Tennessee held LSU to just 4-of-16 shooting from beyond the 3-point line and continues to be one of the most relentless defensive units in the nation. Rick Barnes' squad ranks first in the nation in field goal percentage allowed (34.3), first in 3-point percentage allowed (21.8) and second in points allowed per game (54.4).
What you need to know about Georgia
Georgia began SEC play with wins in three of its first four but has suffered back-to-back losses to Kentucky and Vanderbilt last week. Jabri Abdur-Rahim had 21 points off the bench but it wasn't enough on Saturday as the Bulldogs lost to the Commodores 85-82.
Bradley transfer Terry Roberts had 15 points, six assists and six rebounds in the loss and has been one of Georgia's biggest offseason additions. He leads the team in scoring (15.9 points per game) and assists (4.2 assists per game). However, he's shooting just 34.5% from the floor over his last five games and the Bulldogs have lost three times during that span.
