Got to love Barnes. He never stops barking on the sideline.

Where are the ON haters?

Not a hater and not a lover.

Truth is that he is not the guy you want shooting that shot but thankfully he has made those two 3-balls.

 

[VolGee4]

I would say our KenPom defensive efficiency is going to take a bit of a hit after this type of run and gun game lol.

Maybe a little but it’s adjusted to the opponent. If we hold them to less than their average, then it really won’t.

 

[allvol123]

“Letting them play” then that BS offensive foul on ZZ. Get your heads out of your ass refs.

 

[TennVols12]

What’s up with the head string Kerr?

Gf’s tampon for good luck

 

[Vols till I fall]

Everyone trash talks Nkahmoua but he is good.

He was a big player for us last year b4 he went down

 

[ndubvols]

ON is a solid stretch 4 that can guard bigs. He gets in trouble when he tries to maneuver in the post game. Has a nice jumper though

 

[The Dog]

Ecstatic, right now. Defense is doing what they do, offense looks good, especially the 3

 

[DC_Vol]

So far, I think we are winning the battle in the paint, which I did not expect.

Got to step up on the D. The 3 point average will revert toward the mean.

Barns

That was a classic “white guy hustle Duke” type charge if ive ever seen one

 

[TennTom]

A pretty complete game by us thus far. Exciting basketball by both teams.

 

[VolArmy74]

I certainly hope we keep this up

I'll be shocked if we do, so I hope we get up big for when the hard times come. That said, yes, I'd much prefer if we just keep making shots.

 

[camp_steveo]

If the Vols keep it up I might just stay up and watch this one!

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Where are the ON haters?

Here. He hit a couple shots, nice. Now go be strong in the paint and catch the damn post up.

 

[TennVols12]

Good start all things considered. Gotta keep closing out and contesting. They will jack a ton of 3’s

That’s our strategy lol

 

[patrick]

Love how Mashack(sp) gets above the screen.

 

[TheBigOne10]

Olivier shooting well!

[TooLegit2Quit]

I know our shooting will even out, hopefully the officiating does. We are playing well, playing tough.

 

[Larkin]

The numbers will equal out. We are pretty hot and they ain’t right now.
Liking what I’m seeing so far!
I also am not used to a fast start. We’re all so giddy right now

Plav is playing well minus the chest bump, we need him to Produce tonight

 

[gregmaynard2]

Not a hater and not a lover.

Truth is that he is not the guy you want shooting that shot but thankfully he has made those two 3-balls.

He shot 45% from 3 last season before getting hurt. He needs to take 2-4 a game

 

[TheBigOne10]

Julian can’t buy a bucket

 

[chuckb1448]

How was That a foul?
