Number 1 team my ass. Not sure why I turned it on

Good. Turn it off.

 

[BigOrangeFanatic]

We're gonna get run tonight. All good though. Need to be humbled and stay hungry.

 

[knoxchief]

There we go!

 

[Clad in Big Orange]

As expected thus the type team that will be a matchup problem for us.

 

[vols 30]

Okpara is awful

He is. He's tall and can block a few shots. That's pretty much it

 

[VolsLFC]

Number 1 team my ass. Not sure why I turned it on

Take a lap

 

[berryvol]

Finally settled down and getting some good looks and rebounds.

 

[berryvol]

Okpara gotta get mentally better ASAP.

 

[amaralfan1]

It seems Okpara was a major weak link while he was out there. We are starting to get settled.

 

[patrick]

Igor has to make shots.

 

[Franklin_Vol09]

We will settle in

 

[Berry4Heisman14]

Maybe Cade should start. Totally different right now with him in

 

[yabadabadolnavy]

no way aidooo is worse than this 34 fella

 

[TheBigOne10]

We’re awful

Take a Valium you crack head

 

[VolsLFC]

Maybe Cade should start. Totally different right now with him in

He has really been coming on

 

[StoneokeyVol]

Just gotta settle in

 

[calban]

Good test so far. Watch the maturity take over now.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

Okpara gotta get mentally better ASAP.

Needs to get physically better too lol. He is a pushover and around the rim offensively he’s terrible

 

[TheDirector]

Might be a blowout

Gonna be hard to blow them out on their floor but you never know..............

 

[chuckb1448]

L
Plenty of time, gotta settle in and Play Together

 

[BigOrangeFanatic]

Okpara is not an offensive threat whatsoever. He got worked on the defensive end last game. He's got to find a way to not let the happen again because defense is about all he brings.

 

[Ernest T. Vol]

Phillips with 2 rebounds already and a pass deflection.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Igor shot nearly 38% from 3 last year at Charlotte. He’s only 32% so far. Really need him to get that stroke back.

 

[KnoxtotheBoro20]

It seems Okpara was a major weak link while he was out there. We are starting to get settled.

Been saying it every game this year. He has been playing timid. Dont know if his strength is ready for this level of minutes yet, but I just notice him not playing hard every possession. We all know he can do it, which makes it very frustrating

 

[Sudden Impact]

Just have to settle in, we are the hunted and takes time to get use to that mentality. Officials letting them play so tighten up. Adjustments will be made and Barnes knows what he is doing...
