✴️ #18/17 Tennessee vs Mercer Game Thread (SECN+ 7:00pm)

[Franklin_Vol09]

Ament is extremely smooth

 

[Freak]

Cade with the monster swat!

 

[theroyz71]

Get that ish outta here.

 

[RockyTop140]

Nice move Ament, gotta finish

 

[LucidZ]

Nice change of hands at the rim by Gillespie.

 

[Franklin_Vol09]

I like the current lineup

 

[TheBigOne10]

Atta boy Carey

 

[Real Info]

I’m sure Boswell is a great kid but it’s obvious we are playing down a man on offense when he is out there.

 

[Unimane]

#77 is the lefty Bishop Boswell. We really need Burg to step up. This backcourt is concerning.

 

[Chris4Vols22]

Someone's gotta hook Burg up with a good barber/stylist.

 

[Freak]

33-21 at the half.

 

[Hbg]

That was a sorry, sorry half of basketball

 

[DooleyOrangePants]

The young guys are going to get their first in-season Barnes butt chewing for some of that sloppy play.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Only thing about these smaller school games, always seems like the refs let the little guys be more physical.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

Probably should be up a lot more. Need to stop being sloppy with the ball, too many turnovers.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

First half was not surprising. You always hope to see a more crisp open to the season, but the slop was to be expected. Lots of flashes of potential mixed in with the turnovers and poor outside shooting.

 

[Freak]

I didn't realize Carey had 8 rebounds in 8 minutes (also had 3 turnovers). Estrella leads the team with 8 points.

Mercer shot 21% from the field.

 

[Volfan2012]

We finally got it going totally dominated the boards and shot 50 percent. 11 turnovers was the ugly part way to many against this type team.

 

[OrangeCola]

very ugly 12 point lead. I expect Barnes to light them up in the lockerroom and they'll come out and dominate the 2nd half

 

[Hbg]

He's terrible

X 10

 

[Larkin]

Definitely can see why ament was so highly rated. He’s smooth.
Glaring weakness this year. No 3 pt shooter.
Who are opposing teams scared of? Gillespie with the airball to finish the half?

 

[TheBigOne10]

Just too many turnovers. But I see a clear commitment and change this year to go inside out. We are so much more formidable in the front court

 

[DooleyOrangePants]

I didn't realize Carey had 8 rebounds in 8 minutes (also had 3 turnovers). Estrella leads the team with 8 points.

Mercer shot 21% from the field.

Few of those were gimme’s on bad shots.

But - we missed a lot of those last year, so I’ll take them and be thankful.

 

[TheBigOne10]

#77 is the lefty Bishop Boswell. We really need Burg to step up. This backcourt is concerning.

What? That’s Amaree Abram and he’s a good role player/glue guy that’s infinitely better offensively than Boswell…..

We were 1-6 from 3-point range and JG took four of those.
