Yeah if Scofield is G League so is Keon. He needs to decide if he wants to play in front of millions or be obscure in the G league

Keon is 100x more athletic than Schofield which is what makes him a top pick. NBA teams will teach you how to play if you have Keons athleticisim. Schofield is a good player but hes not athletic enough to guard a wing and isnt big enough to play the nba 4.

I see the “I don’t watch the NBA but how is Keon a first rounder he should give up $10M-15M guaranteed to come back” VN crowd is out today 🙄🙄🙄

This is always how auburn beats us. Take just the worst shots ever but crash the glass hard and get put backs. They're only shooting 32% but have taken 10 more shots than us, but only have 2 less turnovers.

If you watch the first 10 minutes or so we were doing that. We’re shooting like 50% from 3. Getting offensive rebounds. We had some trademark droughts due to TOs. I think there have only been around 4 end of shot clock takes that didn’t result in an immediate rebound

No way you can convince me we have a good offensive scheme

If Keon Johnson is a draft pick then the NBA needs help.

I guess the NBA needs help because he is going. It does not matter how awful he plays. He impressed the right person and they are endorsing him. He has good games against weak teams, and he cannot stay in front of quick guards. I don't see the elite defense everyone is drooling over.

Offense is hard against athletic D like AU without a really good PG. Faulk disappearing this year tough sometimes. Second half let's get this. In CHRIST Alone

We can easily still win this by 15, Auburn is trash. If we don’t win this one, I’ll bash Barnes, but it’s been some pretty straight luck tip ins, etc. that are keeping them in it.

No just no. Pearl’s AU team looks horrible, like godawful. I would never trade his team for ours this game unless there was like a 20 point handicap, and his offense is actively making them play worse. Pearl needs 3-4 guys who shoot 40% from 3 to have any chance to win anything, and that’s not happening this game.

No just no what????

Pearl's best player is injured and TN been getting beat almost the entire half regardless of shooting...... Yea Pearl sucks - him and his final four --- its been almost two decades since Barnes made the final four.....

I don't care about Pearl's offense, but Barnes' offense is outdated.

OH and FYI:

Auburn was 5 of 18 from the 3 pt line but are still beating the Vols.... be informed.... Tiger dominating the Boards as well - which is par for the course for TN.

In 4 years watching Pons I haven't seen him talk to any of the players, or very rarely. This team needs an alpha male to get in your face and demand the team get their act together. Fulky and Pons don't have it in them, unfortunately.

Barnes getting outcoached by Pearl, imagine that.....and Pearl's roster is weak and his point guard is "injured".

The Vols are getting outplayed as well.

Barnes roster issues, "hard coaching" (a/k/a riding players into the ground) and stale offense is quintessential Barnes.

I hope the Vols pull this one out, but I have very little confidence that they will - getting beat by a sub .500 Auburn team is just plain bad. Tennessee should be up by 7-8 pts.

Eh.
Given both teams records you could easily argue Barnes has done a better job throughout the season if its going to be simplified that much.
Reality is AU shouldn't be as bad as their record is either. If its on Barnes for UT not playing as well as they should be that would work for Pearl as well.

Yeah, I am informed Auburn can’t shoot. That’s why they’re not gonna win. His offense doesn’t work unless you shoot a high percentage and he can’t adjust to his personnel. Not out coaching when you’re teaching your guys to take fadeaways instead of layups. It’s just called winning

Want to make a $1,000 bet on that?

Let me clarify, one or 2 may get drafted but they won’t last long both probably headed to g league then off the France or Russia if they want to keep playing basketball
