Title: 12 point lead is good, but...
Post by: Black Diamond Vol on January 19, 2019, 08:51:17 EST
...the defense that last 10 minutes was atrocious. The Deacon will have something to harp on at halftime.

We are getting killed on the inside offense. We need more medium jumpers.

Damn, that was ugly. Easily our worst game of the season, on both ends. I would DEFINITELY vote the Duke/UVa winner #1 now.

You would have thought after a 28 pt ass whipping last year the Vols would have been wanting some payback. Oh well, they won!

I don't know what it is about Avery Johnson, but he seems to have Barnes figured out. They were getting open looks all day long today. A win's a win, but this should light a fire under some asses.

Good thing they can't shoot FT's.  Sheesh.

To paraphrase John Ward - Why not, foul them every time :naughty:

Yep....Need to refocus and stop reading the press clippings. 2nd half of the past 2 games have been bad. Got to win these close games like we did today playing ugly BB.

Fine line between "swag" and "too cocky".  Admiral's flexing isn't as cool when we have a 2nd half defensive effort like that.

Glad we got the W, but Barnes was right: fortunate to win.

They did what they wanted offensively for the entire game. Thank goodness that they started slow in the 1st half, can't make free throws, and for Bowden's D on Petty down the stretch.

All that said, maybe this will be good for this team. It's way better to learn from an ugly win than from a loss.

We now know our weakness. Guarding the 3 point shot.
