hard to win with officiating this one sided

 

[KnoxtotheBoro20]

How many times are we gonna let smith catch the ball that low. That’s terrible defense

 

[therealitytheory]

Damn. Give us Tollu Smith and we get our 1st F4.

 

[KTrain]

Letting Tolu hang in the lane over 3 seconds just can’t stop him refs don’t call it anymore I can’t blame him for taking advantage

 

[ndubvols]

Biggest concern about this game is that it shows we’re going to struggle to guard against any team with a good big. Purdue, Kansas, UNC, and now MSSt.

 

[PEPPERJAX]

Double team Smith?

At this point we should if he gets it deep in the paint. If Smith kicks it out to an open shooter that makes it, then oh well. He is killing us.

 

[GBO18]

JJJ must think this is a tourney game.

1 -7 FG

Would have really loved to see what Ledlam could have done.

 

[vol94]

Do we have a big man who can defend Smith? State is not a great team. My gosh.

It’s on the road but the arena is @ 60% capacity and not a factor since the students are still on break.

They’re outplaying us but they’re also getting away with murder. I wish Rick would get T’d up.

 

[joevols89]

First 4 mins didn’t close the gap.

 

[87&91ALUM]

15 minutes into second half and still 13 down to State

 

[SmokeyLives]

1) go zone to shut down the big guy. 2) stop firing 3’s every possession 3) keep Gainey on the bench 4) see #2

 

[SouthKnoxVOL]

15 minutes into second half and still 13 down to State

I think you mean 5 minutes into

 

[TooLegit2Quit]

There's going to be about a million free throws this half.

We played Purdue better than we’re playing tonight. Of course it wasn’t a road game either.

[LordVOLdemort]

ZZ now has more points than the rest of the team combined

 

[87&91ALUM]

Nice Knecht

 

[87&91ALUM]

Another turnover! Santi two

 

[ttocswob]

Great press D!

 

[SouthKnoxVOL]

It's amazing what happens when we are aggressive and drive the ball.

 

[barney]

YES

 

[NO SIR EEE]

Full court pressure is vicious

 

[berryvol]

I’ll live with that. Keep up the pressure!

 

[berryvol]
