I'm no hoops mastermind, so can someone explain our offensive scheme tonight?

Spray and pray.

 

[ttocswob]

66-60 Vols survive a ragged night.

 

[patrick]

Lucky lucky lucky. It was ugly but a W nonetheless.

 

[utkCREW]

Ugh we won.

 

[DocVOLiday]

We had them right where we wanted them the whole time

 

[HoptownVol]

We won? Am I dreaming? LOL

 

[tnvols72]

a win is a win but they got a lot of work to do

 

[kell7517]

Winning despite the coaching. Hey, I’ll give credit to Barnes for a lot but his game day coaching leaves a lot to be desired. We have absolutely zero offensive identity and I think if you watch the body of work, this is a consistent theme year after year.

I can agree on the Offensive Identity. We just don’t have a dominant big man and haven’t for awhile. So we chuck it more from the 3 than I desire. But when we make them we look unstoppable. But when we don’t we look bad, very bad.

 

[Bigorange123]

I knew it, Vols win.

 

[87&91ALUM]

That’s the game. We prevail. Nice birthday present. Crazy game. Vols gotta work harder.

 

[volmoon]

Ugly but sweet

 

[1985Vols]

Pulled that one out of our azz

 

[Volprofch05]

Was in the bag the whole time, don’t know what y’all are worried about

 

[Memphisvol87]

Survived. A lot to work on and criticize fairly. But a win is never a bad ending

 

[walkenvol]

If there was ever a win that feels like a loss, this was it!

 

[Jravol78]

better than alternative

 

[YankeeVol]

We actually won an ugly game!

 

[volsforever27]

What an ugly game. I'll take a win but that offense against an undermanned team is worrying.

Barnes deserves credit for developing players but his schemes leave a lot to be desired.

 

[conredge]

Somebody had to lose.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

We won.

That's it.

 

[Caz]

It’s a W, but heaven knows we have tons of work that needs to be done. Just hope we peak sometime soon or just improve

 

[calban]

Come on Sep 3 2022.

 

[volmoon]

Well both have a combine of like 50 turnovers!!

 

[casetopia]

Vb a nonfactor now.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Hug my nuts. I'm not happy with this performance, but I still want a win. Maybe you prefer a "L" ?

Nope. I'd like for people to actually acknowledge Barnes short comings and that with the talent he has, he leaves a lot to be desired
