Dude James is shooting from nba all night

James has that smooth confidence of an experienced player.

 

[W.TN.Orange Blood]

Anybody know what the score is? TIA.

 

[TrapVol]

Anybody know what the score is? TIA.

75 - 42, good guys

 

[Voljayton]

Wow what was that call?

 

[RockyTop140]

Another garbage call

 

[Larkin]

If we can get this out of Mashak on a regular basis, that would be huge for this team. Will help keep the energy up when a starter is out.

 

[Larkin]

49 fouls is gross

 

[Voljayton]

Go vols! Good win.

 

[87&91ALUM]

81-50 Vols...nice comeback! Keep it going!

 

[TrapVol]

Much better effort and focus tonight. A dominating win over a decent opponent. Makes me feel much better about Atlantis.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

81-50 final!

17 points off FTs or it would’ve been real ugly for FGCU.

Awaka had some good minutes, he knows how to post up well. Just gotta develop his hands and post moves.

 

[Lurker]

Way better!

 

[calban]

Amazing what energy, defense and a balanced scoring attack will do. Much better.

 

[vols 30]

Much better effort.

 

[Lurker]

Particularly glad to see bounce backs from Vescovi and Ziegler.

 

[rdk4121]

That was a really good effort by us, Mashack really impressed me tonight. Nkamhoua had a really great night, except for rebounding. ZZ didn't really do much on the offensive end, but picked up the rebounding slack.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

I did not get to watch much tonight. Had to work late. But, from the bits and pieces I did see, Maschack looked fantastic. I saw him attack the basket several times, something this team sorely needs. He’s also just a freak athletically. Hope this is just the start of him figuring it out and becoming a stud.

 

[kiddiedoc]

Mashack and Awaka both surprised me. JJJ and V with a much better game. Phillips forced them to foul him to death.

 

[INDEFENSE]

I hope they keep Mashack in the regular rotation, he's the only one I see taking it to the rack with conviction. Everyone else just hangs around the three point line, we need somebody going inside.

 

[walkenvol]

I’d take FGCU and the points.

Hope you didn’t lose too much

 

[kiddiedoc]

Hope you didn’t lose too much

Yeah, easy cover for me.

 

[vols 30]

Phillips is too. He's just not quite there yet on finishing

 

[walkenvol]

Listened to the game on the radio so I was depending on Bob painting the picture for me, but it sounded like we struggled from the line tonight? Maybe we got tired from shooting so many free throws?

 

[VolsSportsFan]

This was more like it.

 

[jmva1]

Mashack and Phillips really made some good hard cuts, Mashack finished several and Phillips went to the line a ton off of them. With how much teams are gonna cover our shooters those slashers are gonna be important throughout the season
