LT 5 turnovers resulting in 8 pts, and a bad final possession... C'mon LT we need you

 

[VEKZY]

And he has 7 assists, 5 rebounds, and playing great defense

I think he is doing a good job, but 6 turnovers is way too much for 1 half.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

You might hate to say it cause it’s silly to say with his squad being up 12, and it’s not halftime yet.

It's not even remotely silly. He's made a ton of turnovers and has missed most of his shot. Just becuase others have picked up his slack doesn't mean he isn't hurting us.

 

[RyanWalkerPGH]

Lamonte really struggling

Agree but overall is a play is definitely a positive.

 

[VEKZY]

and 1 of 7 shooting to add to that.

M y video feed is starting to hang or freeze.....anybody else having issues ?

I logged out and back in, and it resolved it for me.

Is Tennessee up 12 if he’s not playing? We both know he’s not. He’s not shooting well and too many TO’s but overall he’s doing a good job contributing.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

If Turner ain’t going to score he needs to chill on the turnovers.

You can't say that, you might indicate he's hurting us in some way and apparently that's just silly talk.

 

[W.TN.Orange Blood]

Overall a very good half

Dang.....that's good to know.....I missed all but the last 3 minutes.

 

[YankeeVol]

Just don’t blow the lead

 

[Dallasbowlin]

Can’t ask for much more. ORN has done a fantastic job so far.

If he plays better are we not up more? You guys are hung up on being up 12. Being up 12 doesn't cancel out him hurting us.

 

[zjcvols]

Everyone but Jalen is playing well. And it’s not like Jalen is hurting us.

 

[JoAllan]

Unless Tennessee starts shooting badly a zone isn’t going to work.

Hope Tennessee keeps it up.

Little credit to Washington too. He had a rough half turnover wise, but he was far from “hurting his team”.

 

[zjcvols]

Yes. If he doesn’t have seven assists, five boards, and isn’t playing good on D we aren’t up 12 either. If Lamonte isn’t playing we are definitely not up 12.

He’s still bringing other positive contributions to the team.

 

[VEKZY]

Pons is fantastic the past few games. Just wow.

Perhaps I should have said it differently. I'll admit "hurting us" may sound a bit storng.

What I mean is, if he had played better particulary turnovers and hitting more of his shots, we'd be up even more.

 

[Dallasbowlin]

Everyone but Jalen is playing well. And it’s not like Jalen is hurting us.

He hasn’t really play bad either, just been a body. Has he even recorded a stat? Lol

 

[VolsSportsFan]

Yes. If he doesn’t have seven assists, five boards, and isn’t playing good on D we aren’t up 12 either. If Lamonte isn’t playing we are definitely not up 12.

He’s still bringing other positive contributions to the team.

"Hurting us" may have been the wrong way to say it.

 

[Shaun1985]

Turner playing like crap. Bowden staying hot. If we could get our transition defense down and limit those fast break points, pretty much flawless defense. Most is contested. Wake up Turner.

 

[zjcvols]

That’s fair

 

[Catbone]

I bet JJJ will look a lot better come SEC play

We don’t need MORE in b-ball. Just win baby!!lol
