Obviously you could name 100 things, but what 3 things are at the top of your list that you'd like to see or are looking for tonight...



1. Do we get the ball into the post consistently? I don't want to see 2-3 possessions in a row in which a post player doesn't touch the ball at least once.

2. Does Trae lead the team like we need him to? I'd like to see him be vocal, put people in great positions, and defend his position...also really am looking for a good a:to...something like 6ast 2to would make me happy tonight.

3. Has our outside shooting improved? And I'm not just talking about skykar...although I'll be very curious to see if he's shooting as well as its being rumored. I want to see Jordan, dmontre, josh, q, and trae all show that they have improved their perimeter shot.



IT'S BASKETBALL TIME IN TENNESSEE!!!

GO VOLS!!!

You took my three, Bleeder :) It will also be interesting to see if Jarnell is going to be as dominant as I think he'll be. I'd like to see Kenny out there til his butt is dragging, logging minutes.

1.) Has growing hair on his chin balanced Skylar's equilibrium to help him shoot the 3 ball at a higher percentage

2.) Will Murphy be wearing a mask

3.) Will the team run out to a Swiperboy song?

1. See someone create their own shot and score when the clock is running down.
2. Knock down outside shots.
3. Dominate the glass.

1. Consistent feeding the post.
2. Probably will see it tonight since it's an exhibition, but the crazy line ups that we saw last year minimized.
3. McBee only shooting set up 3's. No pick and roll shots, No create his own. I don't want to see him dribble at all then shoot.
4. McRae starting will be a good sign.

I want to see Jarnell get really physical and knock some people around in the post.

I want to see Jordan McRae take and make high quality shots.

I want to see absolute lockdown defense from our wing players.

1. How Jarnell dominates in the post.

2. How the rotation will be after the first five

3. And if Moore can come in at back up PG and controll the team and the game with no major mistakes.

3 things are really skewed by the fact that we are playing Victory. We should see...
1. Domination in the post
2. Wide open jumpers
3. Shut down on the defensive end

1) Trae's defense living up to that CBS article's hype;
2) Take it to the hoop, don't settle for jump shots, power it in
3) Good rotation with NO INJURIES!

Go Big Orange

I'm looking for a diamond in the rough. McCrae, Richardson and the handful of other guys in that same position. McCrae was a pretty highly rated guy, but he didn't have much bball IQ. Very athletic, but too skinny. Want to see if he can play heady.
Cuonzo signed a bunch of mid-major guys before landing Jarnell. I still think it a trod and plod team that will be lucky to get in the tourney. How these guys that play the 2 and 3 fair is going to make a big difference. Trae can score. Stokes can dominate. But you need playmakers at the 3. Especially if Maymon is out for a while and this injury is a bigger setback.
Want to see Kenny step up and be a man.

The trod and plod thing is getting a bit old. Check UT's adjusted tempo. They were 3rd in the SEC and were not that far behind UK nationally. This is a classic case of your perceptions overruling reality. Let the trod and plod thing go.
