The Official #12 Tennessee vs. Arkansas Game Thread, 9:00 PM ET, ESPN2

Please look at our season 3 pt defense percentage before posting this.

Sheesh, they were 2-2 at that point on 3s, calm down lil buddy

 

[BreatheUT]

The bigs may have to take over.

Lol

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Man Walsh is a handsy defender, hasn’t fouled yet either apparently.

 

[vol94]

The team can’t shoot worth a da$$ from outside. Santi keeos turning it over when dribble driving. Hopefully JJJ and Phillips will try to attack the rim.

Anyone else having tv pictures quality problems during this game? Mine has an orange hazee to it and it' hard to watch.

Arkansas's game plan is to just foul

Yes. We think it looks hazy.

Yep. It’s terrible tonight. Not sure what’s going on, but it’s way off.

 

[TooLegit2Quit]

Kudos to these guys, they didn't stop battling after ZZ went down. Good effort on D and on the boards. JJ and Vescovi have to step up offensively.

What is key’s issue?

Ankle

What is key’s issue?

Reported as a ankle issue...

Bro we all have seen this enough and some of us have had it happen. Expect the worst. That acl is gone likely if not then pcl, mcl or lol one of then for sure. The only small chance could be meniscus but it rarely has that reaction from a player with Zeiglers grit. No way he lays there wincing for a sprain.

Yup. I’ve blown my PCL out and was still able to put weight on my leg. Not saying all cases are the same, but the no weight and clear pain is signaling this is a very bad injury. No need in everyone trying to sugar coat it like some are in here.

Mine does as well

 

[vol94]

Plas was an early liability. Taken out after a short stint in the game.

He is too slow on defense and for some reason he doesn’t provide any offensive rebounds .

 

[VolsFan-TX]

Yes. We think it looks hazy.

Did someone lean against the light switch?

Yes me too. I just turned it on and my gf said the lighting looks weird first thing when it came on

well it works if they don't call it. really physical game.

 

[JMSqb11]

we just dont have shooters. these shots are not even close. If Ark ever starts hitting it could be a long night

On the flip side, our defense is longer/bigger without ZZ so this could be new norm going forward with grind it out, long shot clock possessions on both ends of the court

Arkansas's game plan is to just foul

And have the refs not call them

Take off your orange glasses

 

[turbovol]

Without Ziggy we are cooked...

Vescovi with some nice drives into the paint but then makes bad decisions. Just stop and shoot the 7-footer or bounce pass inside to a big. He's twice tried passes into defensive arms and traffic and we've lost the ball.

 

[barney]

hit your gosh darn free throws for the love of god

Yup I know, it just sucks....

 

[Jimmy Football]

What is key’s issue?

The stress of the season and expectations appear to have worn him out of shape. In that state, Key will likely be stuck in place.

But if Rick can grind him back into shape and and get him polished on a few points, he could turn around and unlock the potential he showed at Indiana State.

That close up shot of him on his side told me all I needed to know about the injury. Prepare for the worst, pray for the best.
