UT game - Going for last 4 in.

[MarketingBully]

A shame we keep saying this after every game. You would think the team would eventually see this too. Wonder why this keeps happening? Do we come out lackadaisical every week or do we just make adjustments at the half. Hard to believe it's the same thing every week though.

It?s the same thing every game as well. Early in the game it?s: no help defense and no communication on defense which leads to wide open perimeter shots or uncontested layups on guard penetration. Today was the added bonus of not blocking out and giving them a lot of second chance opportunities which led directly to TNs 34 points and 6 point lead at the half. The second half adjustments were the same as they always are: better defensive intensity, better communication and switching on defense, better blocking out and limiting second chance opportunities. Then on offense we ran it through Perry more in the second half and it got us more open looks on the perimeter and Stewart benefited with 16 second half points.

We are an extremely talented team and we know what to do obviously as we do it in the second half. Howland is aware of this because the announcers talked about it to start the game. We can get away with only playing one half against most of the league but against Kentucky and Arkansas on the road we will need to play both halves to give ourselves the best chance to win.

One thing to watch out for is do we get the call underneath the basket against KY? We got 25 at the line today. Against Fl we also shot good amount. But something tells me some whistles might get swallowed when we have the ball/

It's funny how some people just stop talking in this thread once we start doing well. I know you're disappointed about it, but it turns out our men's team actually is pretty good and is well-coached. I for one hope some of you keep being proven wrong every game.

10 posts where were you when we were playing like SHIT! This team has talent but could go down the tubes without warning. Let's see how we do the next few games before blowing your horn.

Probalby watching and enjoying the game instead of posting all the time.

I really thought Tyson was going to be a big part of the offense this year. He just seems off. Not only is he not hitting shots he's making bad decisions too.

People on here love to rail on Ado, but all those offensive rebounds Tenn was getting in the first half mysteriously vanished in the second half when he got back into the game.

Exactly correct!

I had 2 older gentleman sitting by me at game who were UT fans.
They made the same comment to me with about 5 minutes left.

Nick Weatherspoon is becoming a great PG right before our eyes. He was more of a scoring guard in the past but he is running this team as a true PG now and doing it well. People keep bashing Ado but he does what he is supposed to do and that is defend, block shots and rebound. He does all those well

At the game lol

Ditto on both counts. Spoon is becoming one of best PG in SEC. Ado is a warrior on the inside. Depending on who we can get, folks will be dying for an Ado on the team in 2 years.

I wish he would get the ball more often.

An actual basketball higher IQ post. Well done..
and I don’t have the actual stats on hand but exactly how many second chance points did Tenn get in the first half? They only missed like 10 shots total so it couldn’t have been many ..

Ado is very underrated. He doesn't have the highest offensive production, but the dude battles. He is our best post defender and rebounder. It make s a big difference when he gets in early foul trouble.

Another very good knowledge post..
Perry is for sure the alpha dog , but Ado is arguable the glue that holds things together esp on the defensive side ..
homework assignment for those that want to do it.. see what the (+ - ) was in the first half when Ado was out with foul trouble..

I'm pretty sure the announcers said they had 15 shortly into the 2nd half. They didn't get too many more after that. I can think of one 3pt shot they hit off an offensive board after that, but not much else.
