Vols are facing "a mid-level Serbian team," according to Cuonzo Martin.

GBO!!!

“@BFQuinn: Vols' starting lineup vs BC Zeta Golubovci (Serbia) -- Armani Moore, Quinton Chievous, D’Montre Edwards, Skylar McBee and Yemi Makanjuola”

 

[bleedingTNorange]

2nd start in a row for Moore at PG, Edwards at SF, and Chievous at PF.

2nd start in a row for Moore at PG, Edwards at SF, and Chievous at PF.

Resting Golden and Maymon, giving confidence to Moore, and seeing if Edwards can be the starting wing.

 

[VolsFan4Ever-11]

Really like this starting unit.

Don't think it's resting golden, he'll still get his minutes, he has said hell start 5 different lineups though and there's only so many realistic opportunities.

Seems to be looking like Moore is getting a legitimate shot at backup PG though. Haven't heard about mcbee or Richardson playing backup PG, so yea staff seems to be trying to get a read.

I would've liked to seen maymon, but guess he's not 100% yet.

 

[bleedingTNorange]

Kenny Hall will be playing.

 

[bleedingTNorange]

Jeronne Maymon and Kenny both check in, BOOM!

 

[VolsFan4Ever-11]

Jeronne Maymon and Kenny both check in, BOOM!

Hell yeah

 

[bleedingTNorange]

18-6 4:12 remaining in 1st

 

[bleedingTNorange]

“@BFQuinn: Quick 1 or 2 minute appearance by Maymon. Moved well, looked comfortable, converted put-back layup.”

 

[bleedingTNorange]

DEFENSE!!!


“@BFQuinn: Took six minutes for Montenegro to convert first field goal. Jarnell Stokes responded with up-and-under dunk to give Vols 20-9 lead.”

 

[bleedingTNorange]

International refs not used to our physical D.

“@Vol_Hoops: Tennessee has had 11 fouls called against it but leads Zeta 32-14.”

 

[bleedingTNorange]

“@Vol_Hoops: At the end of the first quarter, the Vols lead Zeta 34-18. Stokes has eight points on 4-4 shooting.”

twss.

I doubt the quality of big men is good, but nice to see Jarnell in full fledged domination mode.

That's a very nice way of putting it.

And that makes me happy.

It's easy as a big guy to go soft against inferior competition, ideally you want to knock them down and put your foot on their throat. So against the Kennesaw states and teams with lesser talented posts, it looks like Stokes will take advantage and absolutely dominate.

That's a great sign.

 

[bleedingTNorange]

“@BFQuinn: Armani Moore 3-ptr from corner gives UT a 56-25 lead. Vols have more dunks than Montenegro has field goals (6). Nothing to be seen here.”

“@Vol_Hoops: Q Chievous is now the leading scorer with 13. Vols lead 56-25 (2:35, 2nd).”

 

[Chris4Vols22]

USA! We the best at round dribble orange ball!

 

[Special Ed]

Looks like another blowout in progress, but this team ain't even on the schedule. Looks like a (poor) substitute for one of the teams we were scheduled to play.

 

[bleedingTNorange]

“@BFQuinn: Halftime: Tennessee 69, Montenegro 25. UT requests running clock in 2nd half. Request is granted. That about sums up 1st half.”

 

[bleedingTNorange]

“@BFQuinn: Halftime leaders for Vols: Quinton Chievous 17, Armani Moore 10, Jarnell Stokes 8, Jordan McRae 7”

 

[Chris4Vols22]

“@BFQuinn: Halftime leaders for Vols: Quinton Chievous 17, Armani Moore 10, Jarnell Stokes 8, Jordan McRae 7”

Tisk tisk. Stokes and McRae suck. Cut 'em.
