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

[Lankykong]

Did one of the announcers refer to Bowden as "James Bowden" or did I imagine it? lol

Yes, I think it was Kennedy aka Mr. “JJ is a freshman”

 

[sechamp2012]

JJJ is coming & hello
is coming with him GBO

 

[RAVOL]

Vescovi will learn that the extra small step that you get away with in NBA academy is called here. But his shot is pure.

 

[top5vols]

Can’t wait until next year.

 

[Lankykong]

A month ago, who thought we'd see Jalen Johnson getting 29 minutes and 11 points?

Probably could have said yesterday rather than a month ago and had the same amount, haha.

JJ played legit good defense today, I was impressed.

 

[JoAllan]

The talk about James not being what we thought he should be will surly subside.

11 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists, a steal and 2 blocks......he has become a really solid player.

He.....along with everyone else has to get the turnovers down.......but James is and has been a solid player for Tennessee.

 

[cobbwebb0710]

I can't remember the rule. How many make up calls are required after a technical is called?

2 on Fulky and 1 on a random player of the refs choosing.
GBO!!

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Santi definitely has dog in em, I think Jalen stepped up big. Obviously don’t wanna see altercations, but he was right there for Santi. Good to see it.

This team is gonna play tough defense and punish teams with good shooting. Santi, Jalen, Bowden & now James finding his shot. Definitely gonna be a grind it out style.

 

[feathersax]

Can’t wait until next year.

I'm enjoying THIS year. Vols show promise, & at my age one goes with the flow.

 

[FrankenVol54]

Bowden just can't find a way to fit in.

lol

 

[MoCo_Vol]

This year will be fun to watch if you focus on player development & pay attention to Barnes coaching.

It’s Cuonzo ball so the TOs were expected & a few were shot clock violations.

 

[BreatheUT]

Yea, but right now, he is much better off the ball.

But he is too valuable because our lack of ball handlers. I agree off the ball he would be a scoring assassin.

 

[JacketVol]

I think the BasketVols beat Missouri 69-63

Close

 

[walkenvol]

Kennedy has struggled on this broadcast.

Like too often these days, way too much talk of stuff besides the ballgame we tuned in to watch

 

[Lankykong]

Based on this game I’m watching right now, A&M looks worse than Mizzou

 

[The Dog]

Really like the South Carolina game being a home game Saturday, great chance to start off 2-1, in the SEC, imo

 

[LibertyVolance]

They hustled and scrapped and got after them. Winning by 10 as a road underdog is mighty fine. James is becoming solid. Vescovi is becoming. Jalen Jason looked like a player tonight. Take away the wild TOs and some FT misses down the stretch, they deserved a win and went on the road and got it. Well done.

 

[zjcvols]

Thank God Santi was eligible to play this year. If not it would get ugly really fast. Good win today. You never complain about road wins

 

[Fun coupon VOL]

Neither of those were fouls by JJJ. You can tell because man ain’t making the FTs

Ball don’t lie.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Really like the South Carolina game being a home game Saturday, great chance to start off 2-1, in the SEC, imo

Agreed, easier to come home after a tough game with the W too.

 

[kell7517]

Glad to see Bowden out of his slump. I hope that’s a sign of things to come. We need your leadership young man.

 

[SGMVols]

Johnson played the best defensive game of his career. That kept him on the floor just as much as the shots he hit.

 

[JoAllan]

But he is too valuable because our lack of ball handlers. I agree off the ball he would be a scoring assassin.

Your correct....but right now Tennessee will prob keep James at point prob at least half the time (or more).....simply because Vescovi turns it over too much. While he is learning and James is at point.....I don’t think that will hurt too much because Vescovi is such a good shooter off the ball.

If Tennessee makes any type of post season.....I expect by then Vescovi will be the 75-80% point for this team.

 

[ttocswob]

Great road win...is Vescovi's TOs a big concern or something that should get better with more games under his belt?

I'm so glad the referees decided to call traveling on everybody so as not to single Santi out...

 

[Fun coupon VOL]

Best game of JJJ’s young career and JJ as well.
