A familiar theme plagued Tennessee against LSU Saturday evening as the Vols fell to the Tigers 79-67.
The Vols struggled offensively, again, with an overall 39-percent figure that looks a little more respectable on paper than what we saw on the floor. Part of that was the dismal first half, in which Tennessee hit just nine of 22 shots and four of 14 3-point attempts. UT fell victim to multiple, several-minute scoring droughts, just like we saw against Ole Miss and numerous other times this season.
To make matters worse, Tennessee’s defense had no answers for LSU’s size, speed and overall athleticism.
