BTO’s Arkansas Postgame Report

[chuckiepoo]

Absolutely. Made my last post before reading this.

BHH acts like the basketball is on fire. He not only has a hard time catching passes, but he loses it for seemingly no reason after he does catch a pass. Aidoo doesn’t lose it as often, but catching is a problem. I hope they spend every day between now and Friday working on their hands. I’ve never seen hands that bad.

They make Fulky look like a wizard !

We used to have a Witch Doctor that used to hang out around the old KNS site. Don’t know what happened to him though.

Witch Doctor hung out on here, too…bones don’t lie….

At its best, this team can beat anyone. I worry about our inconsistency, especially on the road. Unfortunately, 100% of the tournament games are road games. GO VOLS!

while I understand none of the tourney games will be at “home”…….zero of them will be “road games.”

Most teams certainly play better at home……it’s not “just” Tennessee. The teams Tennessee face will not be in their own gym…….it should be pretty even (from that aspect alone). Also Tennessee shouldn’t face anyone early with any type of “home” atmosphere (just from geography).

Folks “think” this all the time however it’s really moot.

Good point about the fact that none of the tourney games will have a true “home” atmosphere for our opponents. However, the wild variance in performance at home vs away from Knoxville is still going to be something to watch. I am hopeful that the team can peak at the right time here. I would really like to see an SEC Tournament win and a deep March Madness run - It’ll be tough. Either way, Go Vols!!

Team seems to be playing pretty well……..but with 4 freshman getting a lot of minutes…….you never know.

also Tennessee had some rough games away from home……..where some could easily have been wins. The TxTech game went to OT, it was ugly but just one more bucket and Tennessee wins.

The Texas game……Tennessee was just 1 point away from winning a game on the road in which they played horrible offensively.

The Bama game was on the road without two key players……..Tennessee probably “should” have won that one and almost did.

Almost’s don’t count in basketball………however it does show Tennessee’s D usually travels and they can make games extremely ugly and close VS really good teams even when the O is sucking.

again “freshman” and some inconsistency so who knows……right now we can “hope” based on evidence.

We'll go as far as our scoring takes us. Can we avoid long scoring droughts? I'd love for our big men to give us a little scoring in the paint. I guess it can be said by this point it is what it is but we do have a couple freshmen where the light might go on. Dreaming, I know. That's our Achilles Heel
