This team is learning some tough lessons about how other teams are attacking them. Tonight, they had to capitalize on free throws. Fortunately, they did. Also, teams that can slowly grind out the clock have good luck against the Vols. Until this team gets dangerous from the foul line and can push for more transition points, this will be the way most teams will attempt to beat them. If Richardson will let go and play with a true scorer's mentality, that would help tremendously.
At this point, I am personally hoping Maymon redshirts. If he takes the time to fully heal up, we would be absolutely loaded for a deep run next year. And the team would be stronger because this year other players would have to develop themselves (Stokes, for example) without Maymon to lean on.
It's obvious the last 2 games an effort to push in transition has been emphasized..Problem is this year even bad teams are running the floor and getting back fast on defense.The days of 3 and 4 men on 2 on break aways with cool dunks are OVER!!Not much can be done about that with coaches doing so much preaching about getting back quickly and in position to defend..Thats why you see Golden push up court himself and going coast to coast for a lay up..It's so bad that trailing players can't even make a play..Look to me that Richardson cut loose pretty good..He had a huge game on offense and defense and was a big reason we got the win
