Title: Greatest scorers at UT by decade Post by: BanditVol on March 04, 2024, 06:52:03 EST 70s Bernard King (tip of the hat to Ernie)
80s Dale Ellis 90s Wade Houston (too bad his dad was the coach) 00s Chris Lofton 10s Grant (tip of the hat to the Admiral) 20s Knecht (so far) Where is Knecht on this list? Definitely above Ellis and probably Grant, I'd put him over Lofton, Wade Houston and particularly Bernard are tough to move him ahead of. So maybe it goes like this King Houston Knecht Lofton Grant Ellis And I don't do Tennessee basketball prior to the 70s...that's before my time. :biggrin: :powert: Title: Re: Greatest scorers at UT by decade Post by: volsboy on March 04, 2024, 07:10:18 EST Knecht is inconsistent. He will score 39 one game and 15 the next. King was money about every night.

Good point.

Agree, and I am pretty sure he is ahead of Ellis. But with Ellis the team did better (made the tourney and advanced) and had more success in the NBA and just was more of a force out there IMO. But I could see White being in over Ellis. |
