Practice Day in St. Louis

Bruce Pearl believes he can make history Friday. So do his players. The Vols took the court for practice at The Ed (Edward Jones Dome) on Thursday and Pearl let his players shoot, and then shoot more, and then shoot more. After practice, Pearl said the Vols ability shooting the ball on Friday will have more to do with how they handle Ohio State's defense than it does with the sightlines inside the dome.
It will also come down to how the Volunteers contain national player of the year candidate Evan Turner. Stopping Turner won't guarantee a Tennessee win, but Pearl says a defensive gameplan has to start somewhere-- and the focus will be on containing Turner.
