Plasvic needs fulkys work ethic, hope Barnes stays on him.

 

[walkenvol]

Bowden is a cool 0-6 again. It’s amazing we can compete with such a volume shooter in a prolific season long slump.

 

[walkenvol]

On offense option 1 Fulky, option 2 Pons, option 3 go back to option 1.

 

[Tnfan1971]

The refs not gonna give us anything..gonna have to earn it

 

[walkenvol]

Good fight, love the Plavsic foul. You’re a big, be mean. Davis was being a bitch.

Just need to get Fulkerson touches and the 3 ball will open up as they start doubling him.

But we can’t shoot the 3 consistently

 

[PulaskiVolFan]

I think defensively we've got to force them to make tough 2s or hope that they go cold from 3. We need lots of fouls on both sides this half as well. Turn this thing into an ugly 38-28 half!!

 

[RAVOL]

I think Bowden disappearing and Turner leaving really cemented our downfall this year.

It definitely put to much on this Freshman group which I really like all of them future

Bowden is not even close on any shot.

 

[BreatheUT]

I think we'll need a point too, Vescovi too slow to consistently create or gaurd. He needs to be a set shooter who can create a little.

Maybe it's that nobody else is really a competent offensive player. Vescovi is what he is a solid ball handler that can run the offense and dish unless the players you are dishing to are below average. If someone else was a consistent shooter Vescovi would get more open looks.

Throwing an elbow into the back of someone because you’re playing like **** after a common foul isn’t toughness or showing life. It means you’re an immature dumbass costing your team points

Team went on a 9-2 run after the Uros foul...really cost the team there. Lol.

Bowden is mystifying. Could not the the ground if he fell out of a plane.

 

[walkenvol]

What would our record be if Bowden was hitting 47% from 3 like Petty?

I’m sorry, did I say a 9-2 run? I meant 13-2 run.

 

[zjcvols]

Yes I’m sure John Fulkerson saw that elbow and immediately thought “Wow Uros took a cheap shot I’m more motivated now!”

 

[chuckb1448]

How was that a foul?

 

[JRVOL11]

Foul ?

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

Horsesh1t foul

 

[VolArmy74]

Not a foul on Gaines. Good hustle and a bad call.

 

[Big Orange Rock]

Vescovi takes some wild azz shots.

 

[Big Orange Rock]

Team went on a 9-2 run after the Uros foul...really cost the team there. Lol.

The point is it was selfish and stupid regardless of what happened after.

 

[KBVol]

Are you that damn dense? Team was lifeless, dead in the water....until Uros showed a little fight and the team has responded with some energy and effort.

 

[tnvols72]

Never seen a team that had more trouble holding on to the ball than this team

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

Pathetic gaines

 

[kiddiedoc]

Rejected.

No I’m not dense, I just don’t think that a cheap shot constitutes more motivation, nor does it excuse his behavior. Barnes was so impressed with it that he went with Gaines over Uros to start and Uros hasn’t played since.
