Here's a stat for you - 3 point shots attempted:

vs Kansas - 26
vs Gonzaga - 28
vs UK - 23
vs USCe -7

Anything stand out to anyone?

It seems (I hope) that Bruce is figuring out that we are not a 3-point shooting team. We had almost 2/3 of our points in the paint tonight. We need to continue to take the ball to the hoop and good things will happen.

:rock:

Yeah I noticed that too. It would be interesting to see the number of assists in the losses compared to the number of assists tonight. I think we had 17 tonight, might be high though.

We took a few good 3 point shots tonight, where someone drove deep to the basket then kicked out to a wide open shooter (Tabb, Tatum x 2)

But we need to completely eliminate the offense where we just pass it around the perimeter and take contested 3s. Thats not our strength, as has been clearly demonstrated.

We should be shooting 5-10 3 point shots per game, not 20-something

We defended for part of the game and went to the house with it.

I was just happy to see them put together a solid half with good d and a respectable offense.


This is the first time they really tried something new and it worked for a time. Hopefully they can refine it a little and get some real improvement. Maybe even put a complete game together one of these days.

Exactly, get the ball to your big men, (especially when UT plays undersized teams like SC) and good things will happen. B. Williams filled in quite nicely for chism tonight.

This definitely is not the Lofton team that could fire (and make) three's at will. I can't figure out why it has taken so long for the Vols to figure this out.

alot better tonight, however in the games mentioned they were behind at times by large margins,which by nature has them jacking up more than normal. I agree the 7-10 is plenty when your team is close or in control.

B Dub had a good night, especially with Wayne making an a-clown of himself, courtesy Teddy Valentine.

We've been averaging more than 20 attempts/game. We were shooting too many even in the games we won.

Looks like you need someone to pickup where Lofton, left off!

Street ball is great if your 1st shot shooting % is above 65% but when you don't rebound well, play team defense, transition well it shows. This team just needs some maturization/humility/team defense...that happens I think they still make the 64 invite show.

If and when they can put two halves together like the first half of this game, this team will be final four bound.

I don't think South Carolina is a bad team at all, I think they have one of the best point guards in the country and a very good coach, Horn will prove himself eventually. Right now, any win in the SEC is a good win.
What UT did yesterday was relax, UK has done it so many times this year, you get a big lead and think you have it in the bag then the other team kicks it into another gear. Once you switch the intensity off it's so hard to get it back.

Really - stop acting like you know more basketball than everyone. Just because we have been mediocre at basketball during our 100 years doesn't mean we don't have fans that didn't watch basketball during that time.

Are there fans that didn't? Sure - every fan base has those - but you honestly know squat compared to hat, BPV, and a some others on here - actually I take that back - you don't know squat compared to anyone on here... you rank right up there with the guy that started the thread about benching Chris Lofton last year. Now go back to watching your 4 p.o.s. TV setup and "analyze" those 4 games at once.

All you do - when you're not trolling - is stating the obvious a lot.. every point you try to bring up has been discussed a million times backwards and forwards - so there's no need.

We all know that the only reason you are saying that is because I'm a UK fan, I tried to pay UT a compliment and you throw a fit. Chill out, in case you haven't noticed, I've changed my approach, I'm trying to be friendly but you seem to be having a bad day. I said South Carolina is a good team and any win in the SEC (even though it's down) is a good win and you throw a temper tantrum because you think it is stating the obvious, but I haven't seen it stated on here at all. It is true that when you turn the intensity off it's hard to get it back, I haven't seen anyone post that so I thought it would be a good thing to bring up. Calm down.

nope.

Chism is actually better at getting available rebounds than Williams is. He gets 29.5 percent of defensive rebounds available while he's in the game which is 6th in the nation. Williams is around 28 percent which is still pretty high.
