    The Official “Regular Posters of the Basketball Forum” Thread

    This is much of what I'm thinking. Did Barnes want to win this game? Well of course, but I think he had some sub-goals too. This game reminds me of the NCAA game against Houston last year. We were coming off an emotional win against Kentucky, and we just didn't have the ability to rise to the...

    The Official #17 vs. #3 Houston Game Thread, 6:00 PM ET, TNT

    Today, we find out where we really are. Our scores thus far make us look like a top 10 team. Is it real or memorex. I'm betting it's real.

    Pearl on Broadcast yesterday

    Yeah, I knew it wasn't Johnson. Thought it might have been Howard Wood.

    Pearl on Broadcast yesterday

    I thought it was an exciting game. Problem was, we never had depth, and had to play our starters almost the entire game. For this reason (and maybe others), our defense suffered. They scored at will.

    Need New Basketball Radio Play by Play

    No. Just move one of them into the color guy position, and I am fine. I have listened to Mike Keith for one basketball game, and I thought he was fine. Chris Lofton was the problem. I am sure he is the best guy ever, it's just not his thing.

    Not Confident Vs. Houston.

    I dunno. I think having a lot of different pieces that we didn't have before might keep us from having the huge scoring droughts. We might play a lot of people, and perhaps play Ament more strategically than usual. I could be wrong, but I think we are now positioned better to play toe-to-toe...

    Rick Barnes: Estrella seems fine, but we’ll see

    I hope this is right. Could be a blessing in disguise: keeps him safe during pre-SEC games, and gives other guys a chance to shine.

    2026 Vols Basketball Target List

    Green = poor man's Magic Johnson? Ralph Scott = the next Nate Ament?

    Chris Lofton will join Mike Keith on The Vol Network for Tennessee basketball broadcasts this season

    I listened to a bit of the first half. It was like I was on there. Mike Keith had to coax him to talk, and even then he acted like he was surprised by the easy questions, and had to think it through. I hope he catches on soon. However, it just doesn't seem like his strong suit.

    The Official #20 Tennessee vs. North Florida Game Thread, 7:00 PM ET, SEC Network +

    I think Henderson is gonna be a very good player for us some day. Not saying he can't help this year, but the Boswell has played, I think he has earned the spot.

    Boswell and Ament both limited in practice

    Estrella has earned all the minutes he can handle. As for Carey & Brown, Carey has the experience, but not the talent. So, I don't see why you can't split their minutes pretty evenly until the talent wins out. All I know is, as fans it's a good problem to have. Someone will likely be...

    Boswell and Ament both limited in practice

    I think the 2 spot is Boswell's to lose. As long as he plays like the past 2 games, I'm pretty sure he will be the starter, if healthy. As for the big guys, I think they all play double digit minutes, although Estrella probably gets the most minutes. OK, Ament goes without saying. He's a big...
