Official Tennessee vs Villanova game thread - 5:00 ET - ESPN

[UTCVol]

BS call.

 

[BigPapaVol]

Some people just get tired of fans relentlessly bashing a kid giving his all for Tennessee. That's all.

Stop with silliness like this. There are hordes of kids equally capable who would do the same.

Horrible call

 

[Catbone]

worst call ever

 

[emainvol]

criticizing his play and bashing the kid are 2 different things

Nah man, calling a kid a terrible basketball player (which is obviously a relative statement) because he can't play D and damn near stalls the O is obviously an indictment on his character. I am as bad as Hitler.

 

[utvolpj]

terrible call

 

[Chris4Vols22]

What BS.

 

[Catbone]

2 free points for nova.. BS

 

[emainvol]

5 point halftime lead against a very good opponent. Come out in the second half and score some points.

 

[TooLegit2Quit]

Saw that call coming from a mile away. Pathetic.

The point is, Bruce Pearl knows way more than me or you about basketball. If he was as terrible as some of you make him out to be he wouldn't play. Obviously he does good things for the team out there or he would not play.

Bruce just giving him a chance. He is failing. THIS KID WILL NOT SEE SIG MINS IN SEC PLAY!

Refs dominating and ruining the game. Free throw shooting contest. What else is new. Vols playing incredible defense though. Still missing a lot of easy free throws. If we start hitting those we are going to be a very hard team to beat. Loving Scotty's aggressiveness.

 

[Hound]

Should have been a bigger lead, but I'm happy with the first half. The defense has been solid.

 

[theutvolunteers]

What was the call i missed it

 

[rickyyrs]

OK i don't like to complain too much about refs, but the one ref the bald headed guy hasn't called one call in Tennessee favor all night. Maybe i am missing something being a Vols fan.:banghead2:

+1. I'm glad he did what he did against Kansas but he is no Division 1 player.

 

[SeanJean]

What was the call i missed it

Vols totally shut Nova down in the halfcourt, dude got out of control and fell out of bounds, and they called a foul on Hopson, who literally didn't touch the guy.

 

[CAVol]

Defense has been very good. Holding Stokes, Fisher, and Wayns to 14 combined points is a testament to how hard we've playedin the halfcourt.

 

[King Webbsticles]

What was the call i missed it

guy was driving towards out of bounds, out of control, losing the ball and initiated contact (slight) with Hopson and got two free throws

 

[omghulkhands]

Playing defense this well at this point of the season has me very excited

 

[SeanJean]

They're all garbage. Everywhere. They have totally ruined the flow of this game. Ticky tack fouls everywhere.

 

[theutvolunteers]

Thanks for the answer. How many is that on Scotty, two?

 

[MikeHamiltonFan]

Another half with d like that and we win.

None of our players have foul problems.

Villanova can get in trouble early in the second if we target the right players. Fields and Williams and Harris should all be trying to foul out their bigs, then we just score 2 every time with dunks down low to end the game. We should have more 3s by and 1s than by taking outside shots in the second half.
