The Official Tennessee vs. Western Carolina Game Thread, 7:00pm ET, FSS

[Volman10]

How many to's?

Way too many, especially Hall walking every time he goes to make a move.

 

[bleedingTNorange]

Winning AND style sell recruits. This offense will not win many meaningful games.

Did you watch any of our games last season?

We beat UCONN, Florida x2, Vandy, Wichita State...but you're right we won't win meaningful games.

Josh Pastner who many say runs a player friendly style has less meaningful wins in 4 years than Cuonzo did in his first year at UT.

 

[volbeast33]

Are you looking for kentuckyesque classes when you say great?

Next years class will be a top 20 class.

Its not ranked the last time I checked unless it has changed and I didn't think we were adding another player.....I love hubbs and like AJ Davis.......I don't think I would pick Landry for my rec league team.....his first two.classes are very unimpressive even with stokes.

 

[bleedingTNorange]

Ban bet

Absolutely since it already is

 

[SCowlsVOL]

Now...add Hubbs and Maymon to this team and say we are averaging 72ppg...while still holding opponents to 58ppg, would you change that tune?

I think if we return pretty much everyone with hubbs and maymon we will have a very special team next yr.

Ban bet

Please don't.

There is nothing more annoying on VN than stupid ban bets. The loser ends up either changing user names or apologizing for making the bet in the first place.

 

[GLDunlap]

Are u serious? Holy crapola

Yep I was at the game. Still have the program signed by every starter plus Mears and Ward. Even have David Moss so it's a treasured possession.

You are correct. Im just disgusted at the moment.

I don't think anybody would say this team is championship quality, i sure as hell wouldn't.

Now...add Hubbs and Maymon to this team and say we are averaging 72ppg...while still holding opponents to 58ppg, would you change that tune?

I hope maymon stays and hubbs is the real deal so we can really see what CCMS can do....my fear us we are going to be purdue south and that style will never compete for a championship.

 

[OrangeBalls]

Golden can't throw it in the ocean tonight.

 

[OrangeBalls]

McThree. Finally.

 

[vols 30]

Right here. We're about to take the lead....and will end up winning by double digits.

What's your point?[/QUOTE.
Doubt vols win by double digits.

 

[Volman10]

Must continue to attack the rim when the shots are not falling.

 

[bleedingTNorange]

For those thinking I won't question Martin I definitely will...here's an example.

I thought the light may have just came on for stokes, he looked mad and was burying his guy, schooled him twice....BOOM Martin pulls him out 3 minutes into the second half???

 

[Spartacavolus]

McThree. Finally.

Good to see him still have confidence to shoot after being cold. You never want to go full Jordan Howelltard on your jumpshot.

 

[vols 30]

Missing Jerry Green right now

Hey we also lost to "Austin Peay" AT HOME Last season

I had looked at rivals before and we weren't.....u know I'm lazy LOL......if we are just 20 now if others sign some in the spring, we won't be top twenty but the point still remains besides stokes every player CCM has signed seems pretty marginal

 

[Spartacavolus]

I have seen at least 4 rolls to the bucket by our big men and we can't make a pass. And its a bounce pass or a lob at the rim. Easy finish.

 

[Spartacavolus]

Thank you.

 

[ukvols]

We averaged 70ppg last year?

I can't argue with that stat, but I'd like to know how many times we went 7+ minutes without scoring a single point...or how many times the offense would vanish with about 6 minutes left in a game and cause us to lose.

I'm with you on winning>style. I'm just just concerned by our play. A loss tonight would be a season-crusher.

 

[OrangeBalls]

We better score some points this half because our defense isn't where it was in the 1st half.

 

[Volasaurus Rex]

Give and go, FINALLY

 

[Volman10]

Last 3 possessions have been, drive and foul, drive and foul, and Yemi easy bucket.
