Alright, do we stand a chance in this game? I haven't paid much attention to them this year, I just know they were ranked #1 for a while. 29-5 with wins against Kentucky and Gonzaga. How do we match up with them? What are their strengths?

They stand a chance in any game if they play their game & can get shots to fall
Can't wait to see what Iowa can do to them on Sunday.
Gonna need to play their best, no doubt about it.
Hopefully it's a later game to give us any extra rest we can get! Yes, we....I need some rest too

As long as Tennessee isn't knocking down 3s like they did against Auburn, we'll be fine..........
Need to play like we did against Michigan in that home game. Make threes and free throws. Do a better job on the boards and limit turnovers. I know, easier said than done.
Depends on how the legs feel come Sunday, high 3 ball proficiency = need legs to be fresh
Colgate is giving UT fits. Iowa has pretty good shot at Sweet16 if Colgate wins. If UT wins, Iowa could still have a shot if they continue to shoot well and and Tyler cook and Moss show up.
I had Iowa beating Cincinnnati and losing to UT. Would be great to see Iowa win.....at very least make it a game.

Tennessee is far from unbeatable. They hit a pair of very late threes against mighty Colgate (#15 seed), or they wouldn't be playing anybody on Sunday.
Of course the Vols are good, but it's mostly about Iowa. Get some early rebounds, keep hitting shots, play smart and with energy, and the team that gave Michigan its biggest loss of the year most certainly can beat Tennessee.

Colgate's point guard made 8 of 13 threes. Hopefully a good sign for Jordan Bohannon.
and as long as we aren't missing them like we did vs mi
I feel like if Iowa goes out there and does better sport than Tennessee that they should have a good shot at the game. Keys to the game are to score more points and do more rebounds.
Colgate gave Tennessee everything they wanted. Tennessee hasn't looked very good these last couple of games. I think there still tired from that Kentucky game. Jbo has no shot at guarding Bone, but he is lazy on defense and think JBo will be able to get off some threes. Will have to put Moss or Dailey on Bone. Iowa has size advantage inside and should dominate them. Tennessee lives and dies by the three.
This is should be fun!

They really wanted to push the pace early against Colgate when they had control of the game. They started with kind of a traditional 3 forward lineup where I saw all three post up at least once. 7 guys played meaningful minutes.
They rank in the 200's in 3 pointers allowed. They're in the 300's in 3 point attempts although they do shoot a good percent from the arc. Colgate played a zone that forced UT to settle which bit them until the end when they connected.
