What is with the purple uniforms?

 

[TNVolunteerGrad]

Lay ups continue to be a problem

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

15 rebounds for stokes

 

[hatingbamaisawayoflife]

Team looked good tonight

 

[zjcvols]

We can't hit a lay up

We hit everything in the first.

I won't complain...too much

 

[Plecoptera]

Refs have let em play all day both sides

I like it when the refs let them play. Games go a lot faster and have a much better flow without all of the fouls.

Length

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

Remember the stat I said we need from Barton after Saturday, 14,3 and 2.. its what he has tonight. He is a big key to our success.

Length

We've struggled with length all season

It works to our advantage as well.

 

[87Vol]

Overall, we're now starting to play the way we should have been playing all year. We are shooting much better from outside and playing better D. Still need to finish better inside.

How many boards does Stokes have now he's dominating the glass

He always looks so awkward on layups. It's like he's jumping off the wrong foot. Hard worker but he makes The Great Dane Bradshaw look athletic in comparison.

 

[GBO18]

Now they start calling touch fouls. smh.

 

[VolGee4]

We've struggled with length all season

Two things our guys have to do against length:
1. Don't have a memory. Don't remember the last block and try to adjust. Just keep going up strong.
2. Outwork them by getting rebounds on misses.

Length will continue to bother Maymon and Stokes, but they have to fight through it and play smart.

 

[Catbone]

my god these little fouls

Sound familiar? Like déjà vu all over again.

 

[golfballs]

God this is annoying

 

[GBO18]

Work on press break Coach Martin.

 

[MadcapLaughs]

Vols will probably be seeing some more full court pressure as the year progresses.

That's true you can see a lot of guys get blocked and then be afraid to go back up. We just stick with it and go right back up.

Yes. That's all they can do with the height limitations. Need to use more ball fakes too.

body blow baskets

Sometimes Maymon goes up at a weird angle because he is scared to get blocked. He can't hit the shot. Just go up and don't worry about the block.

 

[MadcapLaughs]

This could easiliy have gotten way out of hand. Nice road win!
