Guys, Did Kentucky win I dont remember

You talking about Saturday or tonight?

 

[Lefteye]

Pons kept us from getting blown out in the 1st half. Love the second half switch.

He’s gotta stop hitting his eyebrow on the rim though.

 

[Stoked]

If we can get that kind of consistent play from Yves Pons, we should alright. His best game as a Vol.

Our fans have given him a lot of **** so I’m glad to see him playing the way he is. He’s much better at the 4 compared to being out on the wing.

And Memphis loses? Brilliant night

Alabama loses Saturday. We beat UK.

LV beats Notre Dame yesterday.

We win tonight, and UK and Memphis loses.

I like this day as much as Stanley Hudson likes Pretzel Day.

 

[JoAllan]

Tennessee shoots 50% for the game and about 55% from 3.

Tennessee out rebounded ST 24 to 10 in the second half.

Tennessee had 21 assists vs 8 turnovers, and they had 6 blocks.

Both

Great win, bad time to call Turner a draft pick. He's got to be at least some threat to score. Great job distributing the ball, but he missed some really good looks, and some weren't even close.

Neither Bowden or Turner are 1-2 round draft picks.

 

[tn88volfan]

Pons and Fulky improvements

 

[Lefteye]

Its been a great few days. Alabama football loses, Kentucky basketball loses, Memphis basketball loses........and Tennessee football and basketball wins. Throw in the Lady Vols too.

Remember the Titans

 

[Shaun1985]

Kentucky gets beat
Memphis gets beat
Tennessee wins

Uh huh. Everyday should feel this good.

 

[JoAllan]

Like I had said.....State WILL NOT continue to hit 3’s at 55%.....they finished at 39%.

Tennessee was just fine on the O all game (although the first half was an ugly O), all they had to do was keep it up and get aggressive on the boards.......they did just that

And stomped a mud hole in State during the second half.

 

[Stoked]

Neither Bowden or Turner are 1-2 round draft picks.

People used to say the same thing about Grant, Bone, and Admiral....

Oh and Florida BBall lost Sunday.

 

[IPleadInsanity]

When they discuss halftime adjustments, thats exactly what they are talking about. Textbook. Two different teams.

 

[Shaun1985]

Oops LOL

Not me.

 

[Ace]

Barnes did a lot of experimenting in 1st half with rotation. Only played 7 in second.
Turner played most of game, maybe whole game. We need James to be able to play point some to give LT a blow.

 

[therealitytheory]

Murray State would whup Evansville's ass.

 

[Larkin]

Tennessee shoots 50% for the game and about 55% from 3.

Tennessee out rebounded ST 24 to 10 in the second half.

Tennessee had 21 assists vs 8 turnovers, and they had 6 blocks.

1 turnover in the second half.

 

[JoAllan]

No matter their down low “size”

“If” Tennessee continues to be this efficient on O, and continues to attack the boards (like the second half not the first), they should be pretty good this season.

I guess they did gel quick, during that halftime Barnes azz chewing.

 

[walkenvol]

but he missed some really good looks, and some weren't even close.

Cmon man, you’ve watched basketball before - some nights the ball just doesn’t fall. LT’s been scoring consistently for 3 years and will continue to score well in most of his games this season

I said it's great....to be...a Tennessee Volunteer!

NBA Mock Draft - NBADraft.net

They have Bowden in the 2nd here. Watch and see man. Bowden will get drafted and if Turner keeps distributing the ball the way he has and can show that he can play the point he’ll get drafted too. He is a lockdown defender.

J Rich too. We’re two games in, let him have it for now.

Agree. Turner can’t play 39 minutes every game
