VOLS are in big trouble now. Only player on the roster who can handle the ball. Plays 40 minutes a game against any team with a pulse.

VOLS have a 4* international PG enrolling next week but he was expected to redshirt.

Would be shocking if Tennessee can even make the tourney now.

Literally do not have a PG on the roster and their resume isn’t exactly sparkling right now with him.

If you’re uninformed about SEC basketball you probably shouldn’t post in basketball threads

He was preseason 1st Team All SEC and Tennessee’s leading scorer in tournament play last season.

It would certainly not be "shocking" even if this is a big blow

They will be a bottom 6 team in the league without him. They haven’t even been able to get in to their offense when he isn’t on the floor.

If Vescovi isn’t ready to play they don’t have a PG on the roster. Josiah will be a turnover machine if he is the primary ball handler.

SEC basketball being awful this year may be our only saving grace

Nope, Barnes is a damn good coach and has been through the wars....UT will still be a tough out

Injuries stink, especially in basketball.

The league is awful but this Tennessee team is just as bad as those bottom teams without Turner. Their team offensive efficiency ratings without Turner are Vandy level.

JJJ is gonna have to step up but Barnes still has the bodies to get them to play solid defense which should be enough for them to be middle-pack

Their offense definently won't be good but I'd bet on UT ending up a bubble team

We were a bubble team with everyone healthy and playing well.

I know none of you watch VOLS but this team will be winning maybe 6 games in conference play.
