Western Kentucky vs. Tennessee Game Thread

C'mon, slackers. Tips off on FSN in a couple minutes about this UNC garbage.

Bert just said WKU doesn't have much of an inside/physical game. Kind of a mirror-image of the Vols, according to Bert.

GO VOLS! :rock2:

[Freak]

Yep, Ramar had a nice first half as did Childress with 6 rebounds.

 

[Crakaveli]

Lofton being Lofton.

 

[Big Vol Nasty]

We get punked out on rebounds man. Thats what gets me the most in wacthing these games.

 

[salutethehill]

Chris Lofton is a machine :dance2:

 

[smokeyman15]

Childress had a good game...

Childress had a good game...

Childress always plays good against crappy teams lol

 

[tclowers23]

they certianly arent UNC either. I'm just saying Childress does good against opponets who are weak in the post

 

[TennNC]

I know Ramar had 4 turnovers today, but he looked much more relaxed and confident. He brings a lot to the team when he's playing well - kind of like a good base stealer in baseball - he forces the other team to pay attention to him, which brings more opportunities to the other guys.

Ramar looks like he is coming around physically.

Childress is still improving, he will be a big factor come conference play time...

You could tell we were superior, but the TOs and foul shooting are still a problem. It was encouraging to see us control a team we should control.

 

[tidwell]

Already been mentioned, but Ramar looked a lot better today. Actually finished a couple of those drives, not counting the one that got blocked into North Carolina, anyway.

I was amazed to see Childress have double-digit rebounds.

 

[vols kick balls]

I was amazed to see Childress have double-digit rebounds.

More importantly, he knocked the living (insert bad word) out of somebody.

 

[tidwell]

Oh yeah, sweet pick.

I'm tellin' ya, now that he's slimmer, he looks like Frank Caliendo.

 

[mattvols]

I hope we can gel right at the beginning of conference play like we did last year and go on a run
