The Official #22 Tennessee vs. Southern Cal Game Thread, 1:30 PM ET, ESPN2

[beachvol23]

Key has nearly turned into Victor Bailey. Now he keeps shooting 3s when he’s cold as ice. His play over the last several games has been disappointing.

Umm he was 1-5 and shot better than Vesco and ZZ, but what I was referring to is that off ball he looked very unsure what to do, and it hurt our flow, except when we went to Phillips in middle first.

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

disappointing to a degree. His defense is pretty good and he seems to play under control. The shots will come hopefully

I agree. He’s still getting back into the flow after sitting out for two seasons.

Umm he was 2-7 today and was 2-9 in the Colorado loss. At least he didn’t go something like 1-19 from 3 like VJ tended to do.

He was 1-5 on 3’s

Julian Phillips is probably the most ready/polished 5 star player Barnes has had so far Tennessee

He's days and nights ahead during this time of the year opposed to what Chandler was

I would like to understand why Mashack didn’t play much in the second half. He played really well in the first half and was on the bench for nearly the entire second half.
Also didn’t like our OT lineup at the beginning with ORN and Aidoo and no Key - especially against their zone.

They were trying to attacke the center of that zone. I just wish they had tried to drive at heir centers and found them both our in OT.

I think he is still knocking off some of the rust not playing for as long as she has.

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

He was 1-5 on 3’s

His 2s weren’t from mid range.

 

[Vols till I fall]

If Mashack can develop an outside game that will be so deadly.

He almost reminds of Josh Richardson without the jump shot

Kansas has won their last 17 games. Including all of them in their conference tournament AND the NCAAT.

I mentioned the same thing in #702. Pretty much two entire seasons.

I agree that he's very polished for this point in the season. Raw talent and athleticism coming out his ears. If he can strengthen up a little bit and get even more polished he'll be unstoppable. I mean you can feel this kid is on the edge of greatness.

KC was averaging 16ppg+ in the first 7 games last year, he stalled once we hit SEC play and he wasn’t able to blow by his defender anymore.

I think Julian & KC have both been the most NBA ready 5 stars so far though.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Just a reminder though, this team is inexperienced (especially without JJJ) so a lot of learning is happening right now too.

Win or lose, I really like this team. Go Vols!

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

And he was 1-2 on those

I know. I can do math.

Didn’t he miss two (or 3) in the same possession near the end of regulation?

 

[VolsSportsFan]

Who could we be playing tomorrow?

We will be playing Kansas.

 

[JCP201]

The defending national champions.

Good game to see where we are at as a team.
