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

Well, that’s where most of their shots will be coming from the rest of the game…

But the announcer is trying to say he is the best PG in the league. I say no effing way! Honestly, don't notice him one but except at the free throw line.

Fouls 19 UT and 14 TAMU. A lot of their fouls are gifts for 2+1...and they have been in the bonus.

 

[Cartervol]

Inconsistency showing up again. This team doesn't listen to coaching or isn't getting any.. Zeigler is killing this team at times.

 

[sechamp2012]

This is what I predicted when I seen the ref crew not that they are against Vols just our style of D has to have officials that go by the “Let ‘em Play” if their blowing whistle every other floor trip we are losing, that’s why we won’t go far in tournament officiating will get us we play rough tough D with hand checking etc,,

 

[volsarelife1]

I honestly don’t know if it’s as much great defensive gameplan as it is horrible shooting by TN. This is my first time watching them live this year and my expectations for the season are definitely different now I’ve seen it live.

That's very negative and being a nega vol. Haven't you bitched people out all season for the same thing

 

[Voldawg1970]

Game over. Lack of consistency. No offense. Turnovers. Ziegler out of control and in foul trouble as usual. Vescovi can’t shoot inside the 3 point line and can’t stay off the floor. Key is cold. I would rather Plavic be playing smacking people around. At this point he will be in soon as the rest of the team fouls out. Absolutely horrible basketball.

 

[ThreatLevelOrange]

Team isn’t the same without JJJ. Philips is also much better than the guys filling in for him. If we get both back, we can beat someone with a pulse. Without them, not seeing it.

 

[Tenacjim]

At this point, the game seems to be pretty much over with. Barnes ought to throw a couple of walk ins out there just to send a message to a few guys that they can either get their stuff together or sit on the bench.

The way fouls are piling up, he will only HAVE walkons soon….

 

[RockyTopJA]

Like a damn car wreck at this point. I should turn it off and watch something else but my morbid curiosity just won’t let me.

 

[OrangeBoro]

Some want to blame the refs every game. AM is getting the calls because they are attacking, Tenn still dribbling the ball 30 feet out with 5 seconds on the shot clock

 

[djwes]

Best you can do with good defense and little or no scoring threat is lose close games

 

[tnvols72]

You realize Grant Williams never averaged 20 points here (or 19 for that matter)? Youre acting like a ten ppg scorer is nothing. And besides, theyre both great rebounders that enable us to play small and not have to play Uros and Awaka together, for instance. Thats how there's more to scoring than shooting

they were both playing before they go hurt and the team looks no different then than it does now. Bottom line is TN does not have any shooters and you got to have shooters. By the way neither one of these can carry Grants jock.

 

[VolunteerCeltic]

This. This is obvious. You’re an idiot if you blame it on anything else.

Team has lost its Mojo, and after watching Barnes press conference after KY loss, he has no answers and knows this team is finished

Who is overreacting now? You can see the exact same on TV haha

 

[Caz]

Tn does not have any shooters

We have plenty, but unfortunately, we have no one that can you place the ball in the cylinder

 

[vavolfan6]

I mean just continues the trend. Colorado. Florida. Candy. Mizzou. Losses adding up quick. Looks like a 5-7 seed.

That's fine. We can be a 7 seed. In reality we are a 2 seed at full health. We should still beat whoever us in front of us.

 

[Madscientistvol]

This is not fun basketball. I would rather look average all season than look mighty early on and fall so hard.

 

[VolGee4]

We suck men. Let’s hear everyone blame the refs again tonight. That’s all we done the last 7 games is blame the announcers and the refs. Nothing about we suck.

I’ve said it for years. So it’s nothing new. You can say 7 games, but the college game has been bad for years.

 

[Volstylexx]

38% of Aggies points have come from the free throw line

 

[Baulder]

I don’t get that. How can the official with arguably the worst view make the call?!?!

I wouldn't say the worst view I would say where he was it would have been impossible for him to see anything. He just saw the A&M guy go spilling and assumed he had to have been pushed. Pretty sure they are doing it all night calling an assumed foul instead of seeing one.

Is this the same as pocket presents or????

They are flat outplaying Tn

 

[Alwaysopen711]

When have we tried to score in the paint and not draw a foul? 3 or 4 baskets? No drives to the basket AT ALL

The folks over in the RF think the fix is in and it’s allllllll the refs fault we lose our games. Definitely not our poor offense. Definitely not our turnovers.

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

Might as well just play a game of H-O-R-S-E. It’d be about as interesting as watching a free throw shooting contest.
