The Official #13 Tennessee vs. Texas Tech Game Thread, 7:00 PM ET, ESPN

[Mr French]

We would be tied on free throws alone that are missed. Holy hell.

 

[gordonr24]

It’s ugly ugly basketball but we’re in it. Need a mini run here.

 

[JelloPuddinPup]

I was a decent player in college, not great. But man....I would've HATED to have ZZ guard me. The exact type of player that was my kryptonite.

 

[1985Vols]

They are not good. Beat these fools!!!

They really aren’t very good. No excuse to lose to them.

 

[Chris4Vols22]

Looked like over the back, and if you're not going to call that, looked like it was out on us.

 

[K-town Vol Fan]

Were fighting and scrapping....my goldfish has more backbone than some of yall.

 

[vols 30]

Geez. If we hit our point blank shots we are up by double digits

Hit FTs and We are least tied

 

[njvols]

This is ugly basketball

I knew they would make us play ugly but this is crazy

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Geez. If we hit our point blank shots we are up by double digits

Haven't done that all year so it's a common theme.

 

[Voltopia]

Just have to shoot through this slump. Ziegler, Chandler, Vescovi, Powell if he’s put out there, just have to keep hammering at that lid until it pops open.

 

[TooLegit2Quit]

No offense from either team, woof. Bailey and Ziegler won't be the only Vols to hit a 3 in this game. We'll be fine, effort on the glass is still lacking though.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

I just wish officials were consistent man.

ZZ pokes foul, TTU mugs our guards no calls.

 

[SGMVols]

They really aren’t very good. No excuse to lose to them.

They’re top 20 in Kenpom

10$ i could whip his ass

 

[1985Vols]

Every time I think we are a great shooting team, we lay an egg like this. This team is an enigma at this point.

 

[ndubvols]

Getting good looks this half. Shots will fall.

 

[VolGee4]

It’s ugly because both teams play great defense.

 

[AthensVol2007]

Looked like over the back, and if you're not going to call that, looked like it was out on us.

4 and 11 live over the back and it’s yet to be called until Uros got a ticky tack one. These officials are awful in their inconsistency.

Goldfish have backbones?
GBO!!

 

[CAVPUT]

Geez. If we hit our point blank shots we are up by double digits

All these missed FTs and how we're doing on the boards leads me to think this team is a bit fatigued by the travel. Maybe Barnes over scheduled a tad? Not making excuses, but they've put in some miles of late. That much travel can have an impact even on young athletes.

JJJ wants to know why you did not include him?

 

[VolPack22]

The offense flows better whenever Chandler and ZZ are on the floor together. Can never have enough ball handlers.

 

[1985Vols]

They’re top 20 in Kenpom

They are a decent team but we’re going to play a lot better teams in the SEC

 

[chuckb1448]

They really aren’t very good. No excuse to lose to them.

I agree, but we aren't handling their length and Defense worth a hoot

 

[TheMookieMonster]

6-24 from 3 against Colorado. 5-28 against Villanova. 2-17 tonight.

I am hating this theme.
