Zakai came to play

Bump

 

[IndianapolisVol]

This basketball sucks

 

[chuckiepoo]

Splash!

 

[Voljayton]

ZZ is on! See this is what we need. When our main scorers are off, our other guys pick it up. Great job Vols!

 

[Christian Lowe]

Ziegler’s shot always looks so unnatural. I get he needs the arch because he’s so short, but it always looks like he’s about to miss by 3 feet until it goes in on tv lol

 

[Vol49er]

Josiah at the 4 is such a weapon man. Loving how he’s running the break this game

 

[chuckiepoo]

This basketball sucks

…really.

 

[RAVOL]

Much better ball movement but you have to hit shots and we have these last few minutes. In CHRIST Alone

 

[Caz]

ZZ finding his mojo! He and Mashack getting it done..but damn SV find your stroke!

 

[VolArmy74]

Just want to note that the moment Mashack came in this game the defensive intensity completely shifted for us. Lead by example. Horne with 0 points since Mashack hit the court.

I'm hoping he usurps more and more Gainey minutes. He's better in all aspects.

 

[KTrain]

NC State in their heels. This pace has already got to their legs Air ball

 

[volz2wallz]

Zig!! Booooom! Let's go!! GBO

 

[ColinS]

The Spaulding ball is now killing NC State. It appears to favor the team with the best shot selection. Go figure

 

[omghulkhands]

When they changed the dress code for coaches, Barnes was like “I ain’t ever wearing a suit jacket ever again”

 

[Berry4Heisman14]

How has burns been at NC State? He doesn’t even seem like a D1 player and he’s in bad shape? I can’t remember what happened here

This. Game shifted when mashack came in

It’s a huge benefit. Can’t be overstated

 

[tnvols72]

Ever shot is a 3

Santi has a bad attitude this year. You can see it his facial expressions. Guy wears his heart on his sleeve. Something is up. Hope he figures it out in time for conference play!

 

[TheBigOne10]

WTF is Aidoo doing

 

[Voljayton]

I know Aidoo can shoot the 3 but man I hate when he does it.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Close the half out strong, don’t let them make a run.

 

[Vol49er]

Credit to Barnes, don’t think he’d have leaned into playing JJJ as a 4/5 pretty much full time when he started coaching here

 

[Vols All Day]

Just want to note that the moment Mashack came in this game the defensive intensity completely shifted for us. Lead by example. Horne with 0 points since Mashack hit the court.

If SV don't get back to himself, Barnes might need to look at starting Mashack in place of SV.

He’s certainly no Wayne chism
