The Official #12 Tennessee vs. Cincinnati Game Thread, 12:30 PM ET, SEC Network Alt

Why would he even throw it to Olivier there?

Exactly. That ones on the passer

 

[PulaskiVolFan]

This is the style Cincinnati likes to play. Unfortunately for them we are as good as anyone in the country at playing ugly winning basketball games. Looks like today could be both Freshman's coming out party, we're going to need them to win this one with Fulky, JJJ and Vescovi a no show to this point.

 

[Roustabout]

Laniers absence is being felt on the offensive end. This team is painful to watch. Do they run any set plays? Any ball screen offense?

 

[Power T-Rev]

1 1/2 games and the sky is falling...lol.

Knee jerk reactions abound

 

[1985Vols]

Pons and Fulky are huge disappointments right now

If they get in their groove, we would be hard to stop. It will happen

 

[Sudden Impact]

On the bright side. We are only down 2 despite our offense not showing up yet today.

It will come....got to love the defense.

 

[Freak]

3s ? Not his game

What? Who? I was just saying the team needs to knock down our shots. We've gotten some good looks that just haven't dropped.

I think we'll settle down.

 

[VolArmy74]

I know we don't run a lot of plays. But maybe try and run a few in a row for Fulkerson in the post. Maybe he can get something down or at least hit an open guy. Vescovi and Bailey need to shoot more too.

 

[ndubvols]

Getting good looks. Just gotta put the ball in the hole.

 

[TennesseeFan07]

This is tough to watch - Both ways.

 

[Creeker]

It will come....got to love the defense.

Defense looks solid. Offense should continue to improve the more games we get under our belt. Hopefully, it improves enough today to pull out a win.

 

[VolunteerVandiver]

Bunch of people in here clearly don't understand how basketball works. Offensive slumps are a commonplace; fortunately, great defenses will keep you games.

Shots will start to fall, ya bunch of sissies.

 

[tnvols72]

sloppy

 

[whodeycin85]

Knee jerk reactions abound

I get it in the FF, Barnes has proven himself tho...so reason other than BVS to freak out

 

[Vol49er]

Oof. That was an ugly sequence

 

[I4Vols]

Offence isnt flowing, too many quick shots early in shot clock

This men's play is remarkably similar to Lady Vols where Davis is not impacting, lots of new faces, and lots of subbing to find a combo

 

[zjcvols]

I know it’s been a weird offseason, but this team looks all kinds of lost on offense, which is honestly mind-blowing knowing how much talent is on this team.

I’m not sure what the issue is but at least the defense has been good.

Am I allowed do a long new thread about Barnes needing to ditch the 90’s style motion offense? Lol

 

[VolArmy74]

There we go. In to Fulky, out to Vescovi. It works.

 

[TheBigOne10]

Hahahahaha wow

 

[Power T-Rev]

Am I allowed do a long new threat about Barnes needing to ditch the 90’s style motion offense? Lol

No

 

[1985Vols]

Fulky playing like a freshman right now

 

[YankeeVol]

Vescovi!

 

[Rickyvol77]

Fulkerson has been awful at ball handling this season again

 

[Creeker]

25 is such a liability for Cincy lol

 

[1985Vols]

Inside out works every time
