They're a mirror image of Mizzou, IMO.
The problem for Mizzou, a good offensive team, is that sometimes they play good offense and the shots just don't fall. We've seen a lot of that today. Meanwhile if you're a team that plays good defense, that really just translates to good results pretty much every time.
But yeah, TN is a great defensive team that goes as it's offense goes. Mizzou is typically an outstanding offensive team that wins when they can get just enough stops on defense. Then they just have the caveats that sometimes even good offensive teams aren't hitting on a given day.

I respectfully disagree.
I think Mizzou's defense over the course of the season has been much worse than Tennessee's offense has.
Tennessee's defense and Mizzou's offense are comparable in terms of performance over the course of the year (both are at least top 10 if not higher depending on what #s you look at).
I think Gates has done a great job year 1 trying to overcome the shortcomings of the situation he's inherited and if he's doing this already, as well as being a notoriously good recruiter at FSU, Mizzou will be in great shape next year and in the future.
Gates has been squeezing every possible drop he can out of this roster. Tennessee's roster is better constructed than Mizzou's(that's what happens when you have a competent coach who has been in place for 8 years vs a good coach in year 1 taking over a shit show).
And, **** Tennessee. I despise their fanbase.
