Man get it inside 7 and put some pressure on the to see how they react.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

Someone defend that JJJ sh**.

This may be the worst ball handling team in Tennessee history. I’ve never seen a team that literally cannot dribble the ball up the court like this one

 

[zaqhhh]

The sad thing is how pathetic we have been in our guards AND our post

Like you'd think we would have a strength but not today.

 

[vavolfan6]

Everytime we get close to cutting into the lead we shoot ourselves in the foot...all game

 

[tnvols72]

please take JJJ out , he is horrible.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Off FSU foot there, playing bad offensively & no breaks going our way.

Now I get why Barnes added a true PG though. James seems uncomfortable running point.

 

[aurabass]

Isn’t

Isn’t an excuse to play sloppy and Bowden who has been here 4 years to not have confidence to shoot. We should be doing better.

Bowden has taken 6 3's made 1 and is 2 for 9 the 2nd most shots for Vols in the game

Sure does need a lot of work in practice on that and shooting too.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

FSU has been nice enough to give us about 57 different opportunities to come back, but we find a way on the offensive end of the court every possession to do something really dumb. We've beat ourselves tonight, plain and simple. So many dumb mistakes.

 

[vols 30]

No way James can play point guard

Neither can Turner, but those 2 are really the only options right now

 

[Voltopia]

It's a good thing basketball isn't about handling and dribbling the ball with skill.

 

[JoAllan]

You won’t win much, even against just average teams while having 20 turnovers.

[Big Orange#1]

JJJ isn't any good

 

[1985Vols]

Neither can Turner, but those 2 are really the only options right now

Sad but true

 

[chad954ut]

Only one point guard on the team ? How did Barnes let this happen ?

 

[neostig]

What time is the loser bracket game?

 

[VOLSDB]

Was it not off fsu instead of james?

 

[VOLED]

Bowden has completely disappeared. I was hoping he had gotten past that.

 

[TJ1985]

Only one point guard on the team ? How did Barnes let this happen ?

Our lack of depth at the 1 and the 5 is very concerning.

 

[1985Vols]

At least we don't have to worry about JJJ being a one and done player

 

[whodeycin85]

I love the passion of Tennessee fans. But some of you all are doom and gloom ignorant

I don't think we even knew what our strength is or if we have a strength right now. I find it rather amazing we are not down 35 pts right now.
