The Official #10 Tennessee vs. Appalachian State Game Thread, 7:00 PM ET, SEC Network

Really wish we would have gotten that Gonzaga game in.

Not me. With all the lack of preparation we had, it could have started us on the wrong foot. That said, I do wish we were playing them sometime next week.

23 point lead seems low...

WE LET THEM OFF THE HOOK!!!

 

[Roustabout]

With as big of arms as Pons has, you would think his shots would not come up short like they have tonight.

He needs to pump fake that shot and take it to rim. I don’t think this team made it to the free throw line in the 1st half.

 

[Dallasbowlin]

Just makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside lol. Great half.

 

[VolforFootball]

uh, what?

He’s right.

 

[GoBigOrangeUT]

Our transition offense leaves a lot to be desired. With as many turnovers as we cause, it would be nice to score off of them.

This broadcast is a Tennessee love fest. Now I know how Kentucky feels.

Jimmy Dykes loves himself some Tennessee basketball

Vescovi has to get better in transition

 

[Creeker]

47 percent from the field is much improved. However, 18 percent from deep is not.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

App State is 18.2% FG & 0% from 3

 

[volsarelife1]

He’s right.

Except he's not right. Only 1 turnover

 

[Power T-Rev]

You know this game is going well when the game thread has guys griping about the tiniest of things

 

[JoAllan]

While the competition is certainly not as strong as the previous two games.......the Vols are taking care of business.......and looking good doing it.

The D has looked really good through 2 games.......the D looks freakin amazing tonight.

Also that “small” lineup they put out there is very athletic and will cause problems for some teams.

I love having Keon and Jaden out there at the same time

 

[IndianapolisVol]

This bunch has 3 physically stronger J Richardsons AND the best defensive player in the league, I think it'll end up being this squad.

I agree, this team is more athletic and will be better but people forgot how solid the ‘13-14 squad was defensively. That team never had an opponent score more than 75 points on them despite having one of the hardest schedules in the country.

 

[VolforFootball]

Vescovi leads a lot to be desired. I have a feeling he still isn’t “quite there” yet. But I think he will be soon.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Keon already has 3 steals.

I was being sarcastic, meant to have blue font lol

 

[PulaskiVolFan]

Nope. View attachment 330811

That's just when the cameras are on! He plays hard, I expect him to grimace from time to time.

My bad. Carry on then lol

 

[RAVOL]

Defense really good. As Vader would say IMPRESSIVE quite IMPRESSIVE but you are not a Jedi yet. We will be a Jedi when we improve on Offense. In CHRIST Alone

 

[MoCo_Vol]

The 3 ball will come, thing is playing hard defensively takes the legs away on jumpers. Guys will play themselves into shape better and we’ll see the jumpers start falling.

BVS at its best!!!!

 

[Lankykong]

Keon already has 3 steals.

sick. That first one was just like palming the ball away from another guy, super smooth

 

[Lankykong]

I had to miss the last 6-8 min or so due to a conference call, but it sounds like I missed some cool steals. Least I saw the Fulk steal and finish.
