The Official #1 Tennessee @ Texas Game Thread, 6:00 PM ET, ESPN

[Namorto1]

Kinda disappointed that Dubar (4 minutes) and Phillips (5 minutes) didn’t get more run in the 1st half.

 

[vol94]

For an SEC game that crowd is dead. Perhaps they are reeling from the football lost.

Students still on break. And as you said, they played last night so probably a bit down, plus traveled back today.

Tre Johnson is something and being 6’6” with that quickness is a tough ask for ZZ

I like Dubar but I just get uneasy when he gets the ball. Always feel like he is on the verge of a TO/ bad pass

 

[vavolfan6]

Glad we are up by 2 at the half. Frustrated though becuase Texas has hit some crazy shots beyond the arc. Offense has felt discombobulated at times, but at the same we should be up more when shooting 54% from 3. Will be hard to match that next half.

Okpara and Milicic played pretty well and stayed out of foul trouble

 

[Grudenator]

Time to expand the ignore list

No need to announce bud

 

[Orangeslide]

This game is going exactly like it should on pace to be in the 60s. Cut down on the turnovers and use more back door cuts. They are overplaying the passing lanes. Gainey struggles with physicality. Buckle up gonna be a street fight to score. Hopefully Johnson comes back down to earth. Gotta rebound to win these type of games.

Maybe Shack needs to switch to Johnson.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

We need a few 6’6” lengthy wing guys man.

 

[walkenvol]

I’m impressed with Texas’ defensive - understand their coach studied under one of the greats! Not getting easy shots so we have to value each possession and quit the turnovers.

Ours is in the portal

 

[Anti-shunshinepumper]

Ours is in the portal

Hate to admit it after how he quit on us but we could use him for sure.

 

[SGMVols]

because he isn’t good

 

[SGMVols]

Why, so he can throw some more corner threes off the side of the backboard?

no Baskets come easy. Gotta man up if you take it to the rim.

 

[vol94]

Lack of depth will probably hurt UT. We are one injury away from being a very average team.

If we get good matchups . . . This team’s ceiling is probably like last year - elite 8. We are short a dominant big man for me to predict this as a final four team.

Having said that - we all know the NCAA tournament is a crap shoot.

Agree. Hate it but, agree. I don’t think we have enough inside.

It difficult to find quality big men, but we could be difficult to stop if w he had a big man who could with agility and soft shot. In the oast when we’ve lost, our bigs got bullied inside or didn’t have enough athleticism to finish. Aidoo and ON had moments but….

 

[vols 30]

Let's get a good start here

 

[Orangeslide]

Hope we score on first possession

 

[vols 30]

And it's a turnover

 

[BigOrangeFanatic]

Terrible.

 

[Orangeslide]

I see turnovers will still be a problem.

 

[volsarelife1]

Great way to start the half

 

[TheMookieMonster]

So. Many. Turnovers. Come on….

What was that Chaz
