Some harsh words from Rick about the front court during that interview.

Not sure what he’s referring to lmao. We gave up 5 3s and 15 points the whole half. Only a couple of those were open shots

 

[RAVOL]

Well quick 6-0 lead for mounts but fizzled badly the rest of the way. Double D getting it done on Offense. I believe we will see a quick 10 point spurt to start 2nd hopefully getting inside for some easy buckets. In CHRIST Alone

I was half paying attention…did he say Dubar is the only one on the frontcourt who has given us anything and the rest haven’t given us anything?

He’s not referring to the defense. He’s talking about how Dubar is the only front court player on offense doing what we want, which is being aggressive around the rim.

 

[Anti-shunshinepumper]

Man if Estrella wasn’t hurt this team woulda been super tough for any team. Might still be…

I hate it he is

If only Z and Igor can find their shot

I don't what's up with Igor. I thought the D may be exhausting him but he's missing early, too. Hopefully he finds his shot before SEC play

Yes. Don’t think he’s referring to defense though. Just how they are playing on offense.

Yeah, that’s how I interpreted it. I thought Okpara and Dubar gave us some inside scoring. Maybe he’s referring to Igor and Cade?

 

[Ernest T. Vol]

W. Carolina 5 for 37.

I hate it he is hurt but if we had to lose someone it could be worse.

igor had one bad game. He’s not played much this game to be honest.

 

[NighthawkVol]

Well…I guess that answers the question about position with him (to the extent any remained). Barnes considers him a frontcourt player, so he’s a 4, not a 3.

 

[omghulkhands]

ZZ could have a triple double if he could hit some shots

 

[TooLegit2Quit]

They need to get ZZ that triple double.

 

[therealitytheory]

Wishing Millicic can see a few go through the hoop.

 

[Anti-shunshinepumper]

Zz is Siberia cold

 

[Raiford62]

I really like Dubar and I am telling you he has some skills and he will rebound. He is going to get increased minutes and he deserves them. Zeigler needs to quit jacking up 3s. I have not problem with him shooting them but please be more selective. I hate it when he dribbles around and then has to shoot the 3. But I do like this team..

 

[VolsSportsFan]

Millicic and Okpara have to get better around the rim.

 

[87&91ALUM]

Somebody jinx these rims at halftime?

 

[87&91ALUM]

38-15

 

[87&91ALUM]

41-17...jinx broke

 

[BigOrangeFanatic]

Man. Milicic has to become more of an offensive threat if we want to win the SEC. He just hasn't been consistent enough.

Idk, you just seen another hairball. Something is off with his shooting. Good thing he is getting us a lot of rebounds and made that awesome steal and score against Illinois
