BVS. Report to the nurse.

Is she hot?

 

[TennesseeFan07]

As expected, huge money coming in on Tennessee, but the line isn't budging.

 

[cwbytruckers]

Tonight i dont think The Owls know WHO is going to deal with Uros. They about to wet their pants. A beat down is coming.

Never a great sign

Well they do have their own 7’1” 250lb Russian…

And he couldnt dominate a very small FDU team. Seriously this game will come down to our guards making shots. Its going to be small ball most likely.

 

[BallerVolFan]

We will find out after the first game starts. Be three of Jeb hartness, Paul sells, Larry scoratto, Brian Dorsey, aj Desai and Jeff Anderson. Whoever does the first game, we will get the others. Prefer to avoid desai and hartness. Pretty sure Anderson did the Tennessee Purdue sweet 16 game

No AJ Desai please! From what I remember during the Duke game, at one point he had called 8 fouls on Tennessee and 0 on Duke. The only fouls he called on the devils was when they were intentionally fouling at the very end. ACC ref too.

I’m gonna disagree. I’m good with the small ball line up, but still think we’ll look to take advantage in the paint. If they can get the inside out working, all the better.

 

[DowntownVol]

Phillips showed a couple of incredible flashes vs. Duke. I hope that builds at least a little confidence for him tonight. We are going to need him to contribute something. If we can somehow get at least 20 points combined between him and JJJ, we win this game.

 

[camp_steveo]

Canceld Fubo and went back to Sling. Cost is about the same, but quite a few more channels.

Yep, us playing small ball is exactly what FAU wants. Keep the game slow, methodical, and in the paint.

 

[ReadCT]

Win tonight and:

1) banners will be hung
2) mattresses will be burned

GBO

I hope so but if our bigs have trouble with their guards we could see only one big in the game at a time.

Let's not stop til we are at the top....bring em all on. Can't wait til 9:00 EST....9:00 CT here in Middle Tennessee. If we get a fair officiating crew...we should be able to win this one. Another miracle half or full game from ON and a box full of 3s from JJJ and Vescovi would lower my blood pressure. GBO!

 

[white65]

I think Key is gonna have a big game, we love to post up mismatches and their guards are small. Phillips, JJJ, ON should also get some good matchups. One of four I mentioned are going to put up 20+.

 

[berryvol]

Now in full on anxiety attack mode.

I think we can play ON and either Aidoo or Plav together. ON should be quick enough to guard their 2nd biggest player if he’s cagey. He also can block shots at the rim

Hope you don’t miss the entire 1st half being in CST.

 

[Woodlawn VOL]

Take em to the hoop Big Orange!!!!!

Crazy clocks over there in Middle TN!

Take em to the hoop Big Orange!!!!!

…or in Uros’ case, to the floor…
