The Official #11 Tennessee vs. #2 Gonzaga Preseason Game Thread, 9:00 PM ET, PPV

This is exactly what you want to see out of your lead guard play.

 

[MinisterofDef#92]

it looks like Few was impressed.

He should be...we went shot-for-shot with them the 1st half and then raised our level of play (especially defensive intensity) and just wore them out in the 2nd half.

Plavsic on Timme is gonna be a long night, lol.

Nailed it!

 

[therickbol]

In 7 minutes Awaka has 4 points & 3 rebounds. He is gonna be something special.

He is an elite rebounder. He is aggressive finishing when his guards create dunk opportunities. Best if we don't overdoo expectations though. He has a long ways to go with his offensive skillset.

He’s already strong as hell and big, a few years in our S&C program to get more explosive and he’s gonna be something special.

Nailed it!

Actually, yes.

 

[VOLnMiami]

Here's the highlight video...We looked sharp!

 

[therickbol]

Actually, yes.

You did? That was a long night? Timme fouled out of a real game. And Uros more than held his own. Strange definition of long night. Unless you are a Gonzaga fan.

Nope.

Nope.

8-18 for Timme, 6-6 for Plav…that’s a win for Tennessee every day of the week.

I was only talking about Plavsic playing defense on him. He made us look silly in the first half. After he got the fouls he was bricking everything. Even tried to post Vescovi up and missed.

And can hit his FTs….and likes to read….don’t know about how well spoken he is,
looks like one of them quiet big guys ya don’t make angry…good p/u

 

[TrippieRedd]

Glad to see Plav have a nice game.

Finally got a chance to watch the highlights.

The ball movement on the perimeter hasn't missed a beat. It's scary to see how fluid they already look. Everybody was playing within the offense and creating for others.

Zakai and Aidoo seem like the most improved players. Zakai had moments last year where he tried to do too much - i don't think he displayed those tendencies once friday night. He's looking and playing like a senior point guard.

Nearly our whole rotation has the green light which is insane.

I see more future NBA players on this team than any team Barnes has had here. It's going to be a really fun season.

Timme's production would have been much less if it was a regular game.

 

[Mccage]

Somebody tell me who Key is

Just a little ole 1A player from Celina.
