The Official Tennessee @ #3 Kansas Game Thread, 4:00 PM ET, ESPN

[Voltopia]

Besides Vescovi, our freshmen have just killed us today

In all fairness, Vescovi is one of the least "freshmen" freshmen we've seen at Tennessee in a while.

 

[Lankykong]

Watched the replay 5 times and can't see a walk there. Not that it was in anyway a smart play by O.N.

It wasn’t. There was on Kansas before the turnover though, and probably a foul by them on the strip of Bowden

 

[RAVOL]

Nkamhou isn’t an SEC player and I’m not sure he’ll ever become one

Another ignorant post. He has Athletic ability and great strength and size. He just is not ready for this moment. Come back next year and let's see.

Pons is playing so hard tonight that just when he single handily gets us in striking distance, he needs a breather.

Pretty sure a lot of people said that about kyle Alexander too. My god give the guy a break, he’s a freshman. Lol

 

[sportsnut624]

I’d tell orn that when he touches the ball he either turns and shoots immediately or pass the ball out. He hesitates and then gets himself into trouble because he can’t think quick enough out there

 

[Zues1]

Be nice if we had a 7 footer that could play. Oh wait he's on the bench....apparently he's never played organized bb

 

[SandyO]

Because we need size and depth maybe ?

Oh ok. Thank you so much. That’s exactly what i was asking

 

[sechamp2012]

Really needed James to play well today

Did his GF breakup with him. He’s not been great this year but today is abysmal

They are playing scared.

And they’ve missed several walks on Kansas. Shocking, I know.

 

[Lankykong]

What does he do well?

Big body, athletic. You act like guys can’t learn ball skills. Remember what you thought of Alexander as a Freshman or Fulkerson as a Sophomore? I think you were down on them too

When has he shown any of that?

 

[therealitytheory]

A suspicious person might think JJJ took KU and gave the points.

 

[1985Vols]

What does he do well?

He’s looked good at times this year. He has nice touch on his shot. i really think he’ll be a good player on a couple years

 

[Tnfan1971]

Thier big man wouldnt het off another shot..I would foul him everytime

 

[Ace]

We need something from Johnson or James if we have any chance of winning. A couple of JJ threes would really help

 

[KB5252]

Everybody saying we'll be fine next year, that help is on the way. Not sure I want to depend on freshmen to lead the team.

 

[DocVOLiday]

good defense by bowden

 

[Tnfan1971]

Make him make freethrows

 

[Lankykong]

When has he shown any of that?

Um, when he was measured, he was tall. He also jumps high. You don’t have to show athleticism in a game to have it

 

[zjcvols]

Pretty sure a lot of people said that about kyle Alexander too. My god give the guy a break, he’s a freshman. Lol

Alexander averaged a block per game in 12 minutes his freshman year you at least saw a good shot blocker

 

[SandyO]

It’s another warm body

True. But a houseplant could guard as well as he does.

 

[1985Vols]

Gotta love Fulky! 110% all the time

 

[hUTch2002]

I thought the KU double dribbled at halfcourt but I’d have to see it again to know for sure.
