ZZ that is a terrible shot come on man you’re a senior lol.

ZZ and 4 sophmores? WOW!

The ZZ + 4 sophomore lineup ain’t bad imo.

Eh, gotta live with those. But it was ugly lol. I'd rather him airball than not take the shot tbh

Quite the stark difference in performance for Okpara tonight.

Quite the stark difference in performance for Okpara tonight.

He is pretty bad…hopefully that changes

 

[volsarelife1]

I know it's early and just one half of the first game. So not wanting to overreact at all..... But man Okpara looks very rough out there. Like he's never played the game a day in his life rough

 

[knoxchief]

Finally got it. Had to call my Grandson who knows all this app bs. He got me there. Whoo hooo.

 

[TheBigOne10]

Goodness Felix….

 

[D3Athlete]

Quite the stark difference in performance for Okpara tonight.

Just needs to slow down. Rushing everything.

 

[Ernest T. Vol]

Lets see some more igor on offense. I dont know about Felix.

 

[TrippieRedd]

Cade and JP looked pretty good on the floor together.

I like that combo

Quite the stark difference in performance for Okpara tonight.

We were way better with JP in the game

His defense has a lot of a redeeming factor imo. I'm not sure how his season ultimately plays out, but I'd be surprised if he weren't an important piece.

Bad decision to try and force that ball down low to Okpara. He doesn’t have good hands, at least not tonight.

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

Bad pass by Chaz. Felix doesn’t need it thrown at his shins.

 

[JRVOL11]

lanier gotta shoot there

Hopefully….very early but trying to figure out how we are going to guard bigger, stronger post play in conference…very worried tbh

 

[TheMookieMonster]

34 points at the half for GW. Pretty terrible. Rick won’t be happy. Offense looks solid so far though.

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

Pathetic defense to end half

 

[JRVOL11]

defense hasn’t been good at all

 

[BigOrangeFanatic]

For this team to be good, Igor will have to stay out of foul trouble and be an offensive threat because Akpara is not that guy.

 

[SouthKnoxVOL]

Pretty sure that ball was still in his hand

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

34 points at the half for GW. Pretty terrible. Rick won’t be happy. Offense looks solid so far though.

Rick is gonna be pissed about the final 3 mins and especially that last basket

 

[TrippieRedd]

We will know a little more after Louisville and the tournament.

Gonna just enjoy these guys play tonight

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Yeah, JP & Cade will be contributing this year. Great to see. Just gotta get comfortable playing together, we have lots of depth.
