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

Not gonna win many games until JJJ and Phillips are back in the rotation…

Wasn’t winning a ton lately with them

 

[YankeeVol]

We were straight up dominating the first half until the bulls hit officiating allowed A&M to get back in. Serioisly we don’t do anything about it and it goes across all sports. We should be flipping the **** out.

Someone that is good at editing needs to compile the ridiculousness of the calls against us.

Some of the calls have been pretty bad

 

[Tenacjim]

Yes people complaining about the refs or fouls don’t know what they’re talking about. We are fouling every possession.

IF we are fouling, so is aTm. But they aren’t calling those….

those 2 are not that much of a difference maker, both are streaky shooters and JP plays out of control more than he plays under control.

 

[ndubvols]

Needs Phillips and jjj back, then go small. Zzz, vescovi, Phillips, jjj, aidoo. Sub in mashack for phillips/jjj when needed

We aren’t getting to the basket to draw fouls.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

I’d be going at the rim or pump fake and draw fouls every possession.

A&M has all their starters with 2 (except Marble somehow lol)

 

[knoxchief]

If you can't see us reaching in, or ZZ cutting in front of the A&M guy then you need to study up on the rule book

Undertood but meanwhile they are hacking the sht out of us and not getting called for it!

 

[VOLINVONORE]

When we get a lead, it seems that we want to try to be the globetrotters. We dribble all over the place, fake shots, throw fancy passes, and throw the ball away, or, have to hurt a shot and miss most of them. Why not take one of the open shots even though there are 15 seconds on the shot clock that most of they can hit. And again, we miss critical free throws.

 

[vavolfan6]

They have 2 dudes with the majority of their points...how about we clamp them down!!

 

[GBO18]

This game might be 3hrs with all the fouls.

Geez you are clueless

 

[87&91ALUM]

Again, I see Tennessee fouls for sure. But, Texas A&M is holding, grabbing, body blocking, etc., and they get away with what Tennessee gets tagged. I mean coming out of the gate second half and Tennessee had 6 fouls before Texas A&M got called one time. That is ridiculous refs....

 

[Vols2015]

We look like all we are doing is running around afraid to take a shot.

 

[Vol49er]

I don’t expect the “best team in the country.” I except better than how we’re playing today. It’s really that simple.

Would it be nice? Of course. But idk, theyre college kids. Theyre not going to be consistent. I dont see the utility in willing yourself to be upset about it. I'm not trying to be obnoxious, its just something I really dont get about people who are overly negative. Like if someone is overly positive, even if unreasonable, that makes sense. Theyre trying to enjoy themselves. Its sports, it doesnt really matter, you have license to be unreasonable so why not be unreasonably positive about your team?

 

[Butch s]

How is it even possible to airball that wide open mid range jumper. As a guard who’s only scoring comes from shooting

Doesn’t every player’s scoring come from shooting??????????

 

[YankeeVol]

those 2 are not that much of a difference maker, both are streaky shooters and JP plays out of control more than he plays under control.

JJJ when healthy is a difference maker IMO. The problem is he hasn’t been reliable healh wise at all.

 

[WhenUrVolUrVFL]

Lol A&M has 15-18 free throws.

We have 4-7. Unreal.

 

[sechamp2012]

Awaka please hit a FT

 

[Putbacks]

There you go….”the big difference is the FT shooting”.

 

[VolFreakJosh]

If you can't see us reaching in, or ZZ cutting in front of the A&M guy then you need to study up on the rule book

If we’re fouling then so is A&M.

 

[RockyTop140]

Doesn’t ever players scoring come from shooting??????????

I meant jumpshots

 

[Vol49er]

those 2 are not that much of a difference maker, both are streaky shooters and JP plays out of control more than he plays under control.

This is a bad take. More to basketball than shooting

 

[87&91ALUM]

Fouls now 6 UT to 4 Texas A&M....it makes a huge difference when you take players out in foul trouble.

 

[Tenacjim]

We aren’t getting to the basket to draw fouls.

Lot’s of our fouls were not near the basket either…
