The Official #2 Tennessee vs. #25 Auburn Game Thread, 2:00 PM ET, ESPN

[MoCo_Vol]

Dude is 8-29 last two games. The Texas games doesnt make him a scoring threat....he needs to stop shooting so much. The ball gets in his hands and the offense stops.....

Yeah, really wish he’d get better at throwing outta the post when he pulls a double.

Rick Barnes: Olivier Nkamhoua 'stayed vertical' on final shot in Tennessee's win over Auburn

 

[vegasvolfan]

Just go away now whiner

OK since you said so.

 

[Volfan1000]

Player of the game today was JJJ and without his 14 rebounds, we lose this defensive struggle.
We received some home cooking on that last three point attempt because Nkamhoua bumped the Auburn shooter.
When was the last time Tennessee won only scoring 46 points in a game? Perhaps the O"Neill or Martin eras?

Sorry for the lighthearted post there gramps. But ohhh I forgot we were even 19-4, that should help us in future games.

@Volprofch05 congratulations on your new grandbaby

 

[Vtonerider]

I get that our defense is solid but, How do you have a shot clock, but score like a Devoe era team??

 

[SGMVols]

Offense in Basketball seems to be a lost art these days.

There’s tons of offense in the NBA, pretty much every team averages 110 or more points per game now.

It’s just that everyone in college is trying to run their stuff but don’t have their talent

 

[vegasvolfan]

Yep, Arkansas AM State Tech gonna bounce em

Haha you say that as if we are going to be a 1 seed after getting our butts handed to us by Florida and Kentucky. We are going to drop to a 2 or 3 seed after this week IMO.

Barnes is telling him to take the shots. If not, Barnes will give the minutes to someone else.

Offense and points are not the same.

I see very little actual offense these days just points via 1-1

Yeah, it’s a little embarrassing since my kids are 9 and 11, so let’s keep it in the down low….

I thought you had little ones, that’s why I was confused. You and cardvol can explain in the dugout because obviously I missed something.

They actually call him “Gramps.”

I had a snarky response to someone’s post and they accused me of being aged

No need to escape to the dugout when we can just take over this thread!

Keep what on the down low? That you were grandfathered into a now-obsolete phone plan?

Something like that, it’s all very confusing

Your kids'll be safer with flip-phones anyway.

Please — no one should be happy with that win.

Sure as hell beats the alternative though

 

[therickbol]

Does anyone understand this Tennessee offense? If so, please explain.

If you watch the game and don't understand then there is no use in explaining anything to you.

 

[Voltrapnbama]

No, because realism is rooted in perspective. It’s a social construct and we allow our perspective to shape how we see things. I’m a glass half full, not a glass half empty guy.

Perspective, ahhh.

That’s talented. He was doing a moving toward the basket 3 and quickly changed direction to doing a fall away 3. Wow. If he was moving to basket which he was his legs would have naturally been behind not in front unless he threw his legs forward

Well being he wasn’t moving towards the basket it really doesn’t matter. He ran around the pick going to his left caught the ball, did a jump shot somewhat off balance because of his momentum and the need to square up to get a shot towards the rim, causing his legs to flail unnaturally. Oh and by the way. The kid is pretty talented to be playing power 5 basketball.
