Wild stat for ya guys…

First 17 games Tennessee was 150/462 from 3 for 32.4%, which would rank 235th nationally.

Last 17 games Tennessee is 153/368 from 3 for 41.5%, which would rank 2nd nationally.

Maybe Barnes knew what he was talking about when he said this team could shoot and that he sees it everyday in practice. Here’s to hoping we don’t catch a cold one for about 5 more games, cause honestly if we hit 38%+ from 3, I don’t really see us losing. GBO!

How much closer are the percentages without JJJ? It was reported that he was considering putting the season on hold to opt for hand surgery.

Not much difference, across the board we are shooting better. Without JJJ in the picture the first half of the year it goes from 32.4% to 33.7%

Yep. Consistency is the big question mark here on out. We know the defense is going to show up every night to some degree of good or elite. It’s all about if we can keep the light on at the perimeter.

Maybe it’s a bad perception on my part, but it seems like at least once a game Vescovi has to chunk one up with the shot clock expiring which would make his 3 shooting percentage even more impressive if those were factored out.

It’s gotten better of late it seems but yea, he probably has more forced late clock 3’s than anyone.

Something I thought of yesterday as the game was winding down; Diboundje entered the game, seemingly ending the thought of the redshirt option, which kind of disappointed me. But then I started doing the math in my head. By winning the SECT, we played 3 games, bringing our season total to 33. Our game yesterday made it 34. Once the outcome was decided, and another game was guaranteed, it dawned on me why they played him. By earning an additional 5 games, he was allowed to play in another game and stay within that 20% threshold (7 of 35 games rather than 6 of 30).

Diboundje and Mashack are going to be a very lethal wing duo in a few seasons.

I hope so. Mashack still looks like a deer learning to walk a lot of times. Diboundje looks much more smooth and natural in his movements, but granted, it's a small sample size. I'd have liked to have seen him pull the trigger on the perimeter a couple times, yesterday, when the opportunity was there.

I’m not sold on Golden. I think there are better candidates out there especially for the Florida job

They must be extremely confident in him to move this quickly in it with the season still going. Feels like they could have taken a little more time and talked to some other candidates as teams begin to drop out of the tournament.

The key to the Michigan game will be rebounding. If we rebound well, we will win. We know our D will be there, and if we rebound missed shots to fuel our offense, then our offense will be there, too.
