The Official #17 Tennessee vs. #18 North Carolina Game Thread, 3:30 PM ET, ESPN

[Ernest T. Vol]

ZZ Top with 18

 

[GoVolunteers]

Was Ziegler highly recruited?

Not at all

 

[VolArmy74]

Was Ziegler highly recruited?

No. He's so short he got little love. Kids like him get over looked at times because they don't have the right measurables.

 

[SGMVols]

Was Ziegler highly recruited?

He wasn’t recruited at the D1 level at all until we offered

 

[MoCo_Vol]

It’s not like he’s inept on offense or makes boneheaded plays either. Was just really cold yesterday, along with the entire rest of the team.

Probably the Flu or whatever illness he’s out with today.

 

[johnfnkelly]

we’re going to be incredibly hard to defend when we have 3 capable point guards playing at the same time.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Yeah, there is absolutely no need for Bailey with ZZ and Powell

I am really hoping this game opened Rick’s eyes. We cannot have a 10-11 man rotation all year. ZZ and Powell have a ceiling much higher than Bailey. He needs to sit.

 

[Caz]

No. He's so short he got little love. Kids like him get over looked at times because they don't have the right measurables.

Calvin Murphy was 5’9 and could ball!!

 

[Vol49er]

Amazing what happens when you play the talented players

The potshots at Barnes are lame when we’re whipping UNC

 

[Willy14]

Yeah, there is absolutely no need for Bailey with ZZ and Powell

Our rotation should be KC, ZZ, Powell, Santi, JJJ, BHH, Fulk, ORN and then if foul trouble happens then it needs to be Masmack that comes in

 

[LucidZ]

Good to see Grant there cheering the guys on.

 

[1985Vols]

Probably the Flu or whatever illness he’s out with today.

Who?

 

[Creeker]

Has Bailey played this half?

 

[zjcvols]

Chandler
Santi
JJJ
BHH
Fulk

Zeiglar
Howell
ON

Uros if there is foul trouble or Aidoo if he gets healthier.

That’s the rotation. You can play some guys during the non conference portion if you want against the non P5 teams but those top 8 guys are the players.!

 

[TrippieRedd]

Like I said previously…ZZ is a stud.

Prob a terrible comparison, but for some reason he reminds me a lot of Melvin Goins.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Has Bailey played this half?

Nope, after he got pulled in the first half he hasnt been back in

 

[Voltopia]

No. He's so short he got little love. Kids like him get over looked at times because they don't have the right measurables.

Their loss. Size doesn’t matter when the ball’s in the hoop - thank the Gods.

 

[Bigorange123]

Get Ziggy with it

 

[VolFreakJosh]

The potshots at Barnes are lame when we’re whipping UNC

That’s what he does best

 

[Willy14]

Has Bailey played this half?

If he has then it was only a minute but I don't think so

 

[TrapVol]

Man, ZZ is far exceeding my expectations. I don’t expect him to do this every game, but it’s clear that he is a player. Even better for us, he should be here awhile because of his height.

 

[TheMagnificantOne]

Still don't agree with the team being better without JJJ in the lineup. You don't really need points from him with a lineup like Z, Chandler, Santi, JJJ, Fulk. He plays good D, gets rebounds, and assists. Got more than enough firepower in that lineup.

The tape don't lie...

 

[mr.checkerboards]

70% shooting, thats kinda good

 

[cobbwebb0710]

Mugsy Zeigler, straight ballin today!
GBO!!

 

[Jravol78]

What a doucher
