I like Pember....be he gots no defense outside 3ft from the basket.

I’m not excited about him long term

 

[zjcvols]

I’ve never seen a guard have such an inconsistent jumper like JJJ. He has different footwork, different release points every jumper he takes. It’s beyond odd

 

[Switch 625]

Fulkerson has no control over his body

 

[JoAllan]

I could drive past Pember

The bad thing is he has such size, he could use size and positioning to off set his “slowness” and lack of D.......he just doesn’t have any of that figured out yet.

The one 3 looked like he was going to do a jumping jack

 

[MoCo_Vol]

We get lazy with perimeter defense a bit. Seem to linger inside when guys are cutting through the paint.

 

[tnvols72]

I dont think they have no awareness with the shotclock

 

[Memphisvol87]

Does Barnes even coach during the game or just wait until halftime. This offense is absolute garbage.

 

[JoAllan]

I’m not excited about him long term

I think he has a nice shot. He is 6-10, and has lots of length.

“If” he could get some decent D at some point, he could be pretty good......he’ll never be a banger though.

 

[Roustabout]

This team does not pass well or move without the ball. They make things very hard on themselves. Too much dribbling.

 

[Ernest T. Vol]

Passing up good shots...having to make bad ones.

 

[zjcvols]

Barnes not giving Santi as much of a pass as he did Saturday. He’s benched him multiple times for a bad play

 

[BreatheUT]

Finally yes

I can't remember the last time someone on the team hit 2 3-pointers in a row. That is how bad it is. As long as Jalen Johnson doesn't have to handle the ball too much he is ok. I don't know maybe he'll get some confidence.

 

[walkenvol]

Is that 10 for JJ?

Meh. He’s not gonna play next year if they get a grad big man. I don’t see the athleticism of an SEC player.

 

[TrumpedUpVol]

Is that 10 for JJ?

11!

 

[ttocswob]

Is that 10 for JJ?

11 per Bob, good first half.

 

[Dallasbowlin]

Love to see it from JJ.

You would think they would be better at that since no one can beat their man off the dribble.

Minute monitoring. LSU game was Saturday & had to travel tonight, smart coaching. Santi isn’t in 30 mins a game shape yet.

Bowden & Jalen stepping up though.

 

[BreatheUT]

Barnes not giving Santi as much of a pass as he did Saturday. He’s benched him multiple times for a bad play

It's a good strategy. 1) we need him fresh for the 2nd half and 2) I think he doesn't want to lose him to a lot of pressure. He's been in Knoxville less than two weeks.

 

[Freak]

Four-point lead at the half. I'll take it. We knew this was going to be a hard-fought game.

 

[Freak]

Halftime stats. Johnson with 11, Bowden with 9 and Fulkerson with 8.

 

[TrumpedUpVol]

If UT can stop these turnovers, and Mizzou’s resulting points off turnovers, I like their chances in the second half. If JJ finishes with 18+, I’ll be ecstatic.

 

[JoAllan]

Meh. He’s not gonna play next year if they get a grad big man. I don’t see the athleticism of an SEC player.

I think they would have loved to red shirt him this year......they just couldn’t.
