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

Hopefully it's not as bad as it looks... But if so it will fold us or make the team put aside the things holding them back mentally and play loose and let all hang out

 

[Clad in Big Orange]

Arkansas's game plan is to just foul

Yep. Refs won’t call all of them and Vols won’t make all the free throws.

 

[DeepSpringsVol]

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.

My acl popped in 2012 cutting on crossover and defender pushed me as my foot was locked for cutback. I aint Kobe. I missed the freethrows

 

[Ernest T. Vol]

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.

A lot bigger load on Vescovi now.

Did someone lean against the light switch?

It’s almost as if they replaced a few of the white lights with a sick version of our orange. Look at the bottom of the court shadows - it’s a really, really strange hue.

 

[Adam Sandler]

We thinking there’s any chance ZZ didn’t tear an acl? Hate to see it after how hard he’s worked. And can’t imagine a deep tourney run without him.

 

[vols 30]

JP is so loose with the ball.

 

[Hoosier_Vol]

Hogs have thrown up some of the worst shots I’ve seen all season!

 

[tnvols72]

Phillips cant hold on to the ball for nothing

 

[barney]

just stop and set the offense. we don't need to score in transition every time.

That would put him out next year too, I think

 

[vol94]

Let’s hope for the best with ZZ. If he is done then prayers for the young man. We will need point guard by committee and take it from there.

 

[utkCREW]

STOP SHOWING HIM TWEAKING THAT KNEE -- those of us who have experienced that kind of damage... its making my shite hurt!

 

[volinbham]

no way - not another

 

[Tnphil]

Might wish we had brought the freshman on some more if ZZ is out for awhile.

 

[TheBigOne10]

Arkansas fouling the sh** out of us every play

Arkansas fouling the sh** out of us every play

Need to send in Uros

 

[Clad in Big Orange]

Arkansas is playing rugby

 

[SouthKnoxVOL]

Phillips just doesn't have it

 

[barney]

how is that not a foul????

 

[VolsFan-TX]

It’s almost as if they replaced a few of the white lights with a sick version of our orange. Look at the bottom of the court shadows - it’s a really, really strange hue.

the picture reminds me of my tv as a kid in the early 70s.

 

[TrapVol]

Phillips cant hold on to the ball for nothing

He keeps trying to dribble through too much traffic.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Damn…Arkansas looks dirty AF with how they defend. Just foul and grab and hope it’s not called.

 

[Ernest T. Vol]

Undercut on Awaka. They need to look at that again.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

I just can’t enjoy this game anymore. Like, I’m numb. We’re toast without Zakai.
