Is the team just toying with us at this point?

[Other_Guy]

I've never seen anything like it.

 

[landscapingvol]

No, they just aren't good offensively and half of the starters aren't SEC level starters

 

[white65]

Fulky has regressed...

 

[VolsSportsFan]

I think it turns out we were just overrated.

JJJ is. Johnson is. Springer is. Pons is. So that is not it.

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

Fulky has regressed...

He is not 100% either

If they don’t show up defensively every single night this can happen with how inconsistent the offense

 

[Namorto1]

Our half court offense really struggles. Fulky is a shell of himself and we shoot too inconsistently from the perimeter. The previous 2 games we were able to run but you can’t run if you are constantly pulling the ball out of the bottom of the net. We never stopped LSU’s offense. They stopped themselves at times with bad shots. Overall just not a good effort on either end.

 

[BowlBrother85]

I keep hearing that Fulkerson is hurt. Whatever is the case, he has been a no show this season. This team doesn't shoot well, and they haven't been able to play well in back to back games. That doesn't give much hope for the postseason does it?

On a separate note... and maybe it's sour grapes for how much he has worn us out, but Smart getting to expend 3 years of eligibility with what has been publicly established for 23 months now (Wade's strong ass offer) is a bunch of crap.

 

[cooterbob]

it sucks being a Tennessee fan, maybe baseball or softball will do something. Do we have hockey or wrestling.

Hockey, yes.

 

[cooterbob]

Hockey, yes.

Really, I have never heard of sec hockey.

 

[CAVPUT]

JJJ is. Johnson is. Springer is. Pons is. So that is not it.

And those parts are pretty much interchangeable. Not one is a true big man. Not one is a true PG. Not one is a killer from the 3pt line.

 

[BeecherVol]

He is not 100% either

He and Pons as well.

And there are nothing but role players (on a good day) behind them.

We don't match up well with LSU either.

 

[Lankykong]

Hopefully we pull a reverse Rick and play really well in the tournament instead of the regular season

Lol wut

Bailey has crashed and burned

 

[BeecherVol]

Maybe. More inconsistent at this point.

They have looked top 10 good at times and UR at others.

Lot of weight on Springer and Johnson right now. They have been good more often than not but they need some help.

It’s a Club team

 

[cardvolfan]

LSU was 20-31 from 2-point range. Too much easy penetration. You’ll rarely win in that situation.

 

[HollowaytoSeivers]

Really, I have never heard of sec hockey.

I think it's considered a club sport, which I believe means you're playing for love of the game and not competing for an NCAA championship. Please someone clarify this for me if I am off base.

 

[CAVPUT]

Same for Vescovi. Not sure how we can rest Fulk, Vescovi and Pons yet still win enough to maintain our seeding. It's just a shame Barnes hasn't been able to develop and get the minutes for the backups to at least contribute something. So many bodies on that bench that can do absolutely nothing to help us. Plavsic, Bailey, Nkamhoua, Pember, Anosike, Gaines....that's half the roster that's basically useless. Just crazy.

Southeastern Collegiate Hockey Conference.

 

[BowlBrother85]

Bailey has crashed and burned

He is playing with no confidence right now, and he appears to be one of those guys that when his shot isn't falling, it impacts every part of his game. He is a backcourt player who played 25 minutes today... but only had 1 assist.

I agree and i wish someone would kick ole Dykes in the nut sack when he starts that F4 E8 talk. Not that into projections but the preseason for this team was 7 losses. After we revised the schedule and beat Colorado it jumped to 4 and Dykes started his BS. Getting as bad as Vitale to listen to.
