The Official #7 Tennessee @ #12 Missouri Game Thread, 9:00 PM ET, SEC Network

[MoCo_Vol]

Y’all realize we got ANOTHER top 100 freshmen we’ve not even seen play yet.

 

[walkenvol]

Apparently I'm the only one that sees some potential. I can see some ability there if he can pull it together.

Except he’s a grad transfer, not a freshman

Football team can't even score 20pts, and we're complaining that the basketball team only won by 20 lol

There's NO complaint here from this W.TN. fan. A win is a win if only by three points.
Keep the pedal to the metal and just WIN baby....

Who Dat??

This one was never even in doubt.
GBO!!

 

[vols 30]

If he stays, he will play meaningful minutes here, imo. May take 4 years, but Gaines has mad skills, especially on defense, just needs a little longer to develop. Barnes seems to develop players like Gaines if they stick it out

The problem is he will be recruited over year after year. Same with Pember

 

[cobbwebb0710]

Who Dat??

Walker.
GBO!!

Agreed, but after this game we cracked open that bottle of 16 year old Scotch that Santa gave us

It’s a beautiful thing. If Barnes continues this recruiting hot streak mixed with his bada** coaching, we’re gonna be regulars in at least the elite 8.

UT Looks like a dominant team tonight.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Except he’s a grad transfer, not a freshman

He’ll be a big time piece for us next year, assuming we lose Fulky & Pons.

EJ isn’t explosive and plays on the court, reminds me of a less offensive Maymon (especially after his injuries). Not sure EJ will be a 10/8 guy though like Maymon was.

 

[W.TN.Orange Blood]

Walker.
GBO!!

Walker the stalker?

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Who Dat??

 

[vol94]

YES!

I hope so! I love March Madness and enjoyed watching in person.

 

[Jravol78]

Nice win, very nice.

 

[Warriorvol]

What's great is our depth, last year fully had to bail us out, this year we have 7 that could put 10 + on you. I think we have 4 that could take over games for us if needed. Fully, vescobi, springer, bailey.

 

[kiddiedoc]

That was a great start to the SEC season. If we weren't on anyone's radar yet, we are now. This could be a really fun season, and Lord knows we all need it.

 

[cobbwebb0710]

Walker the stalker?

The fast talker.
GBO!!

The problem is he will be recruited over year after year. Same with Pember

If Pember stays 4 years, I think he will contribute, too. Yeah, they may be recruited over, but if they stick it out, both will contribute, maybe as role players, but still contributers. Every team needs players like these kids, imo

 

[BruisedOrange]

+ 1st time playing in this arena for:

Springer went 4-7​

Bailey went 4-6​

Annosike went 0-3​

Johnson went 3-6​

That's 37.4 ppg suddenly susceptible to the unknown. Newbies contributed 28 points tonight!

I will be surprised if Tennessee leaves the court with a win. We will be a much better team for having played this game, but most of the advantages tonight lie with Missouri.

Updated. I'm convinced. We're really a good team.

I don't think it is a talent problem for him. He needs to add 10 - 15 pounds of muscle, and work to refine his offensive game. Then, I think he will be hard to keep off the floor almost regardless of the talent we recruit.

 

[Chris4Vols22]

I've heard others compare him to Maymon, and I personally don't see it. From the first time I watched him, he reminds me of John Fields.

 

[chuckiepoo]

Largest road victory over AP top 25 in history.

Talk dirty to me bruh...
