[CAVol]

Motha f***ing reese tho

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

Damn Reese holla at cha boy! And then we don't get back defensively and give up a cheap layup damn it

 

[YankeeVol]

Nice dish.

 

[YankeeVol]

41-30 Vols at the half. I'll take it

Pathetic, imo. More mistakes happen in his halfcourt offense when not even trying to score.

Not trying to incite a riot, but that's incorrect. They're one of the best teams in the country at taking care of the ball playing Zo's style. He'll let them play uptempo, but not if they're gonna turn it over 20 times a game.

Someone mind posting the score. Tia.

 

[tnvols72]

Morehead st is the real deal

 

[Tenn Ted]

Poor defense in that last 2 minutes, but a nice half overall! Wish we could have played like that against NC St.

 

[Spartacavolus]

Exactly. He's a liability on the defensive end

Not any more than maymon. He can also evidently dunk when somebody passes him the ball.

 

[tnvols72]

41-30

This. Way too easy of drives resulting in layups in the last couple minutes, gotta fix that.

We had more turnovers and bad shots in halfcourt sets in the first half then we did running the court.

“@MarkPancratz: I'd love to see us play fast but if guys miss layup a or make bad decisions in transition Coach won't allow them to run very long”

Sums up the pathetic excuse of a coach hard headed half season is!!


Can't play scared and play well.

 

[YankeeVol]

Never mind. Thanks, yank.

It's hard to root against Morehead.

You sure about that with the turnovers?

We had 5 on the half, and I can think of 3 turnovers off the top of my head that were while trying to push it.

Agree. Hart should fire him in the locker room.

 

[jarnol32]

Derek Reese 7pts 5 reb in the 1 st half . Hmm...

or a TV link ?

Silly question: If playing strong defense is the primary requirement to get minutes while the team has been pretty bad offensively YTD having lost 4 already; then why isn't Reese playing a good thing all of the time? I don't know, but it seems to me that if he scores more than he gives up on defensive end while getting a fair amount of rebounds he might need to be playing more. Seems like inexperienced players usually improve in all facets of the game when they play more. I think I have seen coaches design defenses that provide some help for the weaker match-ups on D. I've been told some even use zone Ds at times.

Just a thought. Not a basketball expert like some of you so I will defer to your expertise.

Merry Christmas now get out
