ABOUT PRESBYTERIAN

• Founded in 1880 and located in Clinton, South Carolina, Presbyterian College is a member of the Big South Conference.
• Presbyterian is coached by Quinton Ferrell, who is in his third season as head coach after having previously served as an assistant on the Blue Hose's staff from 2007-12.
• Presbyterian enters Tuesday's game against Tennessee coming off of winning the University of New Orleans Classic title, as the Blue Hose went 3-0 in New Orleans with wins over VMI, New Orleans and Central Arkansas.
• The Blue Hose's two losses this season have come at the hands of major conference teams—at Clemson on Nov. 9 and at Cincinnati on Nov. 18.
• Sophomore guard Rayshon Harrison leads Presbyterian in scoring (21.3 ppg) and assists (2.4 apg) and is second on the team in rebounds (5.4 rpg).
• Through the games of Nov. 27, Harrison's 21.3 points per game are tied for 16th in Division I.
• The 2021 Big South Freshman of the Year, Harrison was named Preseason All-Big South First Team in a vote by the league's head coaches and a media panel. As a freshman in 2020-21, Harrison was the third highest scoring freshman in the nation, averaging a team-leading 17.3 points per game.
• Presbyterian's 16.3 offensive rebounds per game this season rank third in all of Division I.
• Tennessee and Presbyterian are meeting for the fourth time ever and third time during the Rick Barnes era. The Vols have won the two meetings under Barnes by an average of 37.5 points per game.

Another Developent Game for Barnes and the Boys.

Priority #1 - Get the W.
#2 - Give just enough minutes to keep the more experienced starters sharp - 15-20 min each max for SV, ON, JF, VBJ.
#3 - Develop the young talent: KC, BHH at least 30 min each, ZZ and Powell - at least 20 minutes
#4 - Give some PT to Uros, Mashack, Aidoo to keep them involved.

Where’s Quentin? They burned his redshirt - seems like he needs to get more minutes. There are still a lot of inferior opponents on the December schedule though. I want to see Mashack get a lot more court time. If Jahmai turns into a contributor like 4 other newcomers, TN could be really good by March. QD and JM are going to be really important if JJJ sits until mid-January. Actually I’m not too optimistic with JJJ. If he has surgery or goes without, he’s going to be bothered with the bad thumb all season.

may get ugly. At least the rotation will probably be scaled back significantly.

Maybe if the staff is trying to figure out combinations for Colorado/Texas Tech. But I kind of lean toward expecting to see more minutes to QD and Jahmai in case JJJ will be out for the next month plus. Even if JJJ opts to play through his injury instead of having surgery, I think that at least one of Quentin or Mashack will need to help with depth. JJJ might struggle to go 25-30 minutes every game.

I bet that BHH continues to be fed the ball in half court.

I really hope to see BHH continue his breakout

Bhh 23 minutes 10 pts 12 boards

That’s huge rebounding production from 22 minutes but I agree that he’s capable. His ceiling is very high. Hope he has figured things out enough to be playing 25+ minutes come conference schedule.

Goal in these games is to get out to that big early lead and be able to play some guys who normally don’t get big minutes, big minutes. Didn’t do a great job of that last game, but would love to see us getting Zeigler, BHH, Powell, Mashack and even Aidoo some quality minutes.

Injury? What am I missing? I didn’t think he was injured. Thought he was out with an illness. What’s the injury?

JJJ has ligament or cartilage damage in his thumb and is deciding between having surgery and missing 6 weeks or trying to push through it. I hope that he gets the surgery if it really will be fixed in 6 weeks.

Lots of players had the flu including Powell.

James should get surgery to fix the ligament because we have enough depth to cover his minutes this season.

The walk ons should get some minutes tonight.
