The Official #11 Tennessee @ #25 Texas A&M Game Thread, 7:00 PM ET, ESPN

Over the last three games, the Vols own a +9.3 scoring margin in the second half and average 42.3 points after halftime.

Just need that for BOTH halves and we can win. Amazing to have that sort of second half scoring margin and still be 1-2 in those 3 games.

Vescovi sick, taking IVs, not expected to play.

JJJ being saved for year end. They need to see him healthy in practice before putting him in a game.

JP: missed what his “sources” said about his status.

8 players tonight.

Funny how much he gets dogged, but none of these insiders break any need.

Well, he does throw poop against the wall and some of it sticks.

Even connected insiders like Hyams have embarrassing moments (see last coaching search).
Well, he is a guy that has navigated over 30 years of radio, most of it, funding his own show without network support.

No surprise that most those who don’t like him are a little delicate.

I think that he got bad info from Big Jim on poaching the Purdue football coach and he’s never lived that one down. Hyams is very accurate with almost 100% of his reporting. Tony B not so much - but he isn’t afraid to throw out the off limits stuff.

But enough about those guys. This is the official TxAM game thread.

BTW, BJE is one of the 8 available. Whistling touch fouls and putting a TN guard in early foul trouble will decide the game.

If true, I have a hard time seeing us pull this off honestly. Only have 4 guards and one is a BJ who hasnt played all year even against the likes of Alcorn State

Buzz is being handed a W on a silver platter. Losing this one would be coaching malpractice.

How will TN scheme for the pressure that A&M is going to put on ZZ on both ends? Secret weapon BJE? Mashack putting together some offense?

He just needs to loosen the choke collars a bit. Let 'em get out in transition and run a bit. Do some pressing, shake things up. Grab some easy buckets to get the juices flowing. Sometimes a grinding style of defense impacts us as well as the opponent. Open things up a bit and let em have some fun early.

Amen. They are also tired of him chewing on them all the time. Don’t chew on them. Talk to them. If they keep doing the same stuff all the time then put them on the bench. And explain why. No need to keep chewing on them all the time. Eventually they are going to stop listening.

You mean college athletes who signed up for this shouldn’t take criticism because their feelings might get hurt?

What a soft mentality.

It’s quite evident that his players love him. They signed up for the hard coaching.

The NBA really does need to pare back the number of games. I feel bad for fans who save up for months to be able to go to a game only for the star players to be benched for that game because they’re out of gas.

So...if Santi really is out this will be a game that we either dominate inside and see ON, Aidoo, Uros, or Awaka really have a night to help out the guards OR we'll have to see ZZ, Key, Mashack, and/or BJ Edwards just go all out.

Probably need ON or Awaka to really do well with whoever they get in that 4 spot matchup.
