The Official #12 Tennessee vs. North Carolina State Game Thread, 10:00 PM ET, ESPN2

[vols 30]

Gainey is bad

He's been a disappointment. Streak shooter, but he's cold 90% of the time

 

[Namorto1]

We have missed 3 layups...Aidoo, Mashack and Gainey.

 

[NighthawkVol]

We are playing pretty bad right now. That’s 3 misses right at the rim.

That’s what we do. Par for the course.

 

[Fisherjustinw22]

Gainey needs to sit beside Daddy and learn how to coach the rest of the game. He has no future in basketball.

 

[orangejuice]

Ok, need Knecht to take over. This current group just looks sloppy on offense.

 

[Caz]

We’ve only allowed 29.9% on opposing threes.

Great stat, but I would have thought it would be a lot better as teams always come out hot and I suppose they cool off.
I will say we leave some awful good looks to the opposing teams.

 

[DooleyOrangePants]

Really bad sequence for Gainey. Miss a bunny and then hand the ball to your defender next trip down. Would have been better to just land and take the travel

Don’t forget the stupid foul after the turnover. Just terrible. Anyone else would be doghoused forever.

Lol damn

 

[Christian Lowe]

We don’t look like a final four team very often.

 

[TAF]

why would ANY 6'6"+ guy EVER try to lay the ball in...and miss...

RAM IT HOME!

 

[LordVOLdemort]

They are 44% FG and 50% 3pt, while we are 31% and 12% respectively… embarrassing

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

Why was Knecht on the bench

 

[ColinS]

Don’t forget the stupid foul after the turnover. Just terrible. Anyone else would be doghoused forever.

He is getting a pass on everything. This want sit well with guys not seeing the floor. Time to give somebody else an oppurtunity.

 

[VolsAgainstTheWorld15]

Make the bunnies, make Horne earn every shot he takes. The formula is simple, but we’re not off to a good start.

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

Jesus make the layups

Even Jesus would struggle with the slick Spalding.

 

[KTrain]

Don’t usually miss this many bunnies the whole game, even Aidoo missed one a few inch from rim

 

[TheMookieMonster]

You would think the law of averages would mean we are due a hot 3-point shooting night eventually. Tonight doesn’t seem to be the night though.

 

[Dougie_D]

I feel like we are going too fast on offense than normal .. game plan?

 

[amaralfan1]

The rims are giving us the middle.finger so far.

It's the ball. The same one we've had to play with our last two trips to the Barclay Center (which were notoriously poor shooting games). No one life's the Spalding TF 1000

 

[VolArmy74]

Why even try that lob to a triple teamed Awaka?

 

[DooleyOrangePants]

ZZ finding the stroke again. Good to see

 

[87&91ALUM]

Finally a three from ZZ

 

[tnvols72]

wow, this team ...smh

 

[Voljayton]

Wow what was all that mess?

 

[TheMookieMonster]

We are missing so many dunks and layups this is wild.
