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

[TooLegit2Quit]

TTU is dogshit and deserves just as much of an L as Tennessee does. Congrats on the refs and the commentary crew for the the communal circle jerk though?

 

[MoCo_Vol]

What's to really learn? You have to hit 4 or 5 of the 20 open looks you missed?

That teams are gonna play us physically if we small ball it. And if we can’t hit 3s we need to find a way to score.

 

[sechamp2012]

Flush this game nothing to learn from it.

 

[Stoerner Fumbles]

Literally, this is pathetic. How many chances does TTU have to give us? I'm losing my mind.

I’m just glad you told me the one thing we didn’t need to worry about this year was our shooting. I’ve been resting easy since.

 

[wmcovol]

Tech was just tougher. They got on the floor for every loose ball, dominated the def glass. Neither team is anything special.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

I hate to say it, but I don't think we're very good. Nothing I've seen from this team against Power 5 opponents this year really suggests we are anything better than mediocre. I mean I'm sure some will just say I'm being a Nega-Vol, but in our games against Villanova, Colorado, and Texas Tech we have looked like a team void of any offensive skill. North Carolina seems far more like an anomaly than an actual sign of a good team.

 

[vavolfan6]

Shot poorly against Colorado and shot poorly against TT. Time to assume we are a poorly shooting team. Need to create elsewhere.

Worst basketball game I have ever watched.

Same here. Watching 5 year olds play upward basketball is more entertaining

 

[ndubvols]

I think we needed to sub a bit more in the 2nd half to try and find something. That group was on the court an awful lot considering all the travel.

 

[BreatheUT]

Did ORN foul out? This should be clear we need to find another starter.

 

[golfballs]

Should a game like this even count?

 

[VOLstuckinKY2]

Whoever thought that Jay Bilas would make a good color guy was smoking crack....

 

[VolsSportsFan]

Goodnight Vol Fans, waited all day for this, hate it wasn't in our favor. Jesus Christ loves us, that's what is important

Sure thing Brother Love.

 

[VOLifornia]

I’m here and it’s waaaaaay worse in person. This is a game where a team didn’t win, somebody just didn’t lose. Period. It was horrible all around.

 

[Peyton Berry]

What’s happened to Chandler’s aggressiveness and vision on driving the ball?!?!? It’s like that part of his game has just disappeared tonight, like he’s intimidated

 

[casetopia]

What if I told you...

 

[LordVOLdemort]

Refs made the decision who was gonna win this one.

Nah, this is on the 3-33 3 pointers

 

[VolunteerCeltic]

Tennessee probably going to lose this game, no sense of urgency or ability to hit any shots

 

[RockyTop140]

Paying Barnes too much for this garbage. How in the world does he not make any type of offensive adjustments.

 

[vol94]

Vols have only themselves to blame. Poor shooting, didn’t box out at times, missed layups and dunk, and NO attempt to rebound offensively. Plus piss poor shooting.

Barnes better find some other way to score other than three ball as Fulky isn’t the answer inside. Hopefully we won’t play against many teams with this type of length and defensive tenacity.

 

[turdherder11]

Heaven forbid Barnes calls a TO , tied with 7 seconds left to draw up a play before the end of regulation

 

[chuckiepoo]

One of these teams is about to go on a 9-0 run in OT.

called it...close.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

I’m just glad you told me the one thing we didn’t need to worry about this year was our shooting. I’ve been resting easy since.

What are you talking about? Literally all week (and really since the Tennessee Tech game) I have made posts about how inconsistent and concerning our perimeter shooting has been. Where have you been?

 

[IluvdoubleD's]

chandler strikes like a cobra.

 

[tnvols72]

Flush this game nothing to learn from it.

Only thing to learn is Tn cant shoot

 

[golfballs]

Did ORN foul out? This should be clear we need to find another starter.

He’s not very good
