The Official #22 Tennessee vs. Butler Game Thread, 7:30 PM ET, ESPN2

[tdd]

Butler is keeping us in this game.

 

[OrangeInKy]

God I hope not

He attended the Mike Leach school of "throw your players under the bus, but do it in a way that makes you look like the odd, funny guy"

 

[patrick]

FUGLY. FUGLY.

 

[Caz]

The bball team looks like Vol's football secondary

God forbid!

 

[SlyStone]

Is Key athletic enough for major conference basketball? Looks a little overmatched at times.

I was thinking the same thing. Not sure how he will fair in SEC competition.

 

[GBO18]

Good take Mashack.

 

[VolunteerCeltic]

Finally a lead

 

[tnvols72]

We back lol

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Mashack with a nice drive!

 

[Volprofch05]

Imagine how much we’d be winning by if we could shoot

 

[hUTch2002]

0-6 from 3

Hey, at least we haven’t shot 20 of them like usual.

 

[TrapVol]

By season’s end, I predict Mashack and Phillips will be a big chunk of our offense.

 

[CAVPUT]

Gotta say I'm liking the lineup with Mashack and Phillips. Length and athleticism galore.

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

Mashack has some offense. Just needs to add an outside shot.

 

[Creeker]

Mashack has the physical tools. If he puts it all together he could be a handful. Hopefully he does and sooner than later.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Maschack looks so much better this year. The one dude who looks like he has improved in the off-season.

 

[firestorm]

Butler Head Coach seems happy that Tennessee leads by 1 currently.

 

[therealitytheory]

Wow...leading with JJJ out and Vescovi and Key not scoring.

 

[Vol737]

Mashack has made that little reverse layup a couple of times now. Nice. Butler doesn’t seem to want to defend it.

 

[hUTch2002]

We have a lot of individual talent that is trying to figure out how to play together.

 

[JCP201]

Gotta say I'm liking the lineup with Mashack and Phillips. Length and athleticism galore.

Came on to say the same.

 

[The Dog]

Maybe Mashack is our get to the basket guy, 2 great drives that ended with reverse lay-ups

 

[ColinS]

Mashack and Phillips have to play a lot especially if James is out. They are big time athletes that can create a little.

 

[OrangeInKy]

The bball team looks like Vol's football secondary

Uros is playing the part of Hadden. The guy won't shut up and has been running his mouth at Butler's guys all game

 

[Orangeblooded615]

Mashack carving a role.
