Recruiting Forum Football Talk [RIP 9.3.2019]

[Aesius]

The Vols have had poor 3 point defense all year.

Today it costs them a title and a banner.

No hardware for this group - sad

I think we actually get to the Sweet 16 and then simply fail to show up like today.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Hate to be a realist. That’s what they are. Every team has flaws. This one does to.

Not disagreeing its just a huge flaw and its very exploitable

 

[Smokey123]

This is rediculous.... championship on the line and they play like crap. This is exactly why it’s gonna be and take a Miracle to get past the sweet 16.

Lol

 

[TheMagnificantOne]

Ba

Does Rick Barnes ever show any fight? I mean not that it would ultimately matter but show some emotion dude. Bruce is in the refs ear.

Barnes gon Barnes

 

[RikidyBones]

Lol...and staying in man has worked the entire game???

that's like saying "weve been gashed in the run game and let's send out the dime package"

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Auburn's defense gets away with slapping arms so much, and Turner keeps getting called for playing the same way.

 

[Sugaray13]

The reason Auburn is making all these 3s is because the Vols aren't guarding them. When you leave shooters open on the perimeter all game, they're going to make shots. The Vols knew that, it's been killing them all game and they're still doing it. Auburn's going to continue doing it because it's very effective.

I have said it multiple times... it all goes back to the way we handle ball screens. We hedge in the ball screen, cover the roll guy with the backside guard and our big doesn’t recover quick enough to the post for the guard to release him and get back to the shooter. Must handle ball screen a different way.

They had 32 points at half. Have hit shots in the 2nd half.

Zone doesn’t help the problem. You don’t just make a change to make a change

 

[UpstateVol613]

They blew their entire load last night.

Pearl owns us

 

[mr.checkerboards]

This team isnt cutting down any nets in March

 

[volfanCLT]

that's like saying "weve been gashed in the run game and let's send out the dime package"

A lot of times fans just want to make a change simply to make a change.

Doesn’t matter if it makes tactical sense or not

 

[LA Vol]

Well it's what they do. They've got 400 of them this year. They do it to everyone, every game.

It's not unique to us

And yet other, lower-rated, teams have managed to play them tough and beat them.

I hate how UT caves every time a championship is on the line. Every time. Every sport. Every year.

 

[volfanCLT]

They blew their entire load last night.

Same

Admiral a complete no show.

A mid major with a guard that can bomb from deep is a recipe for an upset for us

 

[csprig9]

Lol

Funny bc it’s a fact

 

[Catbone]

Take out the godda** starters rick

 

[OGbabyaviVol]

Hey Rick, how about let’s get our best players off the court before one of them gets hurt.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

TN still doesnt have a championship I can remember in my lifetime

 

[volfanCLT]

Funny bc it’s a fact

It’s actually an opinion.

One that few, if any, share

 

[Smokey123]

Funny bc it’s a fact

You don’t know the difference between a fact and opinion apparently. Weird world we live in

 

[JCP201]

How about all these people you've never seen posting before go into the Basketball forum and bitch. It wasn't our day today. I'm with OGaby. Just take out the starters and get ready for the tournament. Hopefully we get a good bracket.

 

[OGbabyaviVol]

Admiral a complete no show.

Amazing that a senior no shows in the championship game of the conference. Frustrating.

 

[volfanCLT]

Lamonte showed up today

Balled out
