The Official Tennessee vs. Citadel Game Thread, 7:00pm ET(11/18/13), SportSouth

[DowntownVol]

Need to come out strong the first 5 minutes of the second half and put this team away. Citadel is playing better, no longer looks intimidated, and they've got a couple of shooters.

I'd like to meet the person who thinks these ticky tack fouls make the game more exciting.

I'm not sure it'll last past the half way mark of the season.

I'd rather watch Greenville vs Fulton football ..lol These new rules is basically watching a free throw contest.. no flow to the game

That's what I've been comparing him to. It's just the way he's developed. Oladipo had more natural skill as a freshman and J.Rich was a better shooter as a freshman. As they've gone on you can tell the improvements.

hmm senior J Rich should be very good if he can keep the trend up
edit check out the 3 pt percentage jump (small sample size but still)

The back court duo of Barton and McRae will continue to produce points for us. I could see Barton averaging 8-10 points.

I think he can easily get 10-12

I think Barton needs to take more shots.

loving the addition of Barton so far he could be a difference for us.

Exactly. Oladipo became a decent 3 point shooter last year. I look for J Rich to be the same. His numbers won't be that big of a jump because he's the 4th or 5th option on the team.

 

[SJAVol32]

I think Barton needs to take more shots.

I agree. I think when Maymon Stokes or McRae is out and he's in. He needs to be the first option. His shooting is outstanding.

Yup if our 4th option of the starters can average that we are in really good shape. I still think our starting 5 could average 10+ a piece.

Jeez just was looking at McRae's stats for this year... dude's going ham on assists... Assist percentage of like 28 % up from 15% last year... for sure helping his scouting report for the next level

Yup if our 4th option of the starters can average that we are in really good shape. I still think our starting 5 could average 10+ a peace.

Cuonzo haters would hate this

Easily.

McRae should be near 20

 

[SJAVol32]

And I'd love it!

Easily.

McRae should be near 20

That would really be something.

And I'd love it!

Me and you both

sure if they play the citadel every game

Any thoughts on bringing maymon off the bench? Let the game flow a little then check him in on plan @ 3 minutes in or roll with the starting lineup if clicking?
