Rick better force this team to stay late after this game and not allow them to leave until they have made 1000 free throws each. Good god….

Just looked at the stat line and have not been following the game til now. How on earth can you play at this level and hit 53% FTs?

Dominating sleepwalking game. We shot well from the field and deep. FTs were bad but wasn’t needed.

Aidoo had himself a game ya gotta think he’s gonna get more minutes than Uros by end of the season, just seems so much more active.

We held them to 28% from the field (!), while also forcing 24 turnovers. Really liked what Aidoo brought tonight. Nkamhoua also got into a groove after a rough start. Good team win, this defense just keeps getting better it feels like.

Aidoo has a lot of room to improve too, with his size. Excited about his future as a 4 year player

He already gets more minutes than him. Uros is only averaging 12 a game, Aidoo is averaging 17ish. Nkamhoua takes essentially the rest of the minutes at center.

Didn’t get to watch the game tonight, but man reading this thread makes me think we lost by 15😂 but I do understand some of the valid concerns

Key has really struggled so far this season. He went off during the Gonzaga exhibition and then I haven’t seen him do much since….he’s missing wide open shots.

I think he is playing too passive on the offensive end. He is at his best using his bulk to get to basket and complementing with occasional perimeter shot. Playing PG is also an adjustment for him which may be contributing to his inconsistent offense.

Why aren’t we letting edwards try and run the offense some here? We really only got 2 true point guards on the team and one of them is edwards. Ziegler is still in running it. We’re up big, why not let him get some practice

Not calling you out, but using the opportunity to remind us all that, in every sport, guys down the chart get hours of practice every day. And unlike football, where QBs wear non-contact jerseys and only game experience reveals their running or escapability, the basketball coaching staff knows exactly what each player can and cannot do.

We will see Edwards as soon as he convinces the coaches that he's ready to help the team consistently. The comments on his defense sound encouraging!

Vols need to clean up free throw shooting issues and I think Aidoo could possibly become the all time blocks leader at Tennessee before his career is done.
