Yo our team is so deep! We're going to have some players coming off of the bench that would be for sure starters on a lot of teams!

Feels like we have 8 quality starters on this team. Ticket, ON and Walker would probably start on more than a few Power 5 teams.

Speaks volume that’s Josiah still holds that starting spot

He was playing really well down the stretch last year. He is a guy that can do a little of everything.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Big props to UT-Martin for stepping up. Definitely glad the team gets back 1 of the 2 they missed.

Why? He's the only true SF we've got to play the 3 and is our team's best rebounder. JJJ was never going to be a bench player.

You jinxed it!

...I did this to the first game too, minutes after posting and saying "I can't wait to watch the basketVOLs tomorrow night" boom Barnes has Covid

 

[RyanWalkerPGH]

From Basilio this morning:

"I'm not naming names here but both guys figure to be missing when the Vols begin practice in a few days. The long and short of it is that everyone involved in college hoops everywhere are taking this season moment by moment."

Basilio was right

 

[Willy14]

Basilio was right

Is it covid related I'm assuming?

 

[bleedingTNorange]

Is it covid related I'm assuming?

Wonder if it’s not more sitting out related...Pember already had COVID.

 

[Willy14]

Wonder if it’s not more sitting out related...Pember already had COVID.

Thats exactly what I was wondering because I doubt either one of them were going to play anyways

 

[Willy14]

Wonder if it’s not more sitting out related...Pember already had COVID.

But it doesn't make much sense to just rule them out of the game with this being a covid year, just kind of confusing

Does it matter or not if you've had it but still come into contact with someone who has it when it comes to contact tracing protocols?

 

[BruinVol]

It may not with reports that some people have had it more then once

 

[The Dog]

Well, if UT had to lose 2 guys for this Colorado game, these 2 shouldn't hurt us too bad. Although, I wanted to get at least a look at Walker. Btw, I like Pember's game and think he can really help UT in a couple years, so u Pember defenders don't attack me

 

[PulaskiVolFan]

Pretty good read. This opener is going to be tough, hoping our defense gets us through it.

That last line is what worries me. I was hoping a freshman Springer or Johnson would be vocal, but it’s foolish to expect that out of any freshman.

Johnson is definitely not vocal, don't know about Springer.

Infesting to say the least

Those numbers will certainly toward the middle for all those guys I’d assume other than Oliver

Springer and Johnson have to play more if this team is gonna make noise in March. They were big in the second half of this game and are bound to improve.
