The Official #6 [2] Tennessee vs. [15] Saint Peter's Game Thread, 9:20 PM ET, TNT

[ALStateLineVol]

Even announcers talked about Vescovi being great player but having down year this year and cited him as an X factor. I say let's give him more chances to shoot in second half. Great game/opportunity to get his confidence back.

I would love to see several set plays for him and lets see if he can gain some confidence. Up 26, we can afford to do that even if he misses, but for us to go far in this tournament, we need him, JJJ, or Gainey to hit some 3's.

 

[Drewbydoo]

You’re kidding with the “only up 26” right?

I hope we go up an additional 24 in the second using eary dang player on the bench. Just POUR it on.

[Lefteye]

They are awfully small. I'm not sure how they won any conference tournament.

I understand it pains you to bring it up but UT is playing pretty well.

He forgot the blue font.

I'd like to see Santi and JJJ as the only starters playing after the first or second break, and give the bench some work in the other 3 spots.

 

[JoeMiltonsAgent]

Sorry. I did see him sort of limping off. Hope it isn't serious

He went back into the game for last 41 sec.

He's good

 

[BernardKingGOAT]

That probably means he's not severely hurt

Yeah, I saw him sort of limping off. Hope it isn't serious. With the game in hand, Awaka will get more minutes. Estrella may get some quality time too.

 

[vols 30]

Rupp Rafters still down

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Good balance scoring too, Gainey, Awaka, Santi all chipping in.

 

[tnvols72]

I think Santi is thinking too much out there, thats why we are seeing so many pump fakes and dribbling to the paint looking to pass. He just needs to stop pump faking and shoot the ball. He is pump faking when he is wide open. His confidence is shot. We could sure use 10-15 points a night in this tournament from him. If we can get that from him then Tn can win it all

 

[Lefteye]

He forgot the blue font.

I hope so. Otherwise good grief, how do they please some folks.

 

[BowlBrother85]

That was a really bad end to the half

Yep, we're so damn screwed.

 

[tnvols72]

Rupp Rafters still down

It might be down all summer lol

I understand it pains you to bring it up but UT is playing pretty well.

They are doing nothing wrong except maybe should have made a couple of more free throws but this is an absolute physical mismatch.

 

[ATC_VOL]

Came out very crisp. Let’s keep it up.

 

[Drewbydoo]

UGH... Yucky-kentucky lowlights.

Why are they still talking about that game?

Unless they're going to make fun of them, just cover the game we're actually watching.

It's called journalism and reporting.

I know, I know, it's hard, but you can do it See-BS

 

[vol94]

Nice half by our Vols! We scored 20 in the paint and defense is lights out. Keep it going and try to play the younger guys as we will need Estrella, Mashack, Awaka, and Gainey to go deep.

 

[Volatile68]

I hope so. Otherwise good grief, how do they please some folks.

Can't ask for much better than what they've done so far. He must not have watched the UK, S.car, Ms St games.

 

[turbovol]

We need to hang our hat on our defense--that can be a constant. Shooting is always inconsistent. If we play Tennessee defense, we can be a tough out.

 

[Lefteye]

They are doing nothing wrong except maybe should have made a couple of free throws but this is an absolute physical mismatch.

Nothing wrong is ColinS’s playing well? Can I safely assume that??

 

[JCP201]

Unless something changes, we should be okay and not be too worn out after this game.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

That Gohlke guy has hit 125 FGs this year, 121 were 3s.

Talk about a specialist

 

[Aesius]

It might be down all summer lol

They can head over to Wildcat Lair and get excited about their 4-0 start in football only to finish 7-5 as is tradition

That's a crazy stat. He lit 'em up though!
