Likely No Jaxson Robinson against UT

That's my concern. That we did so well against them because Zigler had taller players on him that really bothered him. Tonight he will have a guy in his ballpark guarding him which probably brings back his comfort level. I hope not, but that was my first thought of why Jrob worked there but not at the games after.
Agree. Zeg is like 7/8 on three since his terrible game against us. Hope he cools down tonight. Don’t think Brea can stay with him, so needs to be Butler.
We have to get 82 points to win this game I think. We don’t need a hero tonight, we need a lot of heroes in their roles… what if you got this?
Oweh 16
Brea 14
Williams 12
Butler 12
Carr 12
Almonor 6
Garrison 6
Noah 4
If something like that happens and we guard our tails off, we can win. Nobody needs 30, just assignment sound on both sides. Keep Ziegler and Lanier from going nuclear.

Even if Robinson and Butler are both out I'm not as worried about scoring points as guarding Ziegler and Lanier. I think I'd play a 1-3-1 and try to cover the corner threes and straight up top and let them chuck away from everywhere else.
What happened to the Kerr being a game time decision? Am I going nuts or was that a thing? And now he’s just out?? Did I miss something or misunderstand?
Might be a good game to break out a box and one if Lanier gets going. Ziegler and company are good but I’m not sure they will decide the game as much as Lanier. If you can have the Tennessee supporting cast attempt to win them the game, you like your chances although it isn’t as though Igor Milicic and Gainey aren’t good players. Them deciding the game is better than a red hot Lanier for us though.
Some sports apps that include an injury report had him listed that way yesterday before the official report came out. It seems to have been a mistake as no official outlets ever actually suggested that he might play, and he was listed as out on the official report.
Yeah a 1-3-1 doesn’t cover the corners or high post well. If you want to cover corners, you’re probably better off with a 2-3. To be clear, I am not in favor of zone vs Tennessee.
I’d love to see Brea go off for 27 again.
Me too but that’s a lot of pressure without Robinson. They will be keying on Brea
Shout out to the people in this thread who called it ahead of time that Noah was going to break out tonight. He was a huge spark in the first half.
Well I was there, and saw him 10 rows from the floor, so apples to oranges I guess.
Loved it!
Just felt like it would be easier for them to step into an off ball role and hit some shots with Jax out vs the offense having less penetration to create those shots when Butler was out.
Glad it came to fruition. Huge win
