out of 351) in All-Play Percentage this season. They are also ranked by this site as the #6 team (out of 14) in the SEC (average ranking 63.3). Sporting a strength-of-schedule rating of 0.756 (the 17th-highest in the country), Tennessee has prepared themselves by challenging some of the best teams in the college game.

Tennessee will mainly try to find success through their defense. They are ranked 41st in defensive efficiency and allow fewer than 94 points every 100 possessions vs. AO. Tennessee does a fantastic job to prevent opposing teams from capitalizing on chances from offensive rebounds. The squad allows AO to convert only 4.8% of all second-chance opportunities (ranked 19th in the NCAA), and with a rating of 12.69, they're 47th in potential points allowed off of the offensive glass as well. Tennessee will also take a bite out of many opponents' shooting percentages, based on the fact that the team ranks in the top-50 in three of our four primary defensive field goal categories. They're most likely to shut you down inside the three-point arc, considering the team limits AO to converting just 32.2% of their mid-range jumpers (21st in the nation), 53.9% of their near-proximity chances (43rd), and 40.7% of their total shots from the field (45th).

Tennessee plays at about the same level on offense as they do on defense. The team ranks 61st nationally in offensive efficiency, scoring about 108 points every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO. Tennessee does a super job in their efforts to get to the free throw line. With a free throw attempt rate of 33.04 vs. AO, they are ranked tenth in the nation at getting to the charity stripe, where the team shoots a rather mediocre 72.1%. Tennessee also loves taking the mid-range two, far more so than most other teams. The club is ranked 24th in ratio of mid-range attempts to total field goal attempts. If you do allow them to take that in-between shot, they can certainly make it, too. Currently rated in the top-75 in mid-range shooting percentage, they make roughly 38.9% of their attempts from that distance vs. AO.

Tennessee has definitely not been as efficient as of late compared to earlier in the season and, consequently, the team is nationally ranked 338th in positive momentum.
