Ado and Holman are absolutely...

[DAWGS1.sixpack]

Killing us tonight !!!!

Killing us tonight !!!!

Actually UT bigs are killing us. They are better. Hopefully we hit some 3's down the stretch.

 

[mstateglfr]

Killing us tonight !!!!

Perhaps UT post play is really good?...

 

[DAWGS1.sixpack]

Ado and Holman ain't good.
How bout that ?!?!

 

[8dog]

They are just a lot better than us. So well coached. Love what they do on offense. Cut and screen you to death and eventually it leads to a big with position deep or a man not blocked out

 

[57stratdawg]

They have totally kicked our ***

Tennessee is more experienced and has been tested more. It really really shows tonight.

 

[Msubulldogfan1]

I think there’s a decent chance perry starts at the 4 next year

 

[bulldognation]

Obvious we are playing like we want to win a couple games in the NIT instead of getting bounced in round 1 of the NCAA.

Hmm... they mentioned on SEC network earlier this week that Tennessee is one of the youngest teams in the NCAA.

 

[Dawgzilla]

Holman must have the lowest dunk shoothing pct. in the country.

Barnes is doing a great job there.

 

[Shamoan]

He has missed a metric ton of point blank dunks.

 

[KingBarkus]

They knew exactly how to attack us. Screens, cutters, hit the glass. A zone might have helped. Our bigs need to live in the weight room in the offseason.

 

[NWADog]

Ado and Holman both better hit the weight room and stop playing so soft. Ado got the ball slapped away or stolen from him every time he got it down low. He needs to get strong and tough with the ball and that comes with confidence and some aggression. That’s why Holman can’t finish at the damn hole. Hit the rim with some aggression like you’re gonna break the thing or anyone’s hand that tries to block it... just watch how Russell Westbrook goes to the hole. They played scared tonigh

1 senior that comes off the bench, one freshmen that comes off the bench, starting 5 are all Soph and juniors. So not too much different than us

 

[DawgatAuburn]

Holman is a junior. I think he is what he is at this point.

 

[Leeshouldveflanked]

If Reggie starts it will be at the 3....

 

[IBleedMaroonDawg]

He is talking about NCAA game experience. This is Nick and Ado's first season. Holman is what he is and struggles against physical play.

Lamar and Q are really the only experienced players we have.

 

[Msubulldogfan1]

If Reggie starts it will be at the 3....

He’s a 6’9 PF...

 

[BulldogBlitz]

He has missed a metric ton of point blank dunks.

Live by the dunk, die by the dunk.

 

[BulldogBlitz]

Yes..loved the chicken wing move, two hand on defenders chest pushed into screen move, and the ever popular dipping the shoulder and plowing move.

 

[PineGroveBully]

I had such high hopes for Holman. I thought he would be a Chris Bosh type player. I don't think he's gained a pound of muscle in 3 years. Like others have said, at this point he is what he is. I just don't get why we didn't go to a zone with Ado planted at the goal. Or at least a halfcourt press. We have the personnel to do it.

They were both Admiral Schofield’s personal ***** tonight. Especially Holman. I started calling Holman Mrs. Schofield in the 2nd half. I bet he made him a sandwich after the game.

 

[G-Dawg]

I used to call Vince Embry "Dr. Doink" because of his many missed dunks. I think the crown should now be passed to Holman.

 

[BiscuitEater]

Ahhh no .. they are as young or younger than State. UT has ONE 4* on their team .. no one else higher than a 3*. They have less stars, are bigger, better coached and play more physical than our 'higher' star players.

 

[HumpDawgy]

Here is Ado playing football

Future clip of Holman in the pros

 

[HumpDawgy]

Maybe we need Renardo Sidney back

or maybe not

 

[TrueMaroonGrind]

Hmm... they mentioned on SEC network earlier this week that Tennessee is one of the youngest teams in the NCAA.

We start two freshmen who we rely on heavily. They have never had the experience playing big boy games against really good teams. Tennessee has played in those games before and it shows now. We "tested" our guys against Florida A&M, Green Bay and Alabama State. Tennessee tested their team against Villinova, North Carolina and Purdue.

Experience is more than age or what class in college you are. Age is a part of it, but it is more about how many times you have been in big games against high quality opponents and knowing how to respond when someone punches you in the mouth. Our core team has never been in a game like that against an opponent like that in college. Tennessee has and it showed last night.They punched us in the mouth and we had no idea how to respond.
