Title: Vols look like they haven’t been on a court this year.

The worst play I can remember for a long time.  :dunno:

Glad Deacon Barnes is a defensive guru  :laugh:

Complete and total domination. I don’t think that there’s anything else to say.

Team speed, imo, is an issue with this squad. We aren’t quick enough to defend 1-on-1 on the half court. I am sure that he’s done it before, but I can’t recall CRB ever playing zone here before today - and it was because we simply could not defend them.

Didn't even know there was a game.  Gotta start paying attention to bball I guess.  :biggrin:

Didn't see the game, but I'll take some solace in the fact that Villanova is no. 5 and it's early.  FWIW.

Ugly. But seemed like a confluence of bad shooting on our part, great shooting on their part, and terrible refs. I’d rather have a game like this in November than February/March. Hopefully it was a learning experience for our newcomers, and they’ll come out breathing fire tomorrow.

I’m pulling for UNC to lose (I’d do that anyway), but from the small sample size of games I’ve seen so far this season I don’t really think we want to play Purdue.

They ran scared of the V-d. Shot too many threes off the mark. And the rebounding...??? Work on it.

No. I believe Purdue would have humiliated UT based on yesterday's performance. Let's hope UT plays better today.

It most definitely was!  The intensity on defense today was night-and-day from what we witnessed against Nova.

Carolina is no Nova. Not as blue blooded as they have been.

This Vols team should be competitive enough to challenge for the SEC title. That would be nice. BTW #1 Gonzaga plays #2 UCLA tonight. It's on late though.
