Tennessee has always been a solid program under Rick Barnes. They've gotten good NCAA Tournament seeds, they've performed well in the SEC, and they are known for having one of the best defenses in college basketball. The problem? They just never seem to figure things out on offense. Enter Dalton Knecht. A 6-6 grad transfer from Northern Colorado who has put the Tennessee offense, and their Final Four hopes, on his back.

Zz is the best pg in the nation
Best true PG in the nation
He’s playing out of his mind! Need to get some more guys involved though, got the team on his back lol
I know someone needs to step up yesterday was absolutely brutal hahaha
to be fair the team that beats TN almost always goes to the final four lol
great vid, new subscriber
Thanks so much!
I disagree with the no 2nd scoring options. What is ZZ averaging right now? He is averaging almost 11 points a game. JJJ, Vescovi, and Aidoo can give you double figures any night. Gainey is a capable scorer.
All fair points. It just seems like none of them are consistent enough game to game.
@@BobbyDouglasBasketball ZZ has had 1 bad game (South Carolina 2 Points) since he’s been 100% healthy in Mid December. He tore his knee up around a year ago.
Not a bad analysis. I do think he is the key to making a Final Four his year. However, I think people who put down the past losses to Chicago-Loyola and FAU in the NCAAT are not being completely fair. That 2018 Chicago-Loyola team ended up 32-5, defeated UT by one point, then went on to the Elite 8, beating Nevada and Kansas St - so they were no pushovers. And the 2023 FAU team went 35-4, beat Kansas St to make the Final Four, and lost to San Diego State by only one point. Yeah, I still wish we had won those games, but it's not like we lost an opening round game.
Loyola Chicago made the Final Four as well!
Yeah that's true. It's not like they're losing to "bad" tournament teams, but I'd still argue that they should've won all those games.
I'm sorry, but DK is not enough of a difference maker to carry this team any further than they've already been. The scoring droughts are present every single night. I appreciate and have enjoyed watching DK play, and he is the only reason this team gets out of the round of 32. My prediction from day 1: sweet 16 loss. Second verse, same as the first.
Yeah that's a fair take. My whole line of thinking is that they got to the Sweet 16 last year with practically the same roster, so adding Knecht I think is good enough to maybe get to the Elite 8 or something.
Anything is possible, but DK is good enough to shoot Tennessee through a round in the tourney. And if the Vols get contributions from JJJ, Vescovi, and Aidoo watch out! I didn’t mention ZZ, because he is a STUD. Eventually, Tennessee & Rick Barnes will break through. This year’s team has as good of chance as any.
Who’s winning ? We lost to Chicago in the sweet 16 and they went in the 4
Psss .. dalton was 5’6 in 9th grade . Lol he grew like a tree I think he’ll grow into 6’8 and he’s trouble
Those late growth spurts are always so transformative.
We have senior scorers do ur facts , jjj zz vescovi . They won the sec reg and tournament
JJJ Z and Vescovi never won the regular season. They won the SEC tournament but not the regular season. That was Bone, grant and Schofield
Ok I thought they won the regular or tied with auburn . I may be wrong on that but they won the sec tournament . They can do it , everyone like they can’t win this and that like everyone is winning em ! Bs
@@shadiwolf2720 yeah those 3 won the SEC tournament the year that Kennedy Chandler was there. Z came off the bench. They did tie with Auburn for a reg season title but it was grant Schofield and bones second to last year I’m pretty sure. Because the next year they all came back and were better but lost steam toward the end of the year and it cost them a back to back.
@@shadiwolf2720 yeah, I hate that can’t win in March narrative. Like who does? 1 team every year
I don't think any of them are as consistent as you'd like them to be.
