Lol, we are 82% from FT line.

Shows we aren’t really that bad at shooting

 

[TheBigOne10]

Good win! Man I bet you guys who had money on the -7 were nervous as heck lol

 

[Bigorange123]

Sweet shot by fulky,money!!!

There’s a football game today?

I can't believe they did that. Not sure if it's UT or the local radio's doing. I live in Kingsport

 

[Voltopia]

Never panicked, never got too disorganized, worked through the mistakes, and exerted their will at the end to settle things. I know the misses worry some folks but I feel like we're going to be pretty damn happy with this year's team.

 

[CAVPUT]

One more thing before switching to football. In crunch time at the end of the game when teams are fouling, Vescovi needs to go balls to the wall getting that basketball in his hands. He's too passive. Get moving and get the ball.

 

[PulaskiVolFan]

What was the point spread? Some of you need to quit thinking that you can beat Vegas, them boys are pretty good when it comes to this sport.

 

[ButchPlz]

We didn’t play good at all and still got the win.

Imagine when we start playing a complete game? We’ll be scary.

For real. A team with no practice with two tough wins against real schools? Zero to complain about.

-7

 

[Rickyvol77]

This felt like a NCAA tourney game. Great win

 

[VolsSportsFan]

If only I could see what some guy who was LOLing about us losing is saying right now.

 

[Freak]

Didn't shoot well, but pulled out a win. 2-0! Go Vols!

 

[sportsnut624]

Defense and free throw shooting will win a lot of games. Great win and good opportunity now to build some cohesion with the next couple games

He is moving, he's just not that fast.

Is cincy good? It is so hard to tell because of our poor offense play

Won their conference last year, and we had only beaten them once before.

2-0 over quality teams I like this team’s upside

 

[RAVOL]

2 games were a good opponent has not reached 60 and we are still learning to play together on D bodes well this year. Offense will come around. In CHRIST Alone

 

[ColinS]

If James doesn't hesitate to pass the ball to vescovi we wouldn't be reviewing this

Way way too early to declare this but at least initially I have seen little improvement from James from last year. I really expected him to hit the next level and maybe he still will.

 

[sechamp2012]

We win
Kentucky loses 4th time already
great day so far
BEAT VANDERBILT Footballers

 

[TrumpedUpVol]

Obviously.

It's the second game. We've got a lot of new faces out there getting a lot of minutes and they missed a bunch of practice. We'll be ok. It's the second game.

I'm 100% on board with the notion that Cincinnati having an additional eighty minutes of game time (not to mention the practice time that we'd be guessing on) this early in the season is a huge boon, but this excuse is going to vanish by January so I do hope a lot of what ails Tennessee can truly be attributed to CU/UC being more battle-tested.

 

[ninerplaya57]

I don’t think I have any nails left after I bet Vols -7. I just can’t believe they covered after shooting so poorly

Picked 4th in AAC. I would guess they are a fringe tournament team.

I think the line was 7 or 8.

 

[peerless98]

66-58 Vols

Winner!! Do you get a gift card?

 

[VolsSportsFan]

I can't believe they did that. Not sure if it's UT or the local radio's doing. I live in Kingsport

Everyone knows pregame Vol calls for a 2-6 Vols team playing an 0-8 Vandy team is more important than our 12th ranked men's team.

[UTK]

2-0
