The Official #1 Tennessee vs. Miami Game Thread, 6:30 PM ET, ESPN

[Anti-shunshinepumper]

Mashacks hustle is incredible

 

[GBO18]

Our lack of post player will be an issue again this year but luckily there is no Edey in college basketball this year.

This game is looking like the curse of #1

I hate us being #1. Just want a 1 or 2 seed in the tournament.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

I thought we were about to make a run when we went up 6 but that disappeared.

Need to wake up.

 

[KnoxtotheBoro20]

Defense has been bad so far

Defense has been freaking atrocious

 

[Unconditional Surrender]

Miami showed up for a war.

 

[VOLinAL]

Defense just not looking great. Miami shooting really well.

 

[tnvols72]

I'm still waiting for Jay Bilas to stop talking.

You better hit mute then lol

 

[GBO18]

At least the refs aren’t calling a million fouls.

 

[KnoxtotheBoro20]

Felix gonna show up tonight?

He hasn’t played well in the paint when posted up all year. He never had position once in that last defensive possession

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Them winning the rebound battle is a bit worrying, they have better length. Definitely a team that can beat us if they keep shooting it this well.

 

[Ernest T. Vol]

7-0 run by Canes

 

[VolsSportsFan]

If they have a bad defense, we are not exploiting it.

Vols seem a little low energy to start and not going after balls quickly

This. If we tighten up our defense we should pull away in the 2nd half but sometimes the other teams shots just fall all night.

Yep too many 3s. They are at 50%

 

[Clad in Big Orange]

This game makes no sense

2nd period.

Everything good for us starts with D. Definitely need to tighten up

 

[TheMookieMonster]

This game makes no sense

Makes perfect sense. Miami has a very good offense.

 

[PreacherVol2]

This is a good test for us. Miami is well-coached, and they are quite athletic.

 

[StoneokeyVol]

That's how we play defense

 

[VolsSportsFan]

Stop settling for 3s.

 

[Chaz-Vol]

That's some ZZ defense

 

[ttocswob]

Nice corner 3
