KEEP IT UP BASKETVOLS KEEP IT UP!

 

[Catbone]

These little mid range jumpers are working today

 

[Zues1]

Woooop, woooop

 

[wmcovol]

Best game from Uros yet. Good quality minutes.

 

[volmoon]

We look more in sync today than any game since early in the season!

 

[Old Geezer]

Can someone stuff a sock in Vitale's mouth?

 

[VolGee4]

It’s amazing what happens when you let the kids run

Lol. They’ve been trying for most of the season. It helps when you get stops and Bama can’t hit a 3.

 

[Johnnyreb#VFL]

Keon is as hot as he’s ever been and Barnes takes him out. Ok. Darn the ankle, he’s good!!

 

[RAVOL]

Let's finish this half. Keep punishing the shorter guards in the lane Keon and Jaden. In CHRIST Alone

Yep, the bridles are off today. Thank goodness

 

[VolFreakJosh]

I like the adjustments Barnes has made on defense

 

[zeppelin128]

Bert just went "woooooo!" after Pons block. Lmao

 

[Creeker]

I get it. However, don’t take a guy out that has scored 6 straight points. Never have understood taking out a player that is on fire

Because coaches usually know when there players need a break. Leaving them in there too long leads to fouls or turnovers because they are playing tired.

 

[dono]

Anyone firing Barnes here?

 

[Chris4Vols22]

Not surprised at all with the fact that we're looking good right now. That doesn't mean I know exactly what it is that makes the team either click or suck, but like 2019, I truly believe we can win any game when we play our best.

Sure definitely, thats why we are (checks kenpom) 245th in tempo

 

[VolGee4]

I get it. However, don’t take a guy out that has scored 6 straight points. Never have understood taking out a player that is on fire

It’s about when to rest him. Sometimes they get taken out a minute before the official TO to get more rest regardless of how many they’ve scored.

 

[Orange931]

I remember hearing a lot about Keon before he came to UT. I live about 15-20 minutes from where he’s from, it was him then everybody else on the court. Glad he chose UT.

 

[Creeker]

Just wait till Bama brings it back within single digits lol

 

[tnvols72]

Sorry but Springer is a mess

 

[VolsSportsFan]

Springer needs to get it together

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Good TO, Rick. We cannot let all this hard work go to waste before half.

 

[zeppelin128]

Switch audio to Sports Animal. Not my favorite, but Boob > Dick.

The sound of Vitale's voice makes me want to hurl my TV out the window.

 

[Switch 625]

Springer... SMH

 

[JRVOL11]

Please finish the half strong .
