WBB Sweet Sixteen vs Tennessee 6:30 Mar 25

The #4 Ladies play #24 Tennessee tonight at 6:30 in Seattle. The line is even; over/under is 138.5. The game is on ESPN2. These two teams played at Tennessee on Dec 4; and VT won 59-56. The Hokies were in control most of the game; they lead by 10 after the first quarter; 4 at the half. UT closed to within 2 at the start of the second half; the the Hokies pulled away to lead by 8 after three quarters. They held on to win by three when a desperation shot at the buzzer missed. Kitley only had 6 points and 9 rebounds in this game playing mostly against 6'6" Tamari Key. Key will not play today. The tallest starter for UT will probably be #11 Karoline Striplin, 6'3" Soph Forward; but 6'5" soph Jillian Hollingshead #53 plays about 17 min per game off the bench.

Tennessee has played 14 opponents who are currently ranked or receiving votes. Their only wins were against #21 Colorado on Nov 25 and RV Ole Miss on Feb 2. They also beat RV Toledo on Mar 20 to advance to the Sweet Sixteen.

Tennessee is not a particulary good three point team at 31.8%; but they only allow 31.0%. Only Tess Darby shoots above 32% at 42.2% on 70 of 166 among players likely to shoot from beyond the arc. Striplin will step out occasionally and shoot a three; but she only has 12 made threes on the season in 29 attempts.

UT outrebounded their opponents by 10.5 rebounds per game; they average 15 offensive rebounds per game. The battle on the boards may be critical tonight.

Only #2 Jackson and #25 Horston average double figure scoring; but a lot of players (8) average 5 to 7 ppg.


I'm optimistic about this game. I don't see Tennessee holding Kitley down again. And if our three point shooters can make their average, we should be able to bring home a win and move on to the Elite Eight.

LET'S GO HOKIES!
