Vescovi foot speed kills tennessee

JJJ has totally forgotten how to play basketball OR he shouldn't be on the court because he's injured. One of the two is true.

I disagree. I think the “problem” is that each year it seems the kids get their recruiting rankings whether they possess any actual skill or not. Shooting percentage, the ability to use both hands when going to the rim, using the backboard at times based on angle and speed etc, are the type of fundamentals that should be evaluated first and foremost. But they’re not. Kids will be rated 5* as a shooting guard and they can’t shoot! It’s freaking bizarre. It seems the analyst prioritize “potential” over actual skill. It happens in other sports of course. Analyst say joe Milton has amazing potential when in reality the kid is worse than JG. No pocket awareness, no accuracy…sorry, I digress. Lol. Anyway, this basketball team (like the last several under Barnes) lacks kids that “currently” possess skill. By far his best team was full of kids that would never have a spot on the roster today.

The whole team sucked in this game, but cut them a break once in a while. I didn't see the game live, but my wife said the players looked tired (Circles under their eyes).o_O They certainly played like they had no energy. Plane rides will do that sometimes.

Had plenty of energy on defense but maybe it was the circles under their eyes that affected their shooting.

Between this game and Villanova, it appears if you shut Chandler down, you shut the whole team down.

We will go only as far as Chandler will take us. That may be problematic since our next opponents will be backing 3 into the
lane to keep Chandler from penetrating, like TT did tonight.

Same thing teams learned and did against us last year.

Boy this really aged well. My guess is you've basically disappeared from being a prognosticator.

This was after the Texas tech game. Go back and watch the replay. Tell me Santi and JJJ both didn’t struggle that game on defense.

Easy to cherry pick 3 month old threads after a loss. My ex did that, too. Scroll months back to a text to prove a weak arse point.

I get it tho, easier to go through life in orange colored glasses

Actually, making these points after one loss is dumb. Why don’t people watch a body of work? But that’s not how society works. People just can’t be patient.

Elite defensive team, and this is what we get. Comedy.

Agree to disagree. OP shouldn’t have stated a broad judgment of SV’s play overall but more so just on the TTU game, as I did on my assessment of JJJ. But great argument, “it’s dumb” lol.

Being critical doesnt mean someone isn’t a fan or as smart as you. I would argue that it actually makes them more of a fan than you bc they can be more objective in their critique.

I’ve been here a long time. What’s become apparent is that we have a segment of fans who just want to be critical and don’t want to be wrong. It’s gotten worse. Yea, it’s dumb. It’s not being a “fan” anymore.

Great assessment- I’m a better fan than someone else.

Your argument is that two players struggled defensively in a game where we held a top-10 opponent to 31% shooting and 57 points in an overtime game?

I agree. Sounds just like my wife....the segment of fans who want to be critical and don't want to be wrong....
Problem is that she is dwelling in areas of which she has no knowledge.....
Given the Original date of this post I hope the OP has learned from his stupid assessment.

Well I’ve been here WAAAAYYY longer than you so my opinion is better. It seemed petty to drum up a 3 month old thread after a loss to attack or mock a poster being critical.

My argument was don’t attack a guy for being critical. And JJJ did struggle defensively in that game. It was obvious that night. As a whole, they did their thing, but he let a guy run right by him several times, no argument to that
