I think we were 11% (4-35) in regulation. If we go 5-35 we win. I can’t believe I just typed that. 5-35 and we win! 😂

The other team shot poorly too. They can say the same thing. They don't have to because they showed up for the overtime. They have already forgot how bad they shot.

I've said this a few times, but if we are going to launch 3's then we need a small ball lineup to go with it. Last night would have been another opportunity to unleash it with Tech not really having a true PG. Put JJJ at the 5 then press and trap all over the floor defensively. Then you space them out and pull their bigs out if you have 5 guys capable of handling the ball on the perimeter.

You can't live in that, but you could have a lineup like that in your back pocket when you need a spark.

After sleeping on that game last night, thankful I got to sleep with no nightmares, we will live to fight another day. Again, as I said earlier, this is basketball where 5 players plus a few second stringers can show up one night and fall flat on their face a few games. Last night, everyone was falling on their face. Even the Tech players. Hopefully, a game like this at this point in the season will really humble this the players and motivate them to practice more and play harder. Room for improvement? A) Making free throws...cost us the game by missing 8 of 16 or 50%, B) Rebounding 47-54 and C) whatever it takes to win the Personal Foul percentage. We were 22 to their 12. Zeigler, Chandler, James, and Vescovi all had 4 fouls. Ball handling at times was crazy and passing or assists turned into turnovers. Love my Vols. Work harder, play harder, and play under control. No more helter skelter. Make sure the officiating gets a copy of the film and the fouls with comments for the calls that were well...awful. When you get called for 10 more fouls, they make more of the fouls, and the margin of victory is close...you will lose everytime. Championship teams make their free throws and play under control. My take.

It almost looked like he slipped, but I just couldn't make it out. Has he said anything about it?

I’m I have no idea, someone posted that photo on Twitter. It looks painful from just looking at it lol, but hell, who knows?

Agree. I would like to see this with the team we have. Could you imagine those 2 guards running these bigs ALL over the court? Maybe not the entire game but in the 2nd half for sure. Wear them down. Wish Barnes would do this, however, its not his style. Unfortunately we are going to continue to have issues with longer teams.

It looks to me like he slipped while planting his right leg. Whether that was due to something on the floor or not, I cannot tell.

I sat there last night and was amazed at the sheer number of three pointers that bounced off the goal. How was that possible? If you stand behind the arch and take 40-50 shots all of which hit the goal, at least 10-15% ought to pass through it, right? What size basketball were they using? How big was the goal?

After looking at it from different angles and bigger/wider screen in slow motion, it looks like he might have been trying to do some sort of hot dog move and got his legs crossed. I definitely did not see him lose his shoe. We have to coach these players to focus on putting the ball through the hoop and not show-boating. Watching the game again last night, there are so many lessons to learn from all the players to the coaching staff and officiating. What a cluster of a game.

James is the last player to “hot dog” anything. I challenge you to find one play where he hot-dogged anything the last 3 years. He just doesn’t do that.

Did I miss a rule change? Back in the day - if a charge occurred AFTER the ball is released, the basket counted if the shot went in. Maybe there was a change because I don’t remember seeing the basket count in a long while. Or maybe it’s just Pat Adams being Pat Adams.

I’m like 95% sure that is an NBA rule and not a college rule

Pat Adams might have jobbed TN twice on one play. The ball was clearly released BEFORE contact AND the defender seemed to slide under the shooter after he left his feet.

The shooter clearly left his feet before the defender slid into his path. It wasn’t even close. Pat Adams was the ref who “bumped” Barnes 3 years ago, then looked back at Barnes as if Barnes initiated the bump when the replay clearly showed the true story. Anthony Jordan and Pat Adams should never officiate a UT game.

You sure the bump wasn't Mike Nance? Nance is bigger.

But all you need to do is try to find the video of Pat Adams giving the technical to Jeronne Maymon. I believe Adams also threw out a fan or announcer in a game one time. He's awful.
