If BHH doesn’t start the rest of the way my god..

He won’t and Barnes said why. Practice effort.

 

[1985Vols]

I like BHH, I'm hoping something clicks for him

Got to get some PT and maybe by March it will

 

[chuckb1448]

I’ve almost seen enough from BHH just in the past few trips to say he should just be starting and try to bring him along. Only chance we have at developing someone on this team who can score in the paint.

They way Fulk has been playing BHH should be starting

 

[TheMookieMonster]

I don't even have the energy to be mad any more. I've gotten pretty upset with how we've played lately, but I'm just tired and sad. We just are who we are at this point, and I don't want to keep getting worked up over this team,

 

[JRVOL11]

He won’t and Barnes said why. Practice effort.

Some guys are just gamers instead. He has to just play him

 

[BreatheUT]

That’s Barnes MO. DJ Burns and Walker could both help this team and they transferred

Those were subpar talents compared to BHH. BHH needs to work harder but this team can't afford to bench good players in the post.

He will either start or play a ton next game, but won’t do as well as we hope or won’t do enough for Barnes and you’ll see his minutes creep down again.

 

[golfballs]

Fulkerson needs to be coming off the bench the rest of the year

This kind of matchup has always been bad for him even when he’s been at his best, but he’s got to be better.

 

[Switch 625]

#2 defense.........yeah, right

Well, they definitely look like a #2 today

Joshua Dobbs

 

[alvinkamara]

Fulky is a YMCA player at best

 

[landscapingvol]

Lazy BHH in there getting more rebounds and pts than Fulky in first minute on the floor.

Guys you just don’t understand the nuances of the game to expect a 5th year senior to actually look competent on the floor and the obligatory he hustles

 

[chuckiepoo]

He won’t and Barnes said why. Practice effort.

…that and he can’t catch the ball in the paint.

 

[CJBlaze]

BHH and Mashack should be getting a lot more minutes

 

[Ernest T. Vol]

Joshua Dobbs

Big Doug

Walker and Burns having good seasons at other schools. They are both better than anything we have in the post at this point

 

[tnvols72]

He won’t and Barnes said why. Practice effort.

that could be said about any player. JJJ gets more minutes than anybody and he sucks. JJJ would be getting mop up minutes at LSU,AU or Ky.

 

[BreatheUT]

Recruiting misses by Barnes (Smith & Banchero) contributes to the lack of BIGS on this team.

Means you better start casting a bigger recruiting tent.

 

[1985Vols]

This kind of matchup has always been bad for him even when he’s been at his best, but he’s got to be better.

Fulky should retire

 

[mr.checkerboards]

And He makes Free Throws. My goodness

 

[gainesvol82]

LOL!! That's not how it works for Tennessee. Have you been a fan long? We get 1 good shooting performance to balance out 5 bad ones. We just wasted our good one.

Probably right but you never know. 35% from 3 and 45% from 2 will win against most teams if we play our typical defense.

 

[TrippieRedd]

Walker and Burns having good seasons at other schools. They are both better than anything we have in the post at this point

Corey Walker is averaging 2 points a game this season

 

[SpendToWinVol]

Fulkerson: 0 points 0 rebounds
6th year senior and starter against the biggest rival team in basketball

Can’t begin to say how disappointing he’s been ever since his freshman season

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Um Brandon, you cant do that.

Yep, and almost had Walker Kessler from the Portal. Of course Pearl got him too.
