The Official #14 Tennessee @ #19 Alabama Game Thread, 9:00 PM ET, ESPN2

[Caz]

They aren't really bad choices, it's his Flat shot that's killing it

He’s got great looks, but couldn’t hit the ocean from the peer.

 

[CaliVol2009]

Good half. Score one more point than Bama in the 2nd half and we win.

Terrific analysis

 

[VolunteerCeltic]

They got good shots. You need a clue

Which shots were good? ON shooting 12-15 jumpshots early in the shot clock is not good offense except maybe in your limited view...

 

[SGMVols]

Instead of closing out the half strong, we let them go on a 10-0 run

Bama has a run or two like that every game. Everyone would’ve been thrilled with a tie at half an hour ago.

 

[BreatheUT]

Should never see the court in a close game. I think I would prefer to see Jancek

Get about the same production

 

[casetopia]

Whew mizzou is terrible this year.

 

[wmcovol]

Tn went scoreless in the last 5-6 minutes

Bad offense more than great defense

 

[TooLegit2Quit]

This Bama team ain't ****. We can't have the droughts and we can't let them have open looks at the rim. Plavsic and Bailey shouldn't see the court in the 2nd half. We can beat this team and had them shaken in the first.

 

[VolGee4]

Tn went scoreless in the last 5-6 minutes

It was 3:25 to be exact.

 

[DooleyOrangePants]

Didn’t think I’d be ticked off at a tie game tonight, but refs and shooting ourselves in the foot kept us from a lead at the half.

 

[minorvol]

Just to be clear here: this 10-0 run was entirely manufactured by the officiating. Two travels that weren't called, and a charge that was called a block. No accusations. Just saying that they've given Alabama the momentum to end the half.

100% correct. If I didn’t see the first half and you told me we would be tied at the half without Fulky and Chandler, I’d take it. Vols can still win this game. Lots to build in.

 

[BigOrangeFanatic]

Bama is very fortunate to be tied.

Could look at it the same way for us. They missed a gazillion 3s in the first half. Bet they don't in second half.

 

[ClasslessVol]

Maybe I’m pumping a little sunshine but I’ll take a tie game right now considering our situation.

 

[sechamp2012]

Getting good shots just didn’t fall last 3 minutes ON shooting short hope don’t get in his head. Terrible call on Santi should been a charge.

 

[vavolfan6]

Hopefully the next half we try to defensively contest Bama in the paint. It almost seemed like the guys were instructed to let Bama blow by as not to get in foul trouble.

 

[VolunteerCeltic]

100% correct. If I didn’t see the first half and you told me we would be tied at the half without Fulky and Chandler, I’d take it. Vols can still win this game. Lots to build in.

All of this is true

That they did..have to give the “criminal” tide some love

 

[vavolfan6]

No sunshine pumping...you've been booted from the server

 

[therealitytheory]

More Powell and BHH.

Less Bailey and Uros...shots by ON

 

[DooleyOrangePants]

Whew mizzou is terrible this year.

UGA is even worse. Hate to see it….

 

[casetopia]

I like how well we played early. Would have been easy to be rattled without 2 starters in there.

 

[Switch 625]

Bama has a run or two like that every game. Everyone would’ve been thrilled with a tie at half an hour ago.

I’m just saying it was a missed opportunity to run it up before halftime.

 

[tnvols72]

It was 3:25 to be exact.

seemed like 5-6 but either way they went scoreless

 

[W.TN.Orange Blood]

Bama runs away with it in the 2nd half.

Trying that old reverse psychology thing huh?

 

[walkenvol]

Bama runs away with it in the 2nd half.

Be ready for the bump
