That's true. That's why shooting more could give him confidence. He's usually so wide open, he needs to take it. He's a good free throw shooter

I guess if he's shooting wide-open 15-footers, then it probably stands to reason he could afford to take a dribble and instead get an 8 to 10-footer, perhaps a foul call, or better yet, and open driving lane. He's getting thise wide-open looks because teams don't respect his shot, right now, nor should they.

Balled up fists. He should have jacked Dean’s jaw. He’d maybe be Dook’s coach right now if he did.

LOVE IT.

I get all that. Like his stroke. It comes in "soft".

i hope the long layoff doesn't hurt us shooting... maybe it was needed, who knows. But typically we don't shoot well after a long layoff

Well, we weren’t shooting very well BEFORE the long layoff. Maybe shooting practice helped….

Ouch! Wouldn't surprise me though. Marathon season. Early tough stretch. Syracuse, Purdue and Kansas in Hawaii, followed by UNC at CH

I think that Barnes secretly gets jacked up to coach (and win) against Duke or North Carolina since he never was mentioned in a coaching search at either school in his home state.

 

[bleedingTNorange]

He hasn't shot often enough

Nothing in those stats suggests he should “shoot more”

Ok. I don't just look at stats

Time for a little string music in Chapel Hill, NC.

Wrong thread

 

[K-town Vol Fan]

I want him to take open 10-15 footers

So do other teams we play.

I'm in

 

[SouthKnoxVOL]

Can't wait to see the disparity in foul shots tonight

 

[Smokey7]

Go Vols!
Go Heels! Favorite 2 basketball teams

 

[IndianapolisVol]

Time to lock in and get another quality W on the resume

 

[SlyStone]

Gotta owned the Boards tonight to get the Dub.

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

Bert is back on the radio broadcast. He was heading UNC to play for Dean Smith in 1976. Somehow Stu and Mears managed to get him to flip to UT. It didn’t hurt with his recruitment that his dad played for UT.

 

[Freak]

Awaka out tonight.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

I saw we just win by about 30.
