[marcusluvsvols]

Anybody know how I can watch live on my android? Watchespn app won't work...

 

[VolsFan4Ever-11]

There we go Yemi.

 

[ttocswob]

Yemi got game all of a sudden.

 

[governmentmule]

a Mac attack

 

[1985Vols]

Mac & CHeese baby!!

 

[YankeeVol]

Yemi with the basket and 1!!!!!!

 

[trevols81]

At least Yemi can rebound.

 

[Escape Goat]

Vols push it out to six and not a single individual on the vol bench is doing more than a golf clap. Yeah, they're into this game.

I noticed that too!

 

[utkCREW]

Missippissi St is gonna lose...They look like a team full of Scotty Hopsons at times...

 

[volbeast33]

I love that the announcer called the other one on sucking off Savannah st.

and then the other defends it with "They've NEVER been in the post season."

So? Announcers are supposed to announce, not be bias.

Sav state is a small school with a chance to beat a bcs conference team in their house.....I would be all over sav state too.

 

[mtt2d]

Nice plays Yemi!

 

[GTvols]

The announcers get paid to talk about the game. I can care less about what they say because it's all bull.

 

[GAVol]

The best offense we've got against these guys is to put the ball on the rim and go get it.

 

[tntornadox]

Wonder if these announcers realize this isn't a huge crowd.

Based off what I have heard from them, they are NIT quality and are probably more used to calling games in gyms, not arenas... xD

 

[King Webbsticles]

For the most part there is a huge difference, but jacking up 3's is still about the same.

Agree but that is one the players. Martin's system is to pound inside and shoot over it when inside gets congested. It is up to the players to pound it inside instead of settling.

Pearl's O was shoot, shoot and shoot. Shoot out of your slump, no matter what.

 

[Daloth]

Yemi will be good with some practice. he already has what most post men never get.

A good free throw shot.

 

[Spartacavolus]

I look forward to Yemi as a junior with a little jump hook with each hand.

You guys realize how big he could get?

 

[YankeeVol]

Who's announcing on TV?

 

[OrangeUTopia]

They aren't COMPLETE garbage, also have a very good coach

They played and lost to the following this year:

Georgetown 83-54
Indiana 94-65
Butler 57-42
GT 65-45
Wisconsin 66-33
Arkansas 83-66

Those were the only high DI teams they played this year and basically got smoked in each.

 

[1985Vols]

These guys lost to Ga Tech by 20 and are an 8 seed in the NIT. They're not exactly world beaters.

Please realize we"re playing without our best player....

He's worth 12-15 points and 12 rebounds in a game like this

 

[OrangeBalls]

If Yemi can get some good coaching, he can be a serviceable big guy for us in 2-3 years.

 

[alaVOL]

Score?

 

[ttocswob]

No joy in Starkville Dogs go down 101-96

Exactly. I can't wait till we get a group of players who no longer have that let's just keep jacking up 3's mentality.

 

[utkCREW]

I bet you Missippissi St....that they'll have a brawl in the locker room tonight.


UMASS WINNAH!
