Game Preview
Tennessee Volunteers and Georgia Southern Eagles square off on Tuesday at Thompson-Boling Arena in Knoxville, Tennessee.
One of the most dangerous sides within the Southeastern Conference, the Tennessee Volunteers, who have a 6-3 record, showed their resiliency lately by defeating Illinois 86-79 at home in a hard-fought game. Their capacity to remain competitive in close matches and their offensive prowess were both on display in this triumph. The Volunteers’ offensive efficiency is demonstrated by their average of 78.6 points per contest, ranking them 112th in the country. With a field goal percentage of 43.8 which ranks 229th in the country, they could do better when choosing their shots. Their numerous scoring possibilities are demonstrated by their free-throw percentage of 76.2% that is 44th nationally, and three-point shooting percentage of 33.2% which ranks 194th nationwide. Dalton Knecht, who scores 19.2 points per contest and has good shooting efficiency, leads the club in scoring. Leading assist provider Zakai Zeigler averages 3.9 per match.
The Georgia Southern Eagles, who have a 0-9 record after a difficult start to the season, are still in search of their first win. Currently ranked thirteenth in the Sun Belt Conference, their December 9th matchup with the University of North Florida demonstrated their continued troubles. They played with a competitive mentality throughout the game, but ultimately fell 64-56 away. The team’s offensive statistics show some of their struggles; they rank 307th in the country in terms of average points scored per game and only shoot 40.6 percent of field goals, which stands at 322nd in the entire nation. Although their three-point percentage of 34.0% for 159th in the country, gives them some hope, their general lack of scoring consistency has been a significant barrier. The Eagles’ executives have been working hard to guide the group through this challenging time. Tyren Moore tops the team in scoring with 11.9 points per contest, and Deuce Dean leads the team in steals with 1.1 steals per match and assists with 2.6 assists per contest.
