The Official #20 Tennessee vs. Alabama State Game Thread, 7:00 PM ET, SEC Network+

[LampVol]

This wasn't a typical game. The refs must have had an early dinner reservation or a flight to catch. They didn't want to call anything early. I saw several obvious traveling violations slide. Certainly none of the foul every possession nonsense either. Unfortunately they won't be able to call most games like that or else the players will yank off each other's shoes and beat each other over the head with them. Long story short... I'm not getting too excited that Fulk avoided foul trouble. I'll wait and see what happens versus a competent opponent with Doug Shows blowing his whistle. BTW, is TV Teddy still active?

TV Teddy is still at it, saw him on TV working a game at Florida a couple of weeks ago.

If Pember can draw 5 fouls every 8 minutes opponents can push Pember around all day long.

Someone find that thread where the guy said Pember would never play and was a wasted scholarship

That's who he reminds me of. Kept thinking he looks like someone I know. Thank you.

Gains at 122 pounds is already about to pass Johnson on the depth chart on the wing.

I wasn’t able to watch much of the game last night. I see Turner only played 27 min. Who ran the point when he was out?

JJJ and I thought he looked more comfortable running point

JJJ. Gaines brought the ball into the front court a few times, but he was the off guard when he did that.

How did JJJ do

How did JJJ do

Steady. Still too unselfish. At one point he had the ball under the basket on the block and gave it up to somebody on the other side of the lane in the same spot.

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

And his flat outside shot isn't falling.

How did JJJ do

Had 13 rebounds, and you didn’t even notice until you saw the stats later.

Handled the ball well (looked better this game).

Other than his shot he looked good all game.

He did offer up his back while handling the ball up high a bit too much (not necessarily a problem, but I don’t like it).
