ANALYSIS: When you talk about the elite teams in college basketball this year, Tennessee most definitely is in the conversation. Haslametrics has them ranked fifth overall (out of 364) in All-Play Percentage, and the team holds a record of 30-8. They are also ranked by this site as the #3 team (out of 16) in the SEC (average ranking 32.0). Sporting a strength-of-schedule rating of 0.759 (the 17th-highest in the country), Tennessee has prepared themselves by challenging some of the best teams in the college game.
Tennessee will suffocate most opponents with its stifling defense. Allowing roughly 91 points for every 100 possessions vs. AO and exhibiting a preference for a style of play that will try to grind things to a crawl (the eighth-slowest pace in D1), this squad is rated #3 in defensive efficiency. Tennessee will do a number on many an opponent's shooting percentage, as the team ranks in the top-25 in three of our four major defensive field goal categories. They allow AO to convert only 27.6% of their three-pointers (third in the nation), 49.1% of their near-proximity attempts (second), and 36.2% of their total shots from the field (second). Tennessee also does a fantastic job to prevent opposing teams from capitalizing on chances from offensive rebounds. The squad allows AO to convert only 3.5% of all second-chance opportunities (ranked third in the NCAA), and with a rating of 10.46, they're fifth in potential points allowed off of the offensive glass as well.
Tennessee plays at about the same level on offense as they do on defense. The team ranks 17th nationally in offensive efficiency, scoring about 123 points every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO. Tennessee allows very few breakaway opportunities for the opposition, which typically translates to fewer turnovers. The team's rating vs. AO for potential breakaway points allowed off of steals is 8.67, which ranks #8 in the country. Tennessee also does a super job in their efforts to get to the free throw line. With a free throw attempt rate of 33.20 vs. AO, they are ranked 14th in the nation at getting to the charity stripe. In addition, the team is in the top-100 in free throw shooting, converting a solid 74.6% of their attempts.
Tennessee has been one of the more erratic teams in NCAA basketball this year (presently ranked 335th in the country in consistency), which makes forecasting the outcomes of their upcoming games tougher than most.
Projections are based on present-day ratings. Stars indicate games played at a neutral location. Game efficiencies only account for data before a contest has gone analytically final and are adjusted to extract home-court advantage.
