Key Takeaways
Tennessee: Last year, Dalton Knecht was good enough to help the Vols through the games in which shots weren’t falling. The 2022-23 and this season have been more challenging. Even though its defense is considered among the best in the country, Tennessee hasn’t found a consistent answer to a sluggish offense — which has resulted in occasional losses.
Versus Texas A&M
The Vols opened as a -1 road favorite but that number moved to Aggies -2.
The Aggies are 12-1 in home games. Texas A&M is second in the SEC at limiting opponent scoring, giving up 65.5 points while holding opponents to 39.7% shooting.
The Volunteers have gone 8-5 against SEC opponents. Tennessee is sixth in the SEC with 10.3 offensive rebounds per game led by Felix Okpara averaging 2.4.
Texas A&M is 3-1 this season following a loss, a note that head coach Buzz Williams says speaks to the team's experience.
"(We have a) mature group. You don't have time to linger, even if the results are good," Williams told reporters Friday. "We better get going because we're playing a top-three team on Saturday. And so that was fun that we won however many in a row. I know, but we better get right."
