Recruiting Forum Football Talk IV

[Jimmy Football]

Lots of things resulted in a poor performance today and potentially cost us the win. And none of those things was JJJ (he really didn't commit a foul at the end, I think it was a make-up call).

Texas's game plan was clearly to shut down Vescovi. And they did that very well. He couldn't get anything going, and missed really the only open look he had all night at the end.

We were fairing well in the first half without Vescovi being effective - because our bigs were getting rebounds and scoring. ONk disappeared in the second half. He would also put himself in great position to score but would finish poorly at the rim.

Fulky... I have no idea what is going on with him. He's not been the inside presence this team desperately needs. He hasn't been right since having Covid, and now I'm beginning to wonder if he's burning out at this point. I hope he's got another wind in him to emerge at the right time for the postseason. As with many games this season... had we had a consistent presence in the paint I think we'd have had a different scoreline.

I think he did foul, but it kills me when refs swallow their whistle for 15 minutes, just to gag it back up for the last 90 seconds.

JJJ got the ball with 3 seconds, he had enough time for a pass to vescovi right beside him. But obviously with time running down he’s not looking to pass

You are expecting us to pass the ball in…. Give the ball back…. Drive and pass it back to JJJ…. JJJ look at the clock and think shoot I still have 3 seconds and spot vescovi in the corner for the three…. That would be some other worldly court awareness.

ZZ is better than Chandler at this point and should be the starter going forward.

Why is this even a debate? They both bring a lot to the table, they are both good and they both get minutes

 

[engineerVOL]

Stop it

 

[drvenner]

Yes?

Are you retarded user volbeast33 from the internet?

Resorting to name calling is a sure fire tactic when you are losing the argument

 

[Tennessee Golfer]

How did the university embarrass you?

You didn’t hear? That smokin’ hot babe was about to go home with him until she saw his UT wrist band. Oh and the time he was about to be hired to that amazing job until they saw the UT bumper sticker on his car.

 

[backdoorcutvol]

Set a play for the worse 3pt shooter on the team to take the last shot.

No way Santi was getting open and Ziegler taking it to basket had a good chance to get blocked with his size

 

[drvenner]

I don't care anymore. This university has embarrassed me for long enough.

Don't let it hit you

 

[volbeast33]

They tend to let some reach ins go when it comes to ball handling and blow the whistle more when you reach in on shots…. I thought the officials called a really good game…. No complaints at all.

 

[Dudley Smith]

That game was like watching a Kevin O’Neil team play a Cuonzo Martin team.

You said there wasn’t enough time. That’s simply not correct. Like I said, don’t fault JJJ for taking the shot and 99% of players wouldnt think twice about shooting it. But there was 100% enough time to for another 10 foot pass

 

[engineerVOL]

Let’s all light a fart in remembrance of the impending ban hammer for Chattown.

I think they helped us, for the record. Just not in the last minute.

 

[VolGee4]

one of the most inconsistent teams in cbb

good bye…

 

[Smokey123]

Reminder: 6 losses to 6 top 18 KenPom teams

And?

 

[VolGee4]

With the officiating, you just cannot care as much as you normally would.

You go to the hole as fast as can on the last possession. Not a fan of taking a three with two fast G's and only down one.

I agree, but he was wide open.

 

[volfanCLT]

Can’t complain about the last shot or the heart and mental toughness of this team.

Can’t make that many dumb mistakes the first 35 minutes and expect to come away with a win on the road against a solid team.

Should have been a W.

We should make the tournament…. Only thing that matters is what we do once we make it there.

Just stop dude I realize you have an opinion and you like being heard, but 99% of the time you take that shot because the shooter has no idea how many seconds are left on the clock unlike fans who sit at home and watch from their couch. Just understand that your opinion is wrong

 

[Nash_Vol97]

The cringe doesn’t stop

 

[VolGee4]

And?

We’ve played a very tough schedule. People in the Basketball Forum are acting like we won’t make the tournament. We have some ignorant people who follow basketball.

100% disagree

Lol what. I literally just said 99% of players are shooting that ball and expected him to

If CRG is right and Jenkins grows into a gamer, prolly at DT, his commitment will be tonight's highlight.
