If we don't figure out these offensive scoring slumps,

[a vol n tears]

Many may disagree but I like what Plav has been doing. Other than Aidoo’s shot blocking I think Plav is the best of the bunch right now.

Easily agree. All of the others have hands of stone and struggle shooting 3 footers. When Fulky is playing the 5 spot, at least the opposing center has to guard him.

click bait.

I have seen us struggled with full and 3/4.court.pressure this yr. That's how Arky climbed back into that blowout. That's what I'd be fixing.

It just baffles me how much chandler is struggling at the line. He needs to work on his free throws all week.

It's mental or lack there of....

 

[savannahfan]

He has a lot better 3 point shot than free throw. Looks like he he doesn't put an arc on his FF shot.

The three is 90% physical ability and 10% reaction timing. FF are 90% mental and 10% physical reparation..

I don’t like the way he looks at the floor, and then glances at the goal and fires!

My wife (who coaches girls basketball) says the same thing! It drives her nuts!

I don’t think it’s any coincidence we have droughts and are also one of the worst 2pt shooting teams around…we need Fulky to be efficient for us in the post and if Plav is in the game it’s not a bad idea to try and get him a touch or 2 imo, his baby hook when he’s got position is actually pretty effective.

All teams have 2 min. To the extreme 5 min+ droughts from time to time. Not every game but of course you notice it with your own team more. B ball is a game of runs . The 3 & shot clock & aggressive picks & hard cuts mean double digit leads can vanquish fast.Buckle up it’s gonna be a bumpy ride to the Final 4 but we have the team to do it.

Last year Tennessee was a 5th seed playing without their center…….looking at a 3 right now.

my goodness there’s a lot of pretend Vol fans on here.

Lol not a huge difference. The point was that TN was a stellar defensive team last year and didn't show up against a #12 team.

There’s a huge difference in a 5 seed without their only viable center playing a 12

And a 3 seed playing a 14.

Last year before any tourney Tennessee was: loss loss, win win, loss, win win, loss, win, loss, win,

This year since the KY loss Tennessee is 12-2………..there’s a HUGE difference.

I am hopeful that Aidoo and BHH learned from recent increased minutes they cannot go softly to the rim. Does not work at this level. If they have they will draw defensive attention away from our perimeter guys. Several dunks give me hope.

The good thing with those 2 is they appear to be good ft shooters. Go hard - dunk it or get fouled!
