big early win

Great game by the roundballers today! Taking down a top 25 team today....Outstanding effort.

Barnes has done a tremendous job developing his players.

I think this team will surprise a lot of people during Tournament time.

 

[JoAllan]

Fulky and Pons’s development has been amazing.

I knew Fulk would be alright (although I didn’t know if he would be enough or not). However I was not sold on Pons after how he finished the season.

This team starting right where they left off on offense, and looking good on D.

They are very efficient on O. If they can clean up some turnovers, man this team could be special.

Barnes was worth every penny he got, no matter what happens. He can get a lot out of anything I think (once he has his system going).

 

[PulaskiVolFan]

This team reminds me of the good Villanova teams led by strong physical guard play. If Bowden can continue to be aggressive and physical, if Turner and Fulky hold up physically I think we're a 20+ win team this year and someone nobody will want to face come tournament time. James is gonna be a big factor once we start lining up against some of the better veteran teams, I think he's gonna be arguably our most important player by the end of the season.

 

[RavinDave]

Impressive performance by this team today. They were in control from start to finish against a ranked team with a lot of talent. Barnes had them ready.

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

It's a huge step to get to
the NCAAT.

 

[sechamp2012]

7 players was surprising & scoring 14,15,16 &18 pretty balanced very surprising

 

[VolsSportsFan]

Man charge your phone!

 

[EZE]

Incredible start to the season. Would like to see, if anything, more minutes from the bench.

 

[Lefteye]

Nkamhoua played much better than his stats show. I thought he took a huge step today even without the numbers to back it up

 

[VolZen]

Yes, he gave us a physical presence against the big guy from Washington who gave Fulk problems early in the game.

I agree. Several times bodied up against their 250 lb. post and stood his ground well.

For us to play like this so early in the year w so many new roles I think it bodes we’ll down the stretch

Hey Texas, hows the Shaka Smart workin for ya

 

[golfballs]

If JJJ gets going watch out. Glad there’s not a ton of pressure on him and he can develop

 

[Tstormtrooper]

uh. Who did i just watch beat washington. who are those kids. can kids change that much in an off season. WOW

 

[golfballs]

I do hope that we can get some good contribution from the bench.

 

[TJVol95]

Need to shoot free throws better. That will bite us later.

He makes it look so effortless, I think that is why some don’t think he is very good.

He seriously puts you to sleep. He just does his thing and you hardly notice.

 

[i2amavol]

When you hold other teams to 63 or less, you should be able to win a lot of games, especially when you have a roster than has a lot people who can score. Our top 5 scorers had 9 points or more. That kind of balance is hard to shut down.

 

[JoAllan]

They really do

Although they shot it well in this game at just over 79%.......hopefully it’s a start that will continue.

 

[Caculator]

He (JJJ) has this move where he dribbles right handed towards the top of the key from the left wing. As soon as he gets overplayed by the man guarding him he spins to his left and has a wide open 10' shot.

 

[cncchris33]

Need to shoot free throws better. That will bite us later.

I mean, 19-24 is pretty dang good. Near 80% as a team.

 

[Catbone]

Our starters are very good but if we get into foul trouble I don't like our chances on the bench. Don't have depth like last year
