The Official #1 Tennessee @ #8 Florida Game Thread, 7:00 PM ET, ESPN2

[Freak]

Not to sound like Butch Jones here, but we have a lot of guys who've never played in a game like this in this kind of environment. Let's hope we can settle in, and soon.

 

[Ernest T. Vol]

22 to 14 rebounds

 

[volmoon]

It’s time to wake up

 

[Purplehaze26]

Ain’t the refs. Vols playing with no emotion

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

1 assist. 7 TOs.

 

[DooleyOrangePants]

Getting beat up and not doing anything about it

Peeing down our legs in response to the bully ball Florida is playing (and the refs are allowing).

Have to man up and play with a chip.

 

[JMSqb11]

If your gonna lose one...this might pay dividends. Gotta play pissed off and hungry and not like you wanna get back on the bus.

I would love to see Boswell get action here. We need a spark .

 

[VOLinAL]

Unfortunately this might be the biggest difference between DK and Lanier.

Chaz is a more formal scorer. DK had the Mamba mentality.

 

[TheVolunteer002]

We can't handle anything with "Florida Gators" on it. Doesn't matter what sport, what year, how good/bad they are. It makes me angrier than anything else we've done or been through as a program.

 

[hUTch2002]

Need to get in the lane more. Don’t have anybody we can post up but need some drive and kicks and to start finishing at the rim

How in the world does Igor not have a post up game with his size?

 

[Zues1]

Don’t care about the likely loss. Just hate what I’m seeing from the offense. I thought we were past looking like we had no idea how to score the ball. We have quite literally no idea what to do right now.

They have two/three these type games every d year. Head scratcher

 

[Christian Lowe]

Is Florida a top ranked defense? I will hang up and listen to

Just gave up 100+ to Kentucky Saturday.

 

[Anti-shunshinepumper]

Florida simply wants this one more. We look totally unprepared. Better get our composure quick or this will get extremely ugly.

This. I knew they were going out of their minds not wanting to start 0-2 in the SEC. Little ashamed to admit it but it's why I took them at 2.5

 

[GBO18]

Unfortunately this might be the biggest difference between DK and Lanier.

Yep. He does not demand the ball yet like Knecht did.

 

[first time caller]

We may get a 100,000 dollar donation from Florida tonight.

 

[RAVOL]

Just a bad 1st half really bad. Nothing is going in rimmed out rolling around rim inside. Sometimes it happens but we are getting a beat down literally. In CHRIST Alone

 

[Allvols98]

Spread them out. Drive to the hole

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

4 for 23

 

[TheBigOne10]

I think the baseball team would have more runs than we have points by now. Yuck.

 

[berryvol]

This. I knew they were going out of their minds not wanting to start 0-2 in the SEC. Little ashamed to admit it but it's why I took them at 2.5

I took them and the under. Looking like some easy cash so far lol

 

[TheMookieMonster]

It’s lazy to just say “this team wasn’t ready” like some are. I’m sure we were prepared. This is just an ass kicking and also exposing some huge issues our offense has.

 

[vol4eva]

Wow

 

[tnvols72]

Igor tried to rebound without even jumping

 

[utVolFanInVA]

For a team that supposedly plays physical D TN never handles physical D against them. One would think if TN plays against it in practice everyday it would not impact their game performance this much. Good grief!!! Play to the physicality level the refs are blowing the whistle.

 

[VFL1127]

Dubar needs to be playing
