Tennessee’s Jarnell Stokes warms up before an NCAA college basketball gameKNOXVILLE — Jarnell Stokes put on his coaching hat before Tennessee’s basketball practice Monday afternoon.
The forward knows what defensive game plan he’d use if he were any opponent remaining on the Volunteers’ schedule.
“I feel like Virginia’s going to try zone,” he said of the Cavaliers, who host Tennessee tonight.
“If they watch the Georgetown game, they should try it.”
Against the Hoyas’ 2-3 zone, Tennessee was bad, and that might be putting it nicely. The Vols shot just 32.6 percent and made only 15 shots and three of 16 3-point attempts. The bad shooting carried over to the free-throw line, where Tennessee made three of 11 attempts.
