The Official #22 Tennessee vs. #3 Kansas Game Thread, 7:30 PM, ESPN

[walkenvol]

Literally all we have to do is play with effort and take smart 3s and we can beat anyone.

We have to make those 3’s cause we’re just not effective in the paint

Not really, our perimeter shots didn’t fall against Colorado but have been going in better the last few games.

We won last night after shooting around 18% from 3. I’d say that shows an improvement in other areas.

oh good, another Rick Barnes salary post

I wasn’t the one who brought it up first but enjoy the win.

Two years in a row now Barnes has won a tournament.

 

[Kas232323]

The questions will soon come…are we better without JJJ. If we hold on they will come immediately after the game.

No. No. No.

No. No. No

No. No. No. got it?

Really impressive tournament with arguably our best player on the bench throughout. Looking forward to a fun season

How in the he$$ does that mistake occur and not corrected?

Like my dad used to say, “you want anything done right, you gotta do it your damn self!” Probably an intern programmer working the holiday weekend.

Just finished watching. Man I love how aggressive this team plays. Got some
big guys to disrupt and shooters to knock down shots. Fun to watch ZZ and SV go off. This could be a fun year if the kids can take tough coaching all the way to the tourney. Historically that has been a problem with CRB teams. Hopefully this year is different. They have the talent.

nor was I, as I explained earlier. It wasn't about his salary, it was a sarcastic comment about a player making the same mistake repeatedly. You're making junk up and coming back after a win bringing up something I never said. I would've said it if he made $75k, because it wasn't about the salary. You're not going to find stuff about me complaining about Barnes or his salary, it was a tongue in cheek comment you ran with to use how you wnated to so you all could complain about people complaining about his salary, which I haven't even seen in this thread.

Do you think we we’re getting effective looks from 10’ in tonight as I don’t. Mashack and Phillips will drive but neither are highly effective in traffic. Phillips has a knack for drawing fouls

Are you sure about that? Check last nights box score please.

If we take smart ones we will.

Classless KU fans!

Truly tacky, tasteless...typical for corn-shuckers. Our "Rocky Top" trumps your lame Rock-chalk foolishness.

 

[hUTch2002]

No. No. No.

No. No. No

No. No. No. got it?

I agree. I just figure someone will ask. Maybe not though.

 

[orange beard]

well it looks like tonight our young guys grew up

 

[The Tall Gguy]

We snapped their winning streak going back to there conference tournament last season

 

[RavinDave]

Are you sure about that? Check last nights box score please.

I saw that right after I made my post.

Ridiculous sloppy turnover fest in the first half, still jacking up crazy 3s, but still a GREAT win, even without JJJ. Really excited to see what these guys will do when he gets back on the floor.

This team is playing completely different on offense. We shot over half of our shots in the Colorado game from 3. Afterwards, Barnes completely changed the team's offensive approach and since that game we have been running our offense more towards the basket and not just throwing up huge numbers of 3's.

 

[top5vols]

Great win!

With a win against #3 Kansas and B4A Championship, The NCAA Tournament Committee now has us firmly as a 9 seed.

The dub here has me thinking about pulling the trigger on the Maui Invitational next year. Looked like a good Tennessee crowd there and an awesome site for it all.

We will get another chance to slap around Kansas and Gonzaga.
