The Official Tennessee @ Missouri Game Thread, 4:00pm ET, ESPN2

Adjustments. Have we had any of those this year? Maybe when 1 3 1 D was working, we switch to man against Florida and they go on a run to finish us off. Nice adjustment there.

The 1-3-1 was also an adjustment. Had played man most of the game, and UF went several minutes without scoring once they went zone. Does go both ways.
 
That about sums up CCM's coaching prowess - much like the CCM timeout last game when Jordan made the three ball in the final mins of that game.

I'm just happy to be in the game after that horrendous start.

Missouri Shooting: 61.5%
Average on the season: 46.1%

UT Shooting: 44.8%
Average on the season: 44.7%

There's your ballgame. Then again it's easy to shoot 61.5% when seemingly 25% or more of your shots are dunks from poor transition defense.

If we can actually play some defense and get them back down to average, we have a shot.

If we play any d second half we will pull this out. Maybe we will see the 1-3-1 some.
 
I am never going to root against the Vols as long as I live. I don't care who is coaching.
Tennessee played with great effort the first half. If they play that hard the second half they may win.

The difference was Florida hadn't adjusted to the 1 3 1 at the point that Cuonzo switched us out of it. It was still working. Florida looked completely lost on O.

Whatever we play, if we just get back, stop the ball and make them run offense, it will be an improvement. Those transition baskets after made shots are ridiculous.

Wilbekin's three was well guarded by JRich. That didn't lose us the game. Other coaching decisions and turnovers.
 
I have absolutely no control over what happens. So....I root for them to win. Amazing concept as a fan. But somehow we get labeled as a CCM supporter. Simply amazes me.

I know it is funny. I want them to win no matter who is coaching. Sad not all are like that.

Yes, indeed! :good!:

Yeah, then he switched back to man and FL went on a run. Cuonzo has no feel for the game. It's just scattered. Assistant coaches do nothing.

Off-topic: did National Geographic Channel buy all of ESPN's ad space? Good grief. I get it. Tuna reality show. Leave it be.
 
If the Vols can play the same perimeter defense they did in the last 10 minutes of the half, McRae can keep getting to the bucket and Stokes can own the paint, TN will win this game. Lots of big ifs.
