Tennessee Volunteers vs. Louisiana-Lafayette Ragin' Cajuns: stat comparison

Keys to the game

Can we score? The Ragin' Cajuns appear to be a strong defensive team, holding their opponents to 66 points per game and 40% shooting from the field. They also block shots at an average of 6.4 times each game. Of course, our scoring offense is 8th in the nation with the guys putting up an average of 84.1 points per game.

Rebounding. Tennessee is 13th in the nation in rebounding margin, grabbing an average of 9.7 more boards than its opponents. UL-Laf. gives up an average of 1.7 more to its opponents per game.

Louisiana-Lafayette players to watch

Travis Bureau. Bureau is an excellent shooter, both from the field and from behind the arc. He hits over 50% from two-point range and nearly 47% of his threes.

Tyren Johnson and Colby Batiste. The Cajuns have not one, but two, shot blockers ranked in the top 100 in the nation. You'd think that they'd be a better rebounding team until you consider the possibility that they're still coming down when the rest of the players are going up for the board.

This should be a huge game for Wayne and Tyler. No reason we don’t dominate the boards both ways and have them each put up double figures in points. Heck, even Brian Williams should have a field day in this one.
