wheels coming off

 

[BigOrange15]

Well, the wheels sure fell off this mother ****er.

 

[rockytop9808]

Well, good thing I've got something else to do.

 

[SeanJean]

We're playing one on five every possession and Memphis is doing whatever they want in transition.

 

[govols120]

Michigan laid out a great gameplan for us in terms of using the entire shot clock and slowing the game down. Too bad we decided to attempt to run it with a team we don't have the speed or bodies to keep up with.

Then again, they're literally hitting everything. Not much you can do about that sometimes.

 

[MemphisCanes]

Turnovers are killer.

 

[Hardwood_fanatic]

Too much one on one, bad shots. Somebody has to step up and lead on the floor, the game isn't out of hand yet.

 

[Vols4ever]

looks pretty bad!

 

[Midfielder10]

Wow. We never got out of bed this morning. Very disappointing performance.

 

[bigsteve13]

and this is where you can tell how young we are. getting lost on defense will plague us all season

 

[tnvols72]

what happened to the def.

 

[golfballs]

still tons of time

 

[Mullet Vol]

In the bonus and shooting jumpers. The brilliant bball IQ continues.

 

[Berry4Heisman14]

Memphis is hitting everything. We're taking stupid shots. And turning the ball over. This one might get ugly.

 

[tnvols72]

it would help if they would stop playing out of control

 

[Cdywolfe]

That run may have been to much to overcome. It's not over yet but that'll be hard to overcome.

 

[SeanJean]

Realistically, Memphis is playing about as good as they can. They aren't missing anything and we are playing right into their hands by taking bad shots on offense. Our team looks to be pretty stupid still on offense. We played solid team ball for the first 2/3'ds against Duke, and that is why it was a good game. When we don't this is the result.

 

[MemphisCanes]

Gotta sit McRae for those terrible shots.

 

[omghulkhands]

when will the stupid shots end.....WHEN!

 

[OrangeUTopia]

Answering some questions this week. Proving they can't play with the big boys. Guess it's back to good 'ol Tennessee basketball.

 

[BigPapaVol]

and this is where you can tell how young we are. getting lost on defense will plague us all season

Question is why are manning up?

 

[govols120]

If we can slow the game down and force Memphis to run an actual offense we'll make up ground. At least with that, we can settle down and focus on forcing bad shot attempts instead of handing them easy threes in transition.

 

[DrunkJohnny]

Playing Memphis' game. If we don't change it, it's going to get real real ugly.

Still time. GBO

 

[Cartervol]

This is why you just can't jump to conclusions about a team early in the year.

 

[Calculon]

Playing half of a half won't beat anyone. This is pathetic watching these guys throw up bad shots and get out if position on defense. Talent doesn't account for mental errors. This game is probably over already.
