The Official #10 @ #17 North Carolina Game Thread, 7:15 PM ET, ESPN

We’ve played three straight legit teams. We don’t belong and it’s not even close.

What's disappointing is that they are playing the softest on defense against the softest of the 3 teams.

 

[PKT_VOL]

Worst defense (and defensive rebounding) I can remember under Barnes.

At least Barnes agreed with me lol

 

[Caz]

Aidoo getting eat alive

 

[tnvols72]

Exactly. It’s weird how obsessed people are with it.

Makes no sense, its not like they have an effect on the outcome of the game

 

[vols1071]

Watching Awaka in the bench he ain't clapped or anything when something good happens.

 

[Volnbeers]

Has UNC missed a shot?

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Went to dinner with the wife and got home a bit late so recorded the first half and finally caught up through all the commercials, wish I just stayed out to dinner. What a heartless and gutless performance. 61 in the first half??????

 

[amaralfan1]

Will UNC go over 100 by the 10 minute mark?

 

[DooleyOrangePants]

No freaking defense on the 3. Wide open and time to set and shoot.

Ridiculous and completely inexcusable

 

[tnvols72]

Vescovi is useless

 

[Caz]

Damn Barnes go zone because you clearly can not play man and guard a three.
It can’t be any worse!

 

[Stoerner Fumbles]

Watching Awaka in the bench he ain't clapped or anything when something good happens.

That’s our biggest problem.

 

[BradstarVols]

Shooting 56% which is really good for Tennessee and yet they choose to play terrible defense on the other side

 

[therealitytheory]

Vescovi...ugh.

 

[Sudden Impact]

Barnes worse BB since he has been here.

 

[wmcovol]

Has UNC missed a shot?

Yeah but they got the rebound & put it in

 

[volsarelife1]

Vescovi has had about 5 minutes of good basketball all season so far. Very concerning

 

[T2Vol]

UNC shooting 50% (9-18) from three. Unreal shooting night for them.

 

[VolunteerCeltic]

Defense is pretty bad, this team may not make NCAA

 

[Voljayton]

Wow we can't even box out. We're failing at FUNDAMENTALS. That's not a good sign.

 

[KnoxtotheBoro20]

We are getting worked by a freshman PG

 

[TheMookieMonster]

What a waste of an offensive performance from this team. We are actually shooting the ball really well but no one on this team is interested in playing defense.

 

[Caz]

Wow we can't even box out. We're failing at FUNDAMENTALS. That's not a good sign.

Might make a good NIT run, but maybe not playing this way

 

[amaralfan1]

Barnes worse BB since he has been here.

I think when this one is over we will find out it's Barnes worst game of his career.

 

[therealitytheory]

I'd play Mashack over Gainey.
