Butler getting foul try with short bench

 

[SGMVols]

Gotta say I'm liking the lineup with Mashack and Phillips. Length and athleticism galore.

If we’re not going to make any threes might as well put the best athletes out there.

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

Hey, at least we haven’t shot 20 of them like usual.

Because Bailey transferred.

 

[hUTch2002]

Because Bailey transferred.

We jacked tons of them against Colorado.

 

[patrick]

No shooters. No post presence. No penetration. But defense is decent.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Mashack and Phillips have to play a lot especially if James is out. They are big time athletes that can create a little.

The most athletic players on this team and it’s not particularly close. They are freaks.

 

[SlyStone]

By SEC play Mashack will likely be starting if not getting more mins than a starter.

 

[sechamp2012]

Boom

 

[VolsSportsFan]

Wow, we actually end the half with finally hitting a 3.

 

[GBO18]

We finally made one. Nice shot ZZ

 

[Creeker]

We wanted to wait for a dramatic moment to make our first 3 was all.

 

[Vol737]

Nice 3 ZZZ.

 

[bigdaddy]

Ziggy

 

[MoCo_Vol]

ZZ closed that half out strong as hell!

 

[Volprofch05]

There’s a 3-ball!

 

[Ernest T. Vol]

Going in the paint and getting to the line is the difference.

 

[ttocswob]

ZZ Top!!!

 

[VolunteerCeltic]

Ugly lead, but we will take it

 

[firestorm]

5 point lead for the orange Volunteers

 

[GBO18]

Please blow them out in the 2nd half.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Well…..to play that bad and still be up by 5 is nice.

 

[Jax_Vol]

Boom!

We got us a Final-4 team here this year!

 

[volz2wallz]

Zig bomb...booom!! GBO!!!

 

[amaralfan1]

When was the last time we finished off a half like that? That was fantastic!

 

[hUTch2002]

I know it worked out but we wait too long to start our offense in rose situations. We should be starting with about 9 seconds left but we always wait until 5-6.
