Lady Vols vs Liberty predictions
Tennessee 105, Liberty 55: The Flames have been a bit turnover prone to start the season and that’ll only get worse against the Lady Vols’ press. Tennessee’s opponents are averaging 30 turnovers, leading to 42.3 points off turnovers per game. The Lady Vols will win this handily, and things could get ugly for Liberty.
