The Official #7 Tennessee vs. UT Martin Game Thread, 4:00 PM ET, SEC Network+

Eh...honestly just a few 3s didn't drop. We're out rebounding them, they're at 10 TOs and we shot 40% from field. Just a few good 3s didn't fall is why it wasn't 20+ lead.

Also they had a few absolute GARBAGE 3s fall for them...

Cade looks good, need more consistentcy from him and Okpara at the rim. Igor looks solid as well but also plays a bit sloppy, hopefully him and Dubar can come along as the season progresses.

 

[RAVOL]

Very ugly half... We look ready for Thanksgiving lol

They do look like they are ready for Thanksgiving especially on Offense. But just like few other games we will come out in 2nd half and put beat down on them don't know if we cover spread but we will push lead to 35+. In CHRIST Alone

ugly basketball / ZZ has been non existent offensively for awhile now . . .

He doesn’t and shouldn’t be one of our leading scorers with CL and IM.

But Vols not sharp - it’s a holiday.

West Virginia just beat #3 Gonzaga

I enjoy watching this team however in this game i was hoping the Vols would work the inside game a bit more.

Lol. I thought Igor had a meh half. Then check the box score and he has 7pts, 3/4 shooting, 2 blocks, and 7 rebounds. I need glasses.

No kidding. They threw in three prayers and nearly banked another one in.

igor behind lanier is our best offensive player.

He had a less than stellar turnover and passed up that corner three he should have shot, when he passed it down to Okpara who turned it over. Other than that he was good.

He can still slice between defenders... he's just missing the decisiveness he had 2 seasons ago. I hate how much difficulty he's seemed to have adjusting to the newfound blue chip athleticism of his teammates the past two season after his injury.

Still one of my favorite BasketVols.

IM is a dog. He just works. His upside is huge.

I was the same, but I think it’s because he passes up so many good looks.

Let's see how UT defends Grullon second half

Hoping he starts taking more of those.

I agree. I think i just want so much from him because you can see it is there.

 

[87&91ALUM]

Zz 3

True true.

Love his game.

 

[87&91ALUM]

Okpara finger roll

 

[patrick]

Zzzzz for 3

 

[walkenvol]

Dunk it Felix!

 

[patrick]

Great defense.

 

[87&91ALUM]

40-20 Vols

 

[DinkinFlicka]

Okpara is a beast. Really hope we get him for another year. I feel like we do since most bigs are expected to shoot at the next level, unless you're a freak of nature like Edey.

 

[patrick]

OCI with the put back.
