8/8/12 exhibition game thread...

[bleedingTNorange]

Don't know how many updates well get, but figure we could use a game thread to discuss it.

Game is at 1:30 EDT and will be against All Star Italia. It's a team made up of Italian professionals who are all very experienced. Most are around 25-30 years old, so should be a decent team, and probably pretty physical guys.

GBO!!!!

Bus has broken down, may not be a game after all...

Well damn. They should have just rented a few Ferraris and Lambos.

Quinn posted a pic of the guys hitch hiking lmao!!!

Even though we can't watch it'll be good to see a box score to know how some players have progressed.

Vols hitched rides from civilians...JK, although trae, Armani and josh were on the side of the road attempting to hitch hike.

A new bus was sent and team arrived at the gym about 10 minutes ago.

Golden, mcbee, McRae, hall and stokes were starting 5. Maymon has yet to play,

McBee with the start. Contrary to what most seem to think, I think he'll hold it down if he stays healthy.

I wouldn't take too much from the starters on this trip. A. Maymon didn't start tonight(you think that sticks) B. CCM said the lineup will change for each game

BTO are you watching this somewhere or just keeping up with a box score?

Edit: Nevermind I found the twitter feed.

“@BFQuinn: Regardless of competition (pretty light), Vols playing some in-your-shorts defense. Italians are rushed and scrambled. 4 fgs in 12 minutes.”

That's what I like to hear. Love me some hard nosed defense.

Not taking anything from the line-up on this trip. Just my opinion. It may not necessarily mean McBee sees the most minutes just because he starts. Bringing another wing off the bench in a 6th man type roll may just be the way they handle it. I don't really know. Just a worthless prediction.

Nothing wrong with predictions, that's what makes it all fun. I think mcbee sees around 15-20 minutes a game, of that's from a starting spot ok.

Jarnell has 10 atm. Apparently going beastmode down low.

 

[bleedingTNorange]

BOOM?

“@Vol_Hoops: Jarnell Stokes now with 10 points. The Italians have no answer for him down low right now.”

 

[bleedingTNorange]

F u cavol!

39-17 Tennessee at the half. I think we're probably playing pretty well if we're beating an "all-star" team this badly.

It was 31-17 with 3:00 left so that means we held them scoreless for at least the final 3 minutes of the half.
