Official Vols vs. Owls Game Thread

[DowntownVol]

We need penetration. They are leaving it open in the middle. They are getting the hometown calls and our guys are playing timid. We need some slashing right now to get some guys open.

Exactly. This is why we miss Prince. He can be that guy.

 

[Sudden Impact]

Look for adjustments and Tennessee wins by 5

 

[hatingbamaisawayoflife]

we got outplayed, outhustled and outcoached

If this keeps up, I don't see us making the tourney. LSU may be the best team in our conf.

We'll score 45-50 in the 2nd half.
If we don't stay out of further foul trouble, though, we will lose. We need to be able to run and play physical to wear them down. Solid defense would be on the top of my wish list...

Terrible officiating.

Bad choice by coach with the starting lineup - we basically gave them an 8-0 lead with that starting 5.

Chism better improve or this season could go very bad, very quickly.

I wish we would hustle more...Temple wants it more and it shows...

 

[joeydupree]

Steven should not be getting as much play time as hopson.

Or Negedu.

 

[TennesseeFan07]

That was terrible

 

[Bassmanbruno]

Not sure if it was mentioned - but that charge call on Hopson was terrible. The guy flopped before Hopson touched him. Not to mention he had been airborne for quite a bit.

Let's see if we can see this young team grow up before our eyes in this second half.

Biggest test of the season for them so far.

 

[ttocswob]

...some offensive glass would be nice, too

 

[bigdaddy]

Never going to get calls on the road. If this team will make some noise this season, they need to learn to play through that. 28% from the field says it all. In a word....crappy.

 

[Jewbaccah]

I noticed some out coached bad coaching comments on here. That is ridiculous. With most other coaches this team might not even be the favorite in this game. We are young and without Prince (injured) and Chism (sitting with fouls) we are very young. Coaches are not miracle makers.

Biggest test of the season for them so far.

Being down to Zaga by 20 at the half was a test.

 

[UTodd01]

Let's watch them grow up in this second half.

 

[DowntownVol]

So what, exactly, is the status on Prince?

 

[MphsBlues]

Let's go, Vols!!!

 

[bigdaddy]

I wonder if these guys will ever learn to stop and shoot instead of drive through guys to the goal.

 

[Abeachvol]

good start for Chism hopefully it boosts his confidence

 

[UTodd01]

Being down to Zaga by 20 at the half was a test.

This ones on the road my friend.

A different beast.

 

[MphsBlues]

sweet!

 

[sportsnut624]

At least Hopson made that dunk. I was worried when he went up

 

[bigdaddy]

our press is piss poor.

 

[MphsBlues]

good finish there.
