The Official Tennessee vs. Arkansas Game Thread, 7:00 PM ET, SEC Network

[JCP201]

Our team depends on Bowden's play-- when he good-- we good. Vescovi is amazing, great defense- hopefully we are late blooming and will make a run.

 

[VolunteerCeltic]

Vescovi's maturation and adaptation to NCAA basketball athleticism have been good to watch.

*watches Uros swipe at the ball in the Arkansas guard's hands*

Heh, alright big man, go get it.

 

[DocVOLiday]

82-61 final! Go vols!

 

[GBO18]

Man Uros looks so awkward.

 

[The Dog]

Vols hold the Hogs to their lowest point output of the year

 

[VolunteerCeltic]

Uros had his shot blocked again!!!!

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Uros needs to rip the rim off. Geeze go up hard and slam it you’re 7’ tall!

 

[TheBigOne10]

Man Uros looks so awkward.

He’s absolute trash, hate to say it. No coordination whatsoever.

 

[TheBigOne10]

Good win by the good guys! I’m a little surprised by the margin.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Gaines & Oliver both with great games, carried the bench production.

 

[VolFreakJosh]

Honestly... if it wasn’t for injuries, missed calls on opposing teams, and bad luck, our record would look a lot better than it indicates.

This team plays extremely hard like a Rick Barnes team should.

Next year I’m about as confident as I’ve ever been about making the NCAA Tournament. Preseason Top 25 team as well.

 

[Dr H Lecter]

Vescovi’ s eight assist shows a lot of growth by that young man.

This team plays extremely hard despite like a Rick Barnes team should.

We also played a very hard OOC unlike Arkansas. I like this team a lot, very gritty. Easy to root for their success.

 

[VolunteerCeltic]

Gaines could be our next defensive stopper, plays hard for a freshman, really surprised at his effort, but he is always mopping the floor for loose balls!

 

[kamoshika]

Vescovi with 8 assists tonight. Love this kid's game and super pleased with how he's cut down his turnovers so drastically, from 21 in his first 3 games (1 every 3.5 minutes) to 21 in his last 9 games (1 every 13.3 minutes).

 

[Dr H Lecter]

I wouldn’t be so quick to throw in the towel on Uros.

He’s a descent defender.

Still needs to add another 15 pounds or so.

 

[RAVOL]

He’s absolute trash, hate to say it. No coordination whatsoever.

His game is weak right now but trash please trash goes to Dumps.

 

[JohnWardForever]

Great win! Completely surprised me, but you have to hand it to these Vols. They play hard, and they play Defense. Viscovi is gonna be amazing.

 

[Warriorvol]

Uros needs to sack up bad, that close in the paint has to be smash hulk at that size.

 

[VolunteerCeltic]

He’s a descent defender.

Still needs to add another 15 pounds or so.

Yes another 15 would do him wonders!

 

[Roustabout]

Uros even looks lost in mop up minutes. Man, he is soft as hell. He had a point blank chance at the end and got absolutely handled.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

I wouldn’t be so quick to throw in the towel on Uros.

I remember Kyle, Fulky, Pons when they first got here...I just wish we had gotten him the first year. Obviously his time at ASU was wasted, at least he got in shape though.

I think another full off-season with Barnes & he’ll be solid.

He's a freshman. Let's give him some time
