not unless we get some height

Uros 7'1 will get better in year 2 so will Olivier.

 

[Schasz]

UT looks awful after playing KU a very good game. Fulky today looks like the player we saw all the time last year...over matched. Vols D down low in the 2nd half is a Joke. Don't see many wins left on the schedule.

 

[DocVOLiday]

was that a foul? didn't see bowden do much, but maybe I just missed it

 

[W.TN.Orange Blood]

The BasketVols look like they're going down in flames

Score please......

 

[golfballs]

That was a weak foul

Uros 7'1 will get better in year 2 so will Olivier.

I hope

 

[Lankykong]

Seemed like not a foul

Perry can push guys around but you’re not allowed to graze his forearm

 

[tnvols72]

Score please......

80-68

 

[OrangeBeachVol]

With going to AL next who plays well at home and 2 and 2 with KY/AU this season will not end well I'm afraid, Too much player adversity for this team, with limited talent, to overcome. I do think next yrs team will be better.

 

[Lankykong]

That should not have been a foul on Bowden in the backcourt, bad call. Didn’t matter though. This is what it looks like when you play bad enough that fouls don’t matter

 

[charleyhorse]

Well at least we won the diversity score.

 

[G0V0LS33]

Well let's just say we are not very good

 

[KnoxRealtorVOL]

Sucks to miss on the tourney but that lives up with realistic expectations for this year

 

[sportsnut624]

Why are we still fouling?

 

[KBVol]

15-16 win team. Nice to see Plavsic play his best offensive game, and Santiago had his
moments, but other than that nobody did much of anything. Fulky completely overmatched and our defense in the second half was atrocious. Just not nearly enough talent on this team. Those freshmen better be damn special next year.

 

[G0V0LS33]

Hope we hold on to the players we have committed

 

[minorvol]

I think with the Uros and Fulky coming back and the newcomers next year this team can be very dangerous. Outside shooting and driving to the basket will be much improved. Although I would love to add one more skilled big man.

Once Turner had dead shoulder we were done without massive luck (would have needed to luck out v Kansas and have games called absolutely fairly or a little TN biased)

 

[golfballs]

Hope we hold on to the players we have committed

Huh?

 

[vol94]

I was hoping my prognostication from two weeks ago would be incorrect, however, I’m not sure we can get to 17-18 wins. This team plays very hard but goes thru too many scoring droughts. Hopefully Barnes will develop some of these guys and NIT bound.

Still have two vs Ky, Arkansas, 2 vs Auburn, and Bama (not in that order).

 

[tnvols72]

fouling . lol

 

[Schasz]

Uros 7'1 will get better in year 2 so will Olivier.

They have to get better because we have 6'4" and 6'5" athletes signed I'm not aware Vols have any athletic bigs signed for next year. Hope we sign one even if it is a 5th year transfer.

 

[GBO18]

Huh?

He only follows football.

 

[DocVOLiday]

pretty sure this is the most amount of points we've let up this year. just scanning quickly, looks like the previous high against us was 80 vs uga
