Creighton is #1 nationally and concedes only 10.4 FTs per game.
Tennessee is #267 and concedes 20.6 FTs per game.

Tennessee sends its opponents to the line. A lot. In some of its games, opponents went to the line upwards of 30 times. Tennessee is going to focus on lots of on-ball pressure. They want a grinder.

To me, the key to this game is attacking and drawing fouls. I hope the refs are aware of the disparity between both teams and don't try to even things out.


Agree @DC_Jay. I, too, feel like the whistle might be the differentiator. Hoping our guys drive and attempt to finish (Baylor/Ash) and Trey finally gets a little love. On the flip side, gotta keep Baylor and Kalk outta trouble like is usually the case. Can’t afford any phantoms.

They get just over 20% of their points from the FT line. We get under 15% of our points from the line. They rely on active whistles.
