100 point eh. Wow

 

[VolFreakJosh]

Knecht is a player and gives his all.

I’m not sure it’s a season ending injury but he’ll likely be out until SEC play starts.

 

[amaralfan1]

Another game where the loss can be explained by free throw disparity. We either need to start playing cleaner... or really getting on the refs to even things up.

 

[VolunteerCeltic]

After they booed him….

I didn't hear the boos

 

[fear]

well, if you would have told me tn is gonna score in the 90s and lose i would have laughed in your face, but here we are.

 

[Dadof2Vols]

Stop. They pounded us inside. We had no answer.

 

[BlackCreekVol]

First one to 100 wins....wtf

 

[Lurker]

Nope. Brilliant scheduling , barnsey

Incorrect. A game to grow on. And the match up wasn’t up to Barnes. Proud of the Vols.

 

[tnvols72]

Carolina will still lose a bunch of games

 

[DooleyOrangePants]

The replay wasn't that bad I agree. But his reaction looked a lot worse.

Hopefully it’s just his reaction to being out. He is a competitor through and through

Seen injuries that look worse come out ok and minor. But have seen minor looking ones turn out to be season ending. Stay tuned.

 

[GBO18]

Gainey I hope you find your shot haha

 

[TooLegit2Quit]

I see now why the refs went so hard maintaining that home whistle in the first half. Paid dividends for a UNC team that didn't hit a shot the last 7 minutes of the game.

 

[Creeker]

I didn't hear the boos

I heard it after he tried to get up and went back down but I think the crowd was reacting to seeing the replay not him going down. Home crowd felt he just stepped on the ankle and it shouldn’t have been a foul.

 

[amaralfan1]

Stop. They pounded us inside. We had no answer.

And yet it was still winnable.

 

[BreatheUT]

Too many veterans on this team for the lack of focus and effort for their first half performance. Shouldn’t happen with this squad.
Also, this would have been a tobe awaka game imo.

Awaka would have eaten on North Carolina. No inside offense for either team.

 

[VolunteerCeltic]

This team is not a a good defensive team at this point, which is surprising for a Rick Barnes team.

 

[Voltopia]

Zeigler just isn't who he was offensively. 21.4% from three so far this year. Hate to see it, he's still got some dog in him, but his shot simply isn't there. Hope he and the staff can figure it out.

 

[berryvol]

After they booed him….

They were booing the refs when they showed the replay bc there was no contact other than Knecht stepping on the foot.

 

[BlackCreekVol]

Hard to say this team hasn't been tested early. I hope it pays off in the long run

 

[7maxims]

Awaka would have eaten on North Carolina. No inside offense for either team.

He’s div 2 level player

0 points from Vescovi

And gained shoots 13 times.

Stop. They pounded us inside. We had no answer.

Small ball jump shooting doesn't add up to free throw shooting.

 

[Zues1]

36-14 free throw attempts
