Vol Defense Most Impressive in 124-Point Scoring Effort

Posted by Tom Wilson | Posted in Regular Season | Posted on 11-18-2009

Tennessee set a school all-time single game scoring record last night against UNC-Asheville with 124 points, but it was Tennessee’s team defense that was the most impressive aspect of Tuesday night’s win.

Let’s get one thing straight.  Asheville would likely not win a game in the SEC, but it is a Division One program.  The Vols held Asheville to one field goal in the first half on their way to a 66-14 halftime lead.  Asheville’s other 12 points came at the foul line.

It was without question the best half-court defensive performance by Tennessee in Bruce Pearl’s four-plus years at Tennessee.  The Vols were fundamentally sound in every aspect.  Their on-ball defense was excellent. Their weakside defense and positioning was consistently good all night, and they weren’t afraid to take a charge.

In two games, granted against mid-major opponents, Tennessee has held them to 36% and 24% field goal shooting for the game.  The Vols have not done that in previous seasons under Pearl, not even to mid-majors.

If you prefer to focus on offense, Tennessee was impressive.  Perhaps most impressive was the team’s assist-to-turnover ratio which was 34-12, almost 3-1.

Any team that scores 124 points while only committing 12 turnovers is executing at a high level, and Tennessee did just that Tuesday night.
