The Official #11 Tennessee vs. Montana Game Thread, 7:00 PM ET, SEC Network+

For those who may be interested, Lakers-Grizzlies game tonight at 10pm ET on ESPN.

Very interested, but I hope I don’t stay up for another hour.

I will watch for a minute to see if the Knecht and Edey matchup gets mentioned.

I approve of Snickers. And Paydays. But M & Ms and Hershey Bars need to be plain.

Some have given me grief for opting for the plain Hershey bar, but I like them for sure. No joke, that is usually my go-to if I'm feeling like a candy bar. I hear Snickers are awesome; def wish I could enjoy them.

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

Any DD sighting tonight.

I’ve only seen Dolly at UT football games.

 

[Special Ed]

I like my M&Ms and Hershey bars like I like my squirrels; with nuts.

 

[Kas232323]

I wanna see him against a quality big before I’m ready to go all the way there. But I agree he fits a role we’ve been missing

Ballo didn’t meet that requirement?

 

[Lukusw]

At first glance, I thought this was one of those AI photos and they forgot to add in the rest of his arm

I didn’t get to see the IU game. Did he look way stronger than Aidoo and Awaka in that one?

 

[ColinS]

I hope this was considered the first official visit for Money Williams

 

[njvols]

Not sure how many minutes Zeigler finished with, but no complaints from me tonight minus the sloppy play in the 1st half. Took care of business, and distributed some PT - exactly what I wanted personally.

quite a few dishes at the rim tonight...sweet

 

[njvols]

Really like the makeup of this team so far. Also think it’s probably safe to say Boswell won’t be redshirting.

Would be awesome if he was just solid for 6-8 minutes per. But it’s way too early for all that

May get deeper into rotations this year w/o DK absorbing so much of the scoring load. We look like we could legitimately run 10 deep if all goes well.

 

[I4Vols]

Okay.

Another honest question, where do you rank Snickers in the hierarchy of candy bars? I ask because I am one of those freaks who is allergic to peanuts.

Sorry you have the allergic reaction, but, as a kid growing up in Tennessee, I can say you haven't eaten a candy bar till you've had a frozen Zero bar.

 

[Volfan1000]

Milicic had a hell of a game with a double double and 5 dimes.

Johnson might be the best player that Tennessee faces this season with his 30 point effort.

Good to see Carr score 12 tonight.

 

[Namorto1]

That was a ridiculously efficient offensive stat line tonight. Pretty rare for an entire team to shoot over 60% from the field. Very happy to see both Milicic and Carr get some buckets.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Just finished watching a replay after work. Rocky first half, mostly due to foul trouble, but an elite 2nd half performance. Offense continues to look much better than I expected it to this early in the season.

We took much better care of the basketball. Lob city!!! Igor finally had a big night. Great minutes from Cam Carr. Best he has looked in his short career. Boswell with some big minutes. Lanier continuing to be the sharpshooter we need him to be. Promising game. Looking forward to Sunday and counting to watch this team grow.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Oh, and one other thing, that Money Williams kid is a monster. Hope Barnes shook his hand and gave him Knecht’s phone number lol. He needs to wear orange next year. If not for that kid, we may win by 60. He was unstoppable.

 

[omghulkhands]

I hope this was considered the first official visit for Money Williams

Haha. Would like to see what he could become if he got in better shape. Our S&C program could do wonders for him

 

[TrippieRedd]

The way Volnation helped out ZZ, I bet we could help out his family.

Move them all to Knoxville.

Don't underestimate Austin Peay. They beat a Big East team in Butler and just beat the Mocs of Chattanooga. Vols should win but don't overlook the Govs. They could be good this year. Austin Peay beat Cuonzo Martin's Vols (I think) a few years ago...and they have upset potential.

They also got a player with only one arm, Hansel Enmanuel averaging 5 PTS & 6 REB. The fact he’s producing at the D-I mid-major level is a phenomenal feat in of itself.

 

[VOLINVONORE]

5 assists. Zero turnovers.

His best game this year. I see a lot of potential for him. Aggressive on both sides of the ball and had a steal, blocked shot and some rebounds.

Yeah, that boy was money.

These early games are now part tryouts for mid major players to go after in spring.

We seem to think this every preseason but come conference play it’s mainly a 7-8 man rotation with one or two other guys getting under 5 minutes

 

[walkenvol]

Williams is 6-4” 200 lbs. Unless this game was an aborition, no way he’s at Montana next season. Hey Spyre - get a head start on this one!
