The Official Tennessee vs. UMass Game Thread, 4pm ET, ESPNU

Except for the 9 points on 3/5 shooting he's provided you mean...he's helped stretch the D.

He's hit shots, which has been nice. But he's getting abused on D and his ball handling hurts in games like this.

Oh well. No big deal so far.

 

[MadcapLaughs]

That's Wayne Blackshear, not Russ Smith on the graphic.

There's possibly 10-15 threads labeled "Maymon" that discuss this at length.

so you just couldnt answer it ?

 

[YankeeVol]

Stokes!!!

 

[zjcvols]

so you just couldnt answer it ?

We don't know. Hopefully December.

The regulars just sometimes get annoyed, especially with this question, because we get asked it 3 times a day for the past month.

Boom Stokes!

 

[omghulkhands]

you think they will keep letting him stand at the free throw line? lol

 

[OrangeBalls]

Keep doing work Stokes.

 

[HerdnVols]

Stokes is taking over.

 

[tnvols72]

Whats the score?

61-54 tn , i will answer it,he might tell you there is a thread about it

 

[MadcapLaughs]

The UMass center didnt realize how hard you have to foul Stokes to slow him down.

Same thing as last year, as far as defensively....we all should've known that wouldn't change.

However, to this point his three point shooting is improved.

 

[zjcvols]

Dammit, Stokes. Finisht he free throws.

 

[OrangeBalls]

Hit your damn FT's.

 

[JAllen18]

Great D.

 

[bleedingTNorange]

Hopefully by the time SEC play starts.

I think he has played good d except a baseline drive in the first half and letting that guy take him a minute ago, but dude was taking whoever was on him and a quicker and longer player is a mismatch.

 

[JAllen18]

Thats one thing I love about Cuonzo's teams. They play great defense.

 

[tnvols72]

that wasnt a 5 sec call ? unreal

 

[OrangeBalls]

We are 10-18 from the FT line and Stokes is 7-13. The only thing he hasn't done well today.

 

[zjcvols]

Great hustle by Q there. Nice job.

 

[OrangeBalls]

Miss the FT and get the loose ball and layup. LMAO.

 

[omghulkhands]

[tnvols72]

Love Q's hustle today.
