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

[Big Orange#1]

Watching the ball bounce on the floor??!!??

 

[therealitytheory]

Waited two possessions too late to get Vescovi back in.

 

[VolArmy74]

In what world does it seem like a good idea to throw an alley oop to Uros in a crowd?

 

[87&91ALUM]

63-62

 

[casetopia]

Announcers all excited now

 

[peerless98]

go get the rebound!!!!

We were shocked there was no whistle and gave up an easy bucket

 

[TheMookieMonster]

We had a chance to bury the Tide and we didn’t do it. Beating ourselves at this point, what else can you say. Someone has to step up and make a shot and no one can do it.

 

[marvin616]

Pretty much the worst that could happen just now

 

[wmcovol]

Bailey just stops sometimes on defense. Didn’t even try to defend that 3

 

[JMSqb11]

So these last 4 minutes Barnes has to roll with Vescovi, JJJ, Powell, Uros, and Bailey.

 

[BreatheUT]

If we lose this game this was a clear blown game. We should be beating these guys by 10+.

 

[golfballs]

Where is BHH?? Would love to get some offense near the rim

 

[TooLegit2Quit]

100% that's on Barnes for letting that lineup go way too long. His inability to call a TO has killed us one too many a time.

 

[VolunteerCeltic]

Barnes needs to keep this team focused, offense has looked like hot trash last few possessions

 

[vavolfan6]

We has 3 possessions to go up by more than 6 and failed each time...we leas the whole game, yet don't pull away. We need to be smarter and more focused when it matters and we would coast...

No

 

[vols 30]

Bailey had several decent games last year. I'm not sure what happened, but he isn't bringing anything

 

[OutofStateFan]

Every time #13 for Bama touches the ball, he walks big-time before he dribbles!! Is this just overlooked now since he's a five-star??

 

[Voltopia]

Jimmy's all hot and happy now that Bama's
back in it.

 

[ndubvols]

I’m as big of JJJ fan as there is, but not his best game tonight. He really needs to develop something on offense outside spotting up for 3

 

[patrick]

Barnes fix this ****ing lineup. That to was 4 possessions too late dammit. You are on the road without your two best players. take the ****ing timeout and calm your team down

Amen brother. But watch it - you about to get flamed because you know Barnes never waits too long to use a to.

 

[VolArmy74]

We had a chance to bury the Tide and we didn’t do it. Beating ourselves at this point, what else can you say. Someone has to step up and make a shot and no one can do it.

Unfortunately the lineup on the floor is a freshman and 4 people who can't score.

 

[JMSqb11]

Powell and bhh in for Bailey and Plavsic now please

I don’t know man. Uros is getting boards pretty easily while cashing in free throws. I honestly would let him finish this game.

 

[SouthKnoxVOL]

Dude...stfu...unless you've coached high school basketball or above then sit the hell down.

 

[GBO18]

So these last 4 minutes Barnes has to roll with Vescovi, JJJ, Powell, Uros, and Bailey.

Hopefully ZZ instead of Bailey.
