The Official #10 Tennessee vs. #1 Alabama Game Thread, 7:00 PM ET, ESPN2

[Vols All Day]

Where was Mashack going?

 

[JCP201]

Plavsic playing well-- Don't like that we already have three fouls and Z is in foul trouble.

 

[vol94]

When Mashack touches the ball, bad things happen.

I cringe every time he touches the ball.

 

[Volstylexx]

Alabama will get tighter and tighter as this ticks down. Any semblance of an offense and TN takes this.

 

[ColinS]

Uros tends to pull out a good game everytime you get to the point that you have completely give up on him

 

[AthensVol2007]

Bama is great but they’re not the best team in the country imo

Their record and level of competition says they’re at minimum the most deserving as well as the most consistent.

 

[Freak]

Mashack might have the worst handles of any guard in the SEC.....

It's like he's trying to do things that are outside of his comfort zone. Needs to know his limits.

 

[DowntownVol]

It's tough. We need Mashack's defense on Miller, but on offense we're playing 4 on 5.

My wife just said the same exact thing!

 

[87&91ALUM]

Solid effort. Just please make shots including free throws. Want a win sooo bad here.

I trust him more than any of the other bigs

Agree.

I think by next year the game will slow down for him on O. He’s there on D.

 

[87&91ALUM]

We have to have good play from Uros against these top teams.

 

[TrapVol]

Wth are they doing on offense

It’s by design. Tennessee doesn’t know what they are doing on offense, but neither does Bama.

 

[Ernest T. Vol]

Mashack lost on offense. Great defending. I don't anyone knows what he should do.

 

[Volstylexx]

When Mashack touches the ball, bad things happen.

Unless it’s on the defensive end….then great things happen.

That's the catch 22, right. Miller averages 21 a game. He has 15 tonight. At what point do you go with "offense" over Mashack.

 

[Freak]

I cringe every time he touches the ball.

When he takes off on the dribble, it's bad news.

 

[vol94]

5-11 From foul line.

 

[ColinS]

Aidoo has played well too

 

[vol94]

When he takes off on the dribble, it's bad news.

Usually dribbles ball off his leg. Reminds me of a rec player I coached.

 

[87&91ALUM]

Uros out.

 

[DooleyOrangePants]

That's the catch 22, right. Miller averages 21 a game. He has 15 tonight. At what point do you go with "offense" over Mashack.

Glad I’m not getting paid to make those decisions. Right now, I’d say stay with the defense and keep Miller off his pace until proven otherwise.

 

[Freak]

I think by next year the game will slow down for him on O. He’s there on D.

Agree. But he has to realize what his limitations are right now.

 

[Caculator]

When Mashack touches the ball, bad things happen.

he has to keep looking for his shot though
