I hope ZZ is fully recovered. From reports, it appears that he is.

I expect Vescovi to be an assassin like we haven't had since Lofton.

I admit that I don't know much about our interior guys. Hopefully, we have a consistent scorer.

Lastly, part of me will miss Plas, but the other part not so much !

I like Barnes a lot, but he has been disappointing in the big tournament games. Seems his teams never go as far as they should. I don't want to fire him though. I doubt we could do better.

That's been his MO forever. Great seasons and bail early in the tournament. I too wouldn't fire him.

I am by n means a UT fan of anything…but I do have a begrudging respect for the men's basketball team over the last 15 years or so.

A little info on ZZ. The question was if ZZ would play Sunday.

I would guess no ZZ but no definitive answer. Starters Sunday are Mashack, Gainey, Knecht, JJJ, Aidoo.

Zakai wants to play badly but staff does not want him to push it. Wisconsin has always been the realistic target for a small role but we'll see if he can weasel his way out there for a few minutes.

Just no reason to push it in an exhibition game. Very challenging November schedule with 5 likely Q1 games and I think playing at least a limited role in those key games is the expectation.

Vols play Mich. State at 3:30 eastern today on Big Ten Network
Vescovi not available. Spending time with family.

Tennessee beats Sparty 89-88. I know it's exhibition, but beating #4 without your best 2 is pretty encouraging.

I didn't watch all of it but caught bits & pieces. It was a fun game. MSU was packed and both squads were playing hard. Felt like February.
Tried to piss it away at the end but we're able to squeak out with a 1 point win.
It's still a exhibition, but some of those new comers looked like dudes this afternoon

I recorded it and just finished watching. It was a very entertaining game. should be an exciting season.

 

[PalsPal]

Forgot about it. Maybe I can find a replay

I love YouTubeTV. I sat it to record TN bball games last year, and just checked and there it is.

Wow, Knecht is a great addition as well as Gainey.

Huge free throw by Gainey to seal it.

Exciting game for October.

I really hate it for Rafferty. He took the loss pretty hard.
