Tennessee Game Thread

[GWJay]

Anyone know any bars in Detroit where Creighton fans will be at ahead of the the games? Would like to be among fellow Jays fans

In my opinion, these two teams look like they are well-matched. Looking through the stats, the thing that stood out most to me was free throws.

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.

Miller hitting a 3 has to be a good sign for the night
