The Official #7 Tennessee vs. Eastern Kentucky Game Thread, 7:00 PM ET, SEC Network

IMO, Barnes has so far done his best coaching. I see improvement across the board as far as individual players.

We really need to work on our inside play though. When 3's aren't falling, we have to know how to attack the rim with Philips and Mashack (and a little of Plav)

 

[JelloPuddinPup]

One of my new favorite games is to guess how many players on our team Awaka will out-rebound in his limited minutes.

Mashack is a real nice surprise, Clark. Just a Real nice surprise

Mashack is a real nice surprise, Clark. Real nice.

I expected Aidoo to be our breakout player, but Shack has become the early surprise, no doubt.

 

[CAVPUT]

I think he started cramping

You see a guy walking with a locked straight leg and you know exactly what the problem is. I get 'em all the time and walk exactly the same way.

Awaka has a motor on him, dude loves to rebound.

Awaka will be a rebounding machine at Tennessee.

 

[Volfan1000]

No you didn’t.

If you type in at Google, "Is Bob Kesling Retiring?" in the search bar, the first item that pops up is an article from some Twitter dude that is dated July 22nd, 2022 and he claims that Kesling will retire at the end of this basketball season.

Phillips will be a double double guy all season long.

Yeah, Aidoo impressed me in the little time we saw him last year so I had expectations for him, I had little expectations for Mashack, and all I heard was that he wouldn’t play much this year and was in the dog house. I guess inside sources either don’t know much, or he got back in Barnes’s good graces.

Awaka will be a rebounding machine at Tennessee.

I think he should play more.

Question: I was in my car during the game last night, trying to hear the game on 104.5/the Zone (Nashville). Instead, some talking heads were rattling on about crapola. Later, the station had the post-game show on the air. What's up with these people?

 

[Volfan2012]

41 Free throws meant we only had to make 10 field goals to win the game since we made 31 points at the line.

Could you imagine how complete of a team this would be with Kennedy Chandler? My gosh I wish we could’ve gotten him and Phillips together at least 1 year!

 

[honda50r]

Well said

we’d be the best team in the nation by far

 

[swchandler1988]

4 banana, no cramp

 

[OrangeBeachVol]

Can someone tell me where or post the game last night. I had to miss the 2nd half and would like to see how we destroyed them in 2nd half. Much appreciated.

 

[swchandler1988]

 

[OrangeBeachVol]

Thanks chandler, was a great 2nd half. Team looks really good right now.

I hate when the announcers decide to have a random podcast in the middle of a game.

I must admit however, last nights was better than most.

Loved it when he said Ziegler has won a lot of games for “us.”

Yeah and I mean, it begs the question.

Why is TJ in Knoxville for a random game against EKU?

It’s cause he is basically a Vol staff member it sounded like to me lol

I hadn’t heard much about him in the last 10 years, but he was a pretty great interview.
