At least early on we appear to be getting the Junior year version of JJJ.Ton of good tonight. Knecht is obvious.
Foul trouble took Vescovi out early. He never forced anything. Was 2-4 from the field, so he knew he didn't need to be taking a lot of shots. He scrapped out 4 boards and played excellent defense in the second half.
Aidoo was excellent. Wisconsin is a big banger team and he played probably more than Barnes planned because Awaka got in early foul trouble too. 5/8 from the floor, never took any really bad shots, played solid D and led the team in rebounds.
Awaka only played 12 minutes, but they were big minutes. 6 points, 4 when they were breathing down our neck and the offense was in a rough spot. And 6 boards.
Excellent game for JJJ. He did everything. 14 on 4/8 shooting, 6 boards. Solid defense.
ZZ and Mashack struggled, 2/8 from the floor. Last year if we had those two struggle and only got 5 from Vescovi, we probably get blown out.
We have a realistic chance to win the Maui. The euphoria in here will be unparalleled if that happens! It’s going to be a fun winter!Wisconsin played tough. That was a very good road win.
I’m most excited about how our players from last year are performing at a higher level. It appears that greater talent has taken the pressure off of some and they are playing loose. JJJ for one was way more assertive this game. It’s good to see.
This is just game four counting the exhibition games. This team will get better. SV and ZZ are not playing their best ball yet.
The Maui International will be a huge test. Can’t wait to see how we perform. It’s great to be a Tennessee Volunteer. GBO!
First 7 minutes they 0 fouls and we had 5. I'm sure CRB pointed that out rather forcefully....seemed like the calls evened out thereafter.Only got to watch a good bit of the second half after i saw the Utube link. Had to watch less sound. Sooooooo, need to know, did anybody else think there was a lot of head scratching calls and no calls during that portion? Seems like they got by with a lot of contact that brought whistles on our defensive end. Especially on drives to the basket. Just ORANGE colored glasses on my part or not?
