Already watching Shark Tank and Blue Bloods reruns.. I don't need anymore stress

 

[VOLinAL]

Tonight it’s defense and turnovers. Any other night we would have shooting problems then we finally look decent shooting and we forget how to play defense.

 

[Switch 625]

This game is over. Who didn’t see this coming? We are never ready to go, always sloppy with the ball and can’t cover the 3.

 

[joevols89]

where is our defense?

 

[NO SIR EEE]

Barnes has got to let go of that old school ass offense

 

[RockyTop140]

Barnes is 3-18 on the road against ranked opponents while at UT. We don’t play well on the road. This showing is pathetic so far. Offense is bad like always, and our defense is not like it usually is. Effort on rebounding is a joke too.

 

[walkenvol]

Cmon boys - let’s compete harder!

 

[Bryan1]

This is supposed to be final 4 team ………………..

Don't see it happening!

 

[KnoxtotheBoro20]

Nc moving the ball with passes, Vols moving it with dribbles.

Pretty sad getting outcoached by Hubert Davis

This is the difference it makes when you have players that can drive to the basket with speed. They aren’t having to sit in help gaps and we are

 

[Ernest T. Vol]

TN offensive rebounds...none. NC 4

 

[ColinS]

What are the excuses tonight? Start time, were tired, the refs, what???

 

[whobethis16]

Barnes has got to let go of that old school ass offense

The one that's shooting 56%?

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Yeah the 3 balls are really the difference, but we’re leaving them open.

No clue why we sag away from shooters so much when we basically play man defense.

 

[Caz]

This is supposed to be final 4 team ………………..

I don’t know, that’s what I’ve heard so far and we are not showing anything but being “over hyped”

 

[vols1071]

Looking lost on offense and no clue what are trying to do.... Barnes offense

 

[RockyTop140]

This is the difference it makes when you have players that can drive to the basket with speed. They aren’t having to sit in help gaps and we are

That about sums up our problems on offense. No true threat to drive to the basket. We thought one hit would be one. But tonight he’s been bad

 

[JoeMiltonsAgent]

Looksl Ike the focus on defensive intensity over running an actual offense is working out well so far.

 

[therealitytheory]

So it's already over?

Damn, 9 minutes in...

 

[barney]

I feel like we've been criminally overrated for 3 years in a row

 

[GBO18]

Yeah the 3 balls are really the difference, but we’re leaving them open.

No clue why we sag away from shooters so much when we basically play man defense.

Barnes team will always let teams have 3s instead of driving the ball but so far UNC is doing whatever they want.

 

[vols1071]

Awaka????

 

[GUNTERSVOL]

somebody tell the refs they don't need any help.

 

[KB5252]

Wow, just checked the score from work. I can't argue with people saying this is the same old Barnes coached team anymore. Only this year we are letting down early.

 

[vols 30]

Was looking forward all day to a great game. Instead, I'm about 1 minute from turning it off

 

[keckjm]

When you have no consistent low post threat, this happens. You need to be able to get easy buckets, but we don’t have a post up player.
