Tigers Focused for "War in the Paint" vs. Tennessee

Get the Spiderman memes ready.

When No. 13 LSU and No. 5 Tennessee tipoff Saturday at 11 a.m., the two teams staring at each other on opposite sides of the court might offer a finger-point of recognition.

On one side, the Tigers: a paint-pounding team with a versatile four man, a playmaking point guard, and much happier to attack the rim than settle from three.

On the other side, the Volunteers: a paint-pounding team with a versatile four man, a playmaking point guard, and much happier to attack the rim than settle from three.

On the season, Tennessee is outscoring opponents by 290 points in the paint, averaging 37.
