Tennessee Tech Postgame Report

1. Tennessee Tech came out firing on all angles. Partly because of just making good shots and partly because of defense. We don't come out the gate right away wanting to lock down teams. Don't fix that and the WSU game will be very tough.

2. Once again a game with single digit turnovers (5) to their 14. Our two PG's had a combined 1 turnover (DThomp). We take care of the ball extremely well and force teams into turnovers and convert to points. 13 points off of 14 turnovers.

3. Was against the 4 out 1 offense in the beginning because I thought it would take away from Maymon, but the more the offense is out there the more I like it. I think we will use it more against Wichita State.

4. Speaking of Maymon he's starting to make shots that he couldn't make early in the year and he's also very valuable in the passing game from the high post ( 3 assist) This needs to be used more until they can stop it.

5. The defense turned up in the second half. Coming out up 41-40. Tenn Tech only scored 23 points in the second half. They were stuck on 48 points until the 9 min mark if iirc. When we WANT to play defense we can really shut teams down.

6. Let JRich continue to shoot 3's he's really improved his game and is only going to benefit us more when teams scout for it and he uses his first step to drive and shoot his midrange jumpshot/runner.

7. Bernard King Player of the Game: Jarnell Stokes again. 19 points 13 rebounds. 6 OFF of rebounds. Shooting 8-14 (57%) from the field 3-4 (75%) He continues to show that he should touch the ball every possession. 4th straight double-double. 5th of the season and 23 out of 58 games have been double doubles. Keep working young man.

8. 18 offensive rebounds of our 43 total. That tells me that we crash the boards hard and we have players that want second opportunities to score at the basket.

9. Our freshman continue to show that they have improved on defense and will be something we can depend on late in the game. Hopefully Hubbs continues to be aggressive his shots will start to fall. Darius does what he needs to do as a PG doesn't get flustered. We will see how he handles the loud crowd at WSU. Davis is going to be good. I seen him pick up the little PG for Tenn Tech and guard him one on one with no help defense at all. Weight is all he needs,

10. We have a week off to prepare for the Shockers. Coming out slow against this team will put us in a serious hole in that game. I expect a tough hard fought game. Keep it close in the second half and then bury them with Mcrae and Stokes.

Go Vols let's take it those Shockers! :rock:

Good write up SJA. I was about to write one then I saw yours. We're seeing old Maymon again, I really like that.

Also, Aj Davis's dunk was awesome!

I agree. Hopefully against WSU he comes ready to destroy and wow at the dunk by AJ

As stupid as I thought it was to make the Xavier road trip the season opener, I think it was excellent scheduling to have a full week before the big trip to Wichita.

Espn3 will have it on replay. Idk how soon though.

Yeah Maymon doesn't have the get up just yet but he puts his body into the man and gets his shots up. I like that. He should continue to kill at the high low position.

Stokes continues to be a space eater. I think that's why people say the 4 out 1 in works better. I'm starting to see it myself.

Don't think espn3 will have a replay. Pretty sure fox sports net did the broadcast today.

Not surprised he played well off the bench. I've been asking for it. Wish it was a coaching move, to be honest.

Seemed to play about the same as he did the previous 2 games I thought. He's coming into form more than anything IMO, he seems to look better every game.

Tough penalty being that he played before the first media TO

I'm guessing it's got to do with past run ins. If it was Hall it maybe would've been a half or game, as far as I know this is Maymon's first issue, and a minor one.

And considering a noon tip, it's somewhat understandable he wasn't at TBA at probably the required 9am.

Does anybody have a link of A.J.'s dunk that he did? I was in the bathroom and I missed it. Lol

I'm glad we came out and asserted ourselves more in the 2nd half. However, if we decide to come out and play like that in the game against Wichita St or Virginia then we'll get beat. We need to come out with the same mentality that we did against Xavier and Wake. You can't sleepwalk through a half and expect to play catch up against good teams. The noon tipoff probably didn't help (and I can't stand that early of a game), but we sleepwalked in the 1st half after a week off. Hopefully, we wake up against Wichita St.

The week off, noon tip, coming home from Bahamas and exams all probably contributed to the slow start.
