Unexpected Alliances: How Cougars and Volunteers Are Changing the Game and Surprising Everyone

Tennessee is off to a fantastic start to its season, sitting at 6-0 for the year. They haven’t really played many teams of substance, but they did play yesterday and beat Rutgers. I wouldn’t say that Rutgers is a juggernaut, but certainly, they have more talent than the previous five teams that the Volunteers faced. A reason for Tennessee fans to be excited about the win yesterday is that it was the first game of the season away from the comfort of their home stadium, and the team still scored 85 points. It was the second lowest team total of the year, but so many schools get into a funk the moment they go into a different gym. Senior Ja’Kobi Gillespie was definitely comfortable in the game, dropping 32 points on Rutgers, and he was efficient doing it in 29 minutes. He shot 55% from the field overall, and 60% from three. Don’t expect that same level of success today as Houston is a team built on defense, and they certainly will take note of Gillespie’s early season success.
