You’d be a tough coach to play for - 100% success rate or else!

Looks like they heard me. 17-2 run. I was taught to go for the best. Thank you Dad!

Way to lock up on defense!

 

[Creeker]

Glad to see Bailey have a good shooting night. Still would rather see more Powell but maybe it gets Bailey going. Our guards as a whole are having a good night.

 

[Larkin]

Hell i am 4-4

I believe it

I think Barnes is giving Plas every opportunity to earn some minutes because ORN hasn't separated himself. We need a post presence with some of the post depth other teams have in this league.

Wonder why he’s not trying to get BHH comfortable in the post instead? He’s much more agile than Uros

STOP SHOOTING BAILEY BEFORE MY DRUNK ASS TACKLES YOU

Possibly don't want to put as much pressure on him? He doesn't seem as mature physically as the guards.

I’ve wondered the same thing. I would’ve given bhh 25 minutes tonight. Obviously he could still do that but thought he’d play more in the first

Maybe because he’s a freshman? Wild guess

This is a no Brainer. Get this kid ready for SEC play.

I wish he'd gotten more than 6 minutes, freshman or no. BHH being as tested as possible should pay off far more than any experiments with Uros at this point. His ceiling is likely lower than BHH's floor.

 

[Larkin]

I’m liking the 2 man game w fulky and Santi

 

[BreatheUT]

Part of it but I think it's a physical maturity issue. Some guys you can blow their confidence if you ask too much too soon. You see the opposite with Chandler and Zeigler. Didn't he miss his senior year too? I might be mistaken.

Agreed but Barnes is giving him what he gets for a reason. We just don’t know what it is

 

[1985Vols]

Just don’t understand Barnes love affair with Bailey.Powell is so much better

 

[Voltopia]

I'm happy Tennessee is on cruise control to a W but this is one of the most obviously lopsided matchups I think I can recall in recent memory. Feels like UT is just kind of playing with their food tonight.

 

[walkenvol]

I got a fever and the only prescription is more Powell!

 

[JRVOL11]

We have the weakest big men.

 

[BreatheUT]

Bad inbounds play.

 

[walkenvol]

Rough outing for ON

 

[Larkin]

Powell def needs more minutes. He’s a solid bball player

 

[BreatheUT]

I'm starting to miss the high riser that could take the top off the rim in a game like this.

 

[Larkin]

Fulky done for the night?

 

[omghulkhands]

5 steals for Chandler is nuts
