Gut Feeling praying no jinx

Early, I know…. Balanced in the front court isn’t usually something, I remember, that’s brought up when it comes to success in March but it’s been the good guys Achilles for years imo. With teams not pressuring the ball like they used to, I’m good rolling w/ ZZ, Key and Santi. Love the effort and IQ from EVERYBODY and the balance between old and young on this roster

And the buy in from everybody from 5️ to no ️, they’re bought in to winning it all.
I hope this isn’t too much of a pump post. The Vols are just sexy as hell to the eye test right now.

The way these guys play defense, if they can shoot it anywhere near like they have the last two outings they are the team to beat come March.

Dare I say it? This team has size, speed, depth, shooters, ball handlers, with hustle, heart, and selflessness. (I’m afraid to say what I’m thinking about this being RB’s best team here at UT, so I’ll just keep that to myself).

This thread should be deleted!

I will say they have been playing the type of defense that make the opponent not enjoy the offensive possessions they get.
And depth.........

Great team chemistry. Impressed with the coaching and player execution. Go Vols!

That defense is championship caliber. That shooting is championship caliber. If both continue, we continue blowing teams out.

How about trying that "one game at a time" thingy and see where it takes us?

Let's slow down till after the Bama, Ky, and Ark. games. Then talk big.

We really should know by now to not be talking like this in January.

The progression and performance of our front court is what's different this season. we've had the defense. Not since the williams era have the boys been this tough inside and especially on the offensive glass. and seem to be improving every game. Keep er rollin.

But shooting 60-70% isn’t sustainable.

You sound like someone who doesn’t think Olivier can maintain his 100% FG% from the last two games.

If they can keep the scoring droughts away , they can win a lot of games this year .

 

[CNeagleVolFan]

Let’s be real 45% is attainable. 35% from 3 is attainable. With those numbers and this defense it’s a potential final 4 team NO DOUBT. JJJ changes everything for this team. Just playing with a completely different mojo.

And, if they score more than the other team, they will really win a bunch of games.
