I got six tickets. One of the players hooked me up with four. I had another two from my neighbor. Taking my son and his buddy, my father-in-law and two brother in-laws. So pumped for this game.

Keys-
can't let TN get hot from three.
Limit turnovers.
Limit dribble penetration.

We should own the paint and if we play better three point defense I think we win. They have struggled with their shooting so let’s roll

The top team in NET, the Arizona Wildcats, take to the road to play the Tennessee Volunteers. These are two of the fastest and best defensive teams in college hoops.

Tennessee has dropped two games against its strongest competition — Texas Tech and Villanova — and both prevented the Vols’ offense from getting going. In fact, Tennessee only scored 105 combined points against the two.

Arizona has an even more tenacious defense, so Tennessee will likely have trouble again.

Look for the Wildcats to squeeze out a tight victory on the road in this one.

Nope, looking back at it he has never beaten UA at any of those places.

I am excited and can’t wait for this game to begin. My guess is the Cats are going to be really fired up. I can’t remember the last time I have wanted to watch every single game. I want to drive to McKale from Phoenix and watch the UCLA game.

In the radio pre-game interview with Ryan, Coach Lloyd said in his experience Barnes has stuck with his uptempo pace and doesnt expect him to slow it down this time either.

This is stunning. The Cats are shell shocked. It's not like they don't see this type of pressure. Not overly concerned yet. It is still early.
