Just a great all around W! Go Vols!

somebody hurry and make a gofundme for new shoes for the team

I don’t understand how two shooting guards could struggle to shoot all season. I know people say the frontcourt is the biggest weakness, but after the four top guards it is a big drop off. The sad thing is Barnes isn’t asking them to do much other than make open shots, not turn the ball over, and don’t give up more points than you make.

I don't know if one is any better than the other. Maybe give Mashack those few minutes?

Excellent win. GBO

 

[patrick]

We are finally seeing why he was so highly ranked and recruited.

He is really starting to come into his own. And at a really good time.

 

[wmcovol]

Just when I’m about to give up on BHH, he does something that pulls me back in.

Just needs to put some glue on those hands

If you haven’t had a chance to watch the Tennessee baseball team, they’re playing right now on ESPN+.

If Mashack was a better ball handler, I think he would have surpassed Powell and Bailey. With Mashack you get rebounding and defense, but he’s likely to turn the ball over and he hasn’t shown he can shoot the ball.

His vertical seems to be in the teens.

In the lower teens...

And if the top 4 are shooting so well ya know open shots are there for them.

I think Powell will get there, but this is Bailey’s 3rd year here (counting his RS year he sat) and he was good for 10+ ppg last year.

Apparently Uros gets up higher than BHH. UP jumps center at tip off.

I think both players are at least in part, just victims of being recruited over and they haven’t gotten to play enough to get any rhythm

 

[VolGee4]

That interview with ZZ and JJJ was awesome. Also shows you what they think about Rick. Different on the court, but he is great off the court. Tough love.

They actually need older shoes IMO. The floor has too much Court Marshall on it making it too tacky. This is also evident with the excessive squeaking during game play. My guess is that the cleaner to water ratio was too high in concentration. New shoes are going to "bite" much more than older ones.

I do not understand why. The guy has hands of stone. He is too slow to react against a post player on any team we have played this year. I hate to see him come into the game.

 

[allen phillips]

Hard to know what happens with an ankle, but we sure need him.

If it does not swell up overnight he should be good to go.

Plavsic has a role on this team, do just enough on offense, get some rebounds and is UT's enforcer

Can't wait for tomorrow's game. Great win tonight. GBO!!

Thanks. I’ll let him know.

Swear to Gawd, Vol fans will invent stuff to b*tch, whine and moan about. "Barnes isn't asking them to do much other than make open shots, not turn the ball over, and don't give up more more points than you make."

Gentle Jesus, that's a formula for winning basketball. And your alternative is?
