I can't believe they did that. Not sure if it's UT or the local radio's doing. I live in Kingsport

been a football fan for 50 years and have become almost apathetic towards it this year

Same here

 

[Creeker]

Shot an abysmal 32 percent from the field and 16 percent from deep and still pull out a win. Our offense is going to improve so that’s a good sign.

 

[Volfan2012]

We shoot 32 percent and 16 from the three and win by nine. This has proven to be an excellent defensive team. We have a lot to figure out on offense but right now looks like if we can get to 60 we win.

 

[Lankykong]

Way way too early to declare this but at least initially I have seen little improvement from James from last year. I really expected him to hit the next level and maybe he still will.

He had a good ~2 minute stretch where he was aggressive and showed flashes, but after the timeout, he looked slow going for the loose ball. Needs to keep attacking.

 

[TrippieRedd]

Winner!! Do you get a gift card?

I'm just happy I got close!! lol I don't care about the gift card tbh.

 

[esarmstrong]

Lol, we are 82% from FT line.

Where the game was won at the end.

 

[UTK]

Better than 1-4 aka Kentucky lol

I live in Memphis and didn’t even get the basketball game on radio. We have an AM and FM channel too. Never seen that happen.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

2-0 is 2-0. A lot to work on but at least now we have a few tune up games to get some chemistry and to start making shots.

Now that all the Tennessee athletic events are done for the day, time to go be productive.

 

[PulaskiVolFan]

I think the line was 7 or 8.

The folks that set those lines are incredible. I wonder how much $$$ they earn a year?

 

[VOLnMiami]

How about dem basketVOLS!...Great win!...Made me nervous tho lol...Young team is getting better...I love the fact they know how to finish a game...Good coaching!...Wish our football team knew how to do that.

 

[VolArmy74]

Is cincy good? It is so hard to tell because of our poor offense play

They beat us by 12 last year, won 20 games before the season was shut down and are the defending AAC champions. Keith Williams is a first team All-Conference player. They are a solid team.

 

[VolFreakJosh]

We beat two likely tournament teams.

We’ll be fine.

 

[Freak]

Final box.



Springer was +10 and finished second in scoring with 11 points in 25 minutes. Fulkerson with a workmanlike 15 and 12.

 

[cobbwebb0710]

2 games were a good opponent has not reached 60 and we are still learning to play together on D bodes well this year. Offense will come around. In CHRIST Alone

I was just about to post that this may be one of, if not the lowest scoring output cincy has all season. This Is win #2 against 2 very solid squads!

You know damn well you're going to watch the football game, I think we all should be excited, if those kids are willing to try then so am I.

 

[Lankykong]

Fulkerson, Pons, and Springer looked significantly better today. JJJ and Bailey played a bit worse. Everyone else played about the same.

It’s still early in year . They haven’t had chance to get chemistry & to know guys tendencies. Due to practice shutdowns etc...Why we had some unforced TO’s by JJJ he’s not used to playing with Keon & Springer. It will come this is going to be a great deep team.
. hide & watch

 

[ColinS]

Is cincy good? It is so hard to tell because of our poor offense play

I think they will be a good team as soon as they learn not to shoot 3 pointers on every possession. Good on defense and good size. I think they make the tournament.

 

[VolsAgainstTheWorld15]

It wasn't pretty, and we were the recipient of a friendly whistle. That being said, we beat a solid team and made the plays late that we needed to make. We're gonna be just fine.

 

[VolunteerCeltic]

Good grind out win, need those to give freshmen some toughness

 

[VolFreakJosh]

Fulkerson, Pons, and Springer looked significantly better today. JJJ and Bailey played a bit worse. Everyone else played about the same.

Keon made some bone headed plays.

He’s learning to play the game at the college level.

He’ll continue to get better.

 

[ricepatty]

Good tough win. Now we have three cupcake teams to polish the offense.

 

[TrippieRedd]

Yo @PulaskiVolFan I didn't get the leading scorer, but Jaden did have the best +/- (+10). That count?
