Breaking down some of Tennessee’s offensive struggles against Cincinnati

Tennessee beat Cincinnati 65-56 Saturday to move to 2-0 on the season. In lieu of Three Things, we’re gonna just do an extended version on one thing — Tennessee’s offense.

Tennessee Made Easy Look Tough

While I watched the game, at several points, I thought to myself, “this is an ugly game for the Vols.” And most of the stats would back up that sentiment.

The Vols missed easy shots and looked quite out of sorts large spurts of the game. Josiah-Jordan James and John Fulkerson both missed layups insides the games first three minutes, and Tennessee trailed by as many as six points before taking its second lead at around the 6:50 mark of the first half (the first lead was 2-0 at the beginning of the game).
