It will be in the ESPN app. If you have cable, the SEC Network Alternate channel should pop up in your guide. It won't be on YoutubeTV or HuluLive though, so you'll have to use the ESPN app.

Yah...we don't have any excellent shooters and if we do they are not playing.
He also broke down all of our problems on D so far. Not blowing up screens, fouling too much, not forcing a high enough % of jumpers, leaving too many open 3's, and allowing too many easy 2's. That's not a "How to"...that is a "How to Not" play defense. He talked about how the Vogt/Rap combo was not working of course. Other than Eason I think he nailed every player review. He pointed to 6 TO's and 6 pts for Eason but 4 of those TO's were in game 1 and Brannen seems to have pulled back the reins on his offensive game for now in order to play him extended minutes. |

Tennessee will settle for mid-range over getting to the rim so we have to stay in front to force them into that. They took 26 mid-range shots and had 11 dunks/close to the rim shots in their first game. Last year they took more mid-range than around the rim.
We have to make them take those and if they go in they go in. Our strategy basically needs to be what that write up said their strategy is for keith. |

I see this as a test game, thus far we aren't really sure how good we are or how good the teams we've played are. Tennessee looks good, probably top 25 good (and by their ranking, quite a few people think better than top 25 good). I expect them to beat us comfortably, but hope I am wrong. The best hope we have is to take advantage of Vogt's size inside and get their bigs in foul trouble. Unless our defense pulls a miracle turn-around, they are going to rack up points. I doubt we can keep up. |

Looks like a lot of the betting action has gone our way since the line opened up at +9. It's down to +7 now.
Hoping to see us play loose and confident. My expectations are low so if we can make it a competitive game down the stretch then I'll be satisfied. |
