How is the Vol defense? Do they run a a good 2-3 zone, or are they more man?

The way to beat GTown is by using a 2-3 zone, and it has to be done right. Do that, and GTown struggles. Play softer zone or man, gtown will backdoor you to death...

Any help would be appreciated as I am looking at making a small investment on gtown -6

They play man to man and foul the shite out of every offensive player that touches the ball. They are very physical in other words and if the refs allow it they will beat GTown. Their offense is predicated on rhythm and back cuts. If TN is allowed to physically beat up the GTown players they have no shot.

Maymon is still out so that's one less goon they can use as a bruiser though.

Can't really argue with any of this. We play a knockdown drag out, big 10, offensively boring style of basketball. because of it we're pretty much capable of winning every game we play.

Maymon being out does hurt a bit, but Stokes is still a beast and Kenny Hall and Yemi have stepped in nicely.
