I can't stand Plasvic, though. He tries putting on this tough guy act. He does it against Tshiebwe. He's garbage.
I don't know what to expect from Tennessee in the tournament. Their scoring is inconsistent as hell and Ziegler be out doesn't help that. But, they are as good as anyone when they're on their A game defensively. I can see them losing Round 1 as easily I can see them making it to the Sweet 16 or Elite 8 (they don't have the offense to make it to the Final Four).

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.
