The Official #12 Tennessee vs. Gardner-Webb Game Thread, 7:00 PM ET, SEC Network+

Igor also has 4 points, that one foul on the block was BS. But he sat with 2, so he was looking good offensively hopefully keeps that up in 2nd half.

 

[Chaz-Vol]

The inside offensive game is definitely a work in progress with Igor, Okpara, Cade, and JP.

 

[PEPPERJAX]

The halftime show with the bird was dumb.

 

[GUNTERSVOL]

I have a lot of tv apps but can't find espn+ on any of them. Is there another way to watch this game?

You on Comcast? If so I can help you out!

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

GW has 5 players with 2 fouls. M & M each have 2 for TN.

 

[Clad in Big Orange]

Okpara will be fine if he can draw fouls. Aidoo couldn’t and Awaka wasn’t a great FT shooter.

Okpara needs a lot of work for a junior. He looks like a freshman tonight.

I think he only averaged 2.4 points a game so we knew we weren’t getting an offensive player. The interior is a huge concern.

yeah their bigs are really playing physical, probably gonna have a couple foul out if they keep it up

So far he has brick hands. Similar to Aidoo. He definitely is more physical which is an upgrade and he will get some garbage buckets here and there because of it. But as far as posting him up and throwing it inside to him to score cannot be something we do a whole lot of. Igor appears to be more of a guy that can score from the inside out, but he has to stay out of foul trouble.

Lol at the commentators saying we looked sharp on the defensive end of the court. Surely they don’t believe that.

A couple of quick fouls on GW could change the look of this one really quick.

2x 5 foot air balls in one possession isn’t a good look. Weird though that he’s not a bad FT shooter.

 

[D3Athlete]

Hopefully see better defensive rebounding this half

Well they are both employed by UT in other aspects of life…lol

 

[TheMookieMonster]

That center for GW has Okpara locked up. He’s eating his lunch on defense.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Igor with the first 4, he’s gonna be good for us.

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

That’s now 6 GW players with 2 fouls each.

 

[The Vin Man]

Okpara’s shooting should be limited to dunks only

Try the ESPN app then search SECN+

Seems to be solid player…

 

[Chattahooligan]

Okpara will break out this season, I’m gonna be patient with him, he has showed glimpses of a threat. I’m just glad he isn’t a wet noodle like Aidoo was

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Lol I’m not so sure Ziegler didn’t punch that dude in the face on that drive just now.

 

[volplaya8]

Strong take ZZ…that what we love to see!

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

Every single time Andy starts to speak he smacks his lips and it's infuriating.... My lord I know UT officials hear it also.

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

Just gonna mute this crap... My lord

 

[SouthKnoxVOL]

Ticky tack fouls
