Official Vols vs. Owls Game Thread

Whatsup

haha you got me. i was just trying to have a little faith

 

[bigdaddy]

tough loss for the vols no doubt. They have no time to cry about it or Marquette will spank them on Tuesday in Nashville. Good luck Pearl. You have a tough test ahead of you this season. Making the tourney with this team will be an accomplishment IMO.

We have virtually no post play, and a very streaky backcourt. Tyler Smith is the only consistent performer on this team.

Let's hope Bruce can work wonders before Marquette. And let's hope Prince gets better in a hurry.

 

[BigPapaVol]

If we're going to defend like that, we should go back to the press.

 

[OWB]

What is going on with Temple today? They are making everything.

It's called crappy defense. A Vols trademark so far this season.

 

[alaVOL]

I can't believe we have played this bad......goodness gracious......

Christmas is looking like Curry

Welcome to being a fan of a young team.

Enjoy your stay.

Looks like the schedule is going to murder us this year.

So this is what the 8th ranked preseason SEC leading team looks like.....undisciplined offense....no defense....and very little lateral foot speed on the press....does the word "overrated" come to mind?.....

 

[OWB]

I really not much of a b-ball fan and would just like to know how we are a #8 team? I've only had a chance to watch two games this season and we've looked bad in both of them.

I don't know turn, maybe you shouldn't watch.

 

[DowntownVol]

It's not losing to Temple that bothers me so much - it's getting DOMINATED by Temple.

 

[TennNC]

Our d is an embarrassment and it is where our team is best suited to win.

Chism is now an abortion.

interesting choice of words.

 

[dickens821]

This is going to be a good loss. This team is not buying into the Pearl system. Totally out of sync. Time will tell.

No loss is good

 

[OWB]

does the word "overrated" come to mind?.....

More than I would have liked it to.

 

[LIvol]

Can someone explain how this team makes sense for Pearls System, seemed like a lot of half court offense, which I havent seen from them in the years I have seen him. Oh yeah because we tried to match post with their posts, since we are shooting 20% from 3pt range

Throwing in the towel a little early aren't we.

 

[MphsBlues]

Chism, Smith, Tatum are a combined 0-11 from 3.

this isn't football bro. don't call the season a failure just yet

 

[Volstylexx]

they're shooting lights out.... and we cant hit a thing... it happens. Not the end of the world - that's why they call it a season.

 

[TennNC]

we have no semblance of a basketball team today. we look like they pulled 5 guys out of the stands and told them to lace up.

 

[HotlantaVol]

This team has tremendous upside, but we're going to have some more very ugly losses before the season is over, for sure.

 

[UTodd01]

What we are witnessing is what most people THOUGHT we would see. Why is everyone so surprised?

We all knew they would struggle early and improve as the season goes along.

We'll see if they improve.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

Getting whipped by 20+ by Temple is anything but good.

 

[LIvol]

by the way, we may get swept by Florida if we are having problems containing guards who can score, because that is what they got
