1.5 favorites against A&M at home?

[Thunder Good-Oil]

Odds are, Buzz Williams stays very close to his coach’s box this time….

I bet he’ll be stepping on the court a lot to distract UT. I hope that stay focused on the game instead of knocking Buzz down.

Usually the line doesn’t come out until day before the game. Not a full 2 days before. So like others, I assume OP is confused

This. The line isn’t out yet.

I usually agree with Vegas but I think we’re gonna bounce back and play really well. We’ve only lost like 4 times in the last three years at home, decent chance we win by more than 1. I’d feel confident in taking Tennessee.

Wouldn’t take Tobe but once to learn his silly azz….

He’s going to get trucked by Awaka if not.

I’m predicting Vols 9.5 point favorite.

Buzz is very animated on the sideline for sure. The officials do need to keep him off the floor. He‘s going to get hurt. He’s not a spring chicken anymore. Man we owe them payback big time. We played awful down there. Probably our worst performance of the year in my opinion. Hope our guys are super motivated Saturday night in TBA and hope the crowd is jacked up for this one.

Computers favor us by 11. Unless there is an injury I am unaware of we should be favored by double digits.

If that’s the case during play, the officials are not doing their job and perhaps showing favoritism and, therefore, should be subjected to penalties.

LOL we'll be ok at home

South Carolina says hold my beer.

 

[JohnWardForever]

Vols will be -11-14. Vols win by 20.

Coaches routinely step on the court and I don’t see it called very often. But I’ve only seen a coach run halfway across the court during live play not get whistled one time.

Just because it goes uncalled doesn’t make it right or acceptable. That is a reflection on poor officiating. Coach Barnes sets a positive example for other coaches to follow, observing compliance, sportsmanship, and safety standards. Coaches who show their asses like Williams does need to be held in check by officials. Otherwise, players are at risk for injury or retaliation.

Yes, and the fact of the matter is that we just can’t predict with certainty how a particular game plays out. I think we will win, and I hope we will win. Certainties don’t exist at this level of college basketball.

Too bad that good behavior doesn’t get him any favors from Pat Adams.

 

[berryvol]

We opened -11.5

 

[Unconditional Surrender]

hopefully TBA is hostile

If they called it every time Bruce Pearl would lead the league. I'd say he goes out on the hardwood a step or 2 about 5 to 6 times a half.

Pitino, while at KY, was the first coach that I noticed abusing the “coaches box” rule. He was clearly acting like a 6th defender wildly waving his arms and screaming when a TN player had the basketball in front of his bench.

Should we bet the mortgage? Vols win by 20?

Just to quote..”Just win baby”!

hopefully the team shows up ready to play...all of them.

 

[VolsAgainstTheWorld15]

Think it will be a tight game. A&M has been struggling, but their physicality will present some challenges for us. Plus, I fully expect we will get their very best. They’ve been hemorrhaging and need a Q1 win to get back on course.

I expect A&M will get our best shot as well, though. Our guys will be hungry to get a little revenge and understand that this is a must win game.

Close game, but a close game I expect us to prevail in.
