[therealitytheory]

Can't believe what I'm watching.

 

[UTK]

You said it , you haven’t got to watch . This team is horrible . Ain’t got much hope for them

Is the team horrible or did they have a horrible game? Lol I think it’s too early to tell homeslice.

 

[VolunteerCeltic]

Defense is not aggressive at all

 

[tnvols72]

Adoo needs Nkamhoua minutes

 

[Putbacks]

Porous as hell on defense

 

[Tenacjim]

will they even be able to outscore the FB team team this weekend? Maybe Milton should join the team? He could drive to the hole!

 

[Chris4Vols22]

Can't believe SV is 1-12

Look at his last few games from last season. Not terrible, but 1st team All-SEC???

 

[SouthKnoxVol70]

Oh they are horrible ..

 

[zaqhhh]

This will be our 2nd straight game against bad competition shooting less than 32% from 3

That’s a game plan issue from Barnes

 

[DooleyOrangePants]

Barnes needs to re-evaluate what he sees in practice. If we can’t shoot from the perimeter we are lost. Disappointed in lack of leadership from the veterans for this effort. Only one game but a lot to be concerned with.

It’s not just the poor shooting, it’s practically everything else. Two games where there hasn’t been a lot of positives to take away from this team to start the season.

Maybe they will grow from this and find that identity, buts absolutely uncalled for to give Colorado a game like this. Improvement needs to be made from the Coaches down to the ball boys.

 

[VOLinAL]

If we are able to out athlete teams, we need to do it. Let the athletes just create. This team is always worrying about moving the ball to a shooter outside. DRIVE the ball.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Can't believe what I'm watching.

I can, Barnes is still on the sideline last time I checked.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

If we're going to hit 3s be better hurry.

 

[Creeker]

Key and James have honestly been the only two we have that looked like they belonged on the floor today.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Y’all have to stop treating basketball like football. One loss isn’t the end of the world. A lot of time left to get right.

It’s less about our record being 1-1 than what I’m watching. Colorado is not a good team. And the most concerning thing is just how one-dimensional we continue to look on offense. If the 3 isn’t falling, we look to have no idea how to run offense. That’s a long-term concern outside of just one bad shooting performance.

 

[tnvols72]

lol JJJ

 

[sechamp2012]

Dasilva & Simpson are playing a good game. Don’t see how Grambling beat themOne of worst D1 eams

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

Lol Olivier getting burned

 

[GiveHim6InSC]

Sounds like they need to be locked out of the player area at TBA like Coach Summitt did.

 

[VolunteerCeltic]

Too many layups, unable to stop ball.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Very nice of this team to start playing with urgency when the game is over.

 

[InVOLuntary]

I don't think Barnes cares all that much about these early games. He uses them as coaching aids. It's not the end of the world. We'll be ok.

 

[Vols0311usmc]

Colorado isn’t good. It’s basically a home game. It’s not an overreaction.

But it is

 

[mr.checkerboards]

It’s less about our record being 1-1 than what I’m watching. Colorado is not a good team. And the most concerning thing is just how one-dimensional we continue to look on offense. If the 3 isn’t falling, we look to have no idea how to run offense. That’s a long-term concern outside of just one bad shooting performance.

And the defense is awful. Switches and rotations are late.

 

[YankeeVol]

Foul this early?
