Title: DK went off, AGAIN Post by: PirateVOL on January 28, 2024, 02:20:50 EST Another 30+ point game
Retirement Rick gets T?d up down 9 with about 1:30 left in the first half From there the VOLS just stomped the comodedoors while the 70+% Orange crowd went nuts 75-62 Final Title: Re: DK went off, AGAIN Post by: JeffCountyVolFan on January 28, 2024, 02:35:24 EST The half was ugly because DK was not "on".
This team MUST be able to get scoring from others if they are going to have success in March, imo. Watch JJJ run away from the basket on the play. Even if DK shoots it, JJJ is in no position to rebound a miss. Can anyone explain what JJJ was thinking here? https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Gop49gx3GYt5WUczEcslNwV70cX6eFL8/view?usp=drivesdk (https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Gop49gx3GYt5WUczEcslNwV70cX6eFL8/view?usp=drivesdk) Title: Re: DK went off, AGAIN Post by: Black Diamond Vol on January 28, 2024, 02:39:52 EST Our FT shooting, especially in the first half, made this a lot harder than it had to be.
As for JJJ, blame me. I cursed him a couple weeks ago when I praised him as our best all-around player on here. From that point on, he's just disappeared. :frown: At least Santi showed some signs of life tonight.

Title: Re: DK went off, AGAIN Post by: PirateVOL on January 28, 2024, 03:06:21 EST Rut row, we may have a team chemistry issue!

Dalton Knecht has been so hot on the road that Tim Corbin wants the refs in Memorial to check his bat ? :dielaughing: :hi5: Title: Re: DK went off, AGAIN Post by: JeffCountyVolFan on January 28, 2024, 03:32:16 EST The technical came with 1:17 left in the first half. Vandy led until the 14:27 point in the second half. DK scored 12 straight Tennessee points in that stretch.
Title: Re: DK went off, AGAIN Post by: Black Diamond Vol on January 28, 2024, 03:45:03 EST His final numbers don't pop off the page, but Estrella gave us some solid minutes tonight. We're going to need him down the stretch- because the refs seem to have it out for Awaka, who just can't stay on the floor. He seemingly gets whistled for two fouls just for walking over to the scorer's table to check in. :frown:
Title: Re: DK went off, AGAIN Post by: VinnieVOL on January 28, 2024, 03:45:17 EST Idk what the chances are we go all the way to the final 4, but I am trying my best to soak this season up. Feels like now or never. It?s probably really gonna hurt at the end. :bawl:

Title: Re: DK went off, AGAIN Post by: BanditVol on January 28, 2024, 11:27:32 EST I saw only the second half. I'll take credit for it? :dielaughing:
I didn't see mentioned above we had that 3 point shooter come in again and hit a couple (Gainey). That is also a nice addition this year...someone who can come in cold and give us that outside shot. :powert: Title: Re: DK went off, AGAIN Post by: JeffCountyVolFan on January 29, 2024, 01:06:44 EST JJJ in January: 7 games)

I was not really excited when he decided to return, but he proved me wrong in the early part of the season. The team needs him to get back to that level. He is capable.

We've still yet to have a game where DK, JJJ, Santi and ZZ are clicking on all cylinders at the same time. I get that there's only one ball to go around, and that they're not all gonna get 20 a night- but Santi and JJJ have actually looked timid and scared to shoot at times. Hubbs was speculating that JJJ might currently be playing with an undisclosed injury. If so, he should probably be benched until he recovers. Mashack is more than capable of filling his role.

If so, he should probably be benched until he recovers. Mashack is more than capable of filling his role. I?ve wondered about that. He?s not the same as he was earlier in the season. If he is hurt, he?s playing a really high number of minutes for an injured player. I agree about Mashack. Title: Re: DK went off, AGAIN Post by: Tnphil on January 29, 2024, 01:37:54 EST I think JJJ has been playing hurt the entire 9 years he's been here.
