The Official #15 Tennessee vs. Tennessee Tech Game Thread, 3:00 PM ET, SEC Network+

[sechamp2012]

Tech not playing aggressive D just 6 fouls. We are just out of rhythm.

 

[Mr French]

That guard for TTU is better than any of our guards except Chandler

You're making that judgment on a snapshot in time. Let's see how the year plays out before pronouncing that.

 

[JoAllan]

Time to pass out bennies to everyone at halftime.

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

Missing JJJ and Powell today. Apparently Aidoo is sitting this one out as well. Mashack and Bailey choked on their opportunities. BHH seems uninterested. Vescovi is cold. Just a bad half. Good thing it is TN Tech. We’d be down 20 otherwise.

 

[golfballs]

Heard entire team has had a bug

Flu. Basically everyone has it or is getting over it

 

[Mr French]

Trim the rotation down after half please.

I hope he isn’t saving an ass chewing and is giving them one right now because there is no guarantee we win this game unless something changes.

They’ll stick with the best lineup and pull away.

 

[Stoerner Fumbles]

You two can pick the right time and place to chew ass. I don’t think any of us will get in the way.

 

[JoAllan]

Poor coaching for sure

Lol yea coach forcing them to shoot 2 for 15 from 3…….that’s for sure.

 

[Bigorange123]

Crowd as dead as the team

I thought they went back to cardboard

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

The refs are letting them play. They want to get home themselves.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

I mean surely we can’t shoot 2-15 from 3 again this half.

 

[1985Vols]

We know how you feel about Barnes.

You’re obviously related to him because nobody can say anything negative about his coaching or you’re all over them. Give me a break…. He makes some bonehead coaching moves. The only reason we beat UNC is because we had both Chandler and Ziegler playing together and what does CRB do today? He starts that deadweight Victor Bailey and ZZ sits on the bench over 10 minutes of the half. Go figure

 

[Mr French]

The coaching produced wide open looks, the player has to capitalize on the opportunity. This isn't coaching.

 

[dono]

We’re going to lose this game. Just no desire or energy in our squad today. They look so bad and so disinterested with the task at hand.

I though BB forum was a not crazy zone. Oh, well.

 

[1985Vols]

I love how every time we play poorly or don’t hit shots it’s not about coaching. Have you ever heard of a coach telling his players to get the ball inside when they’re not hitting shots? Worked for us for a couple of minutes and then CRB takes Fulky out of the game

Well yea it certainly isn’t.

Well, the counter argument is ZZ presents no contest on a shot. He wasn't lighting up the scoreboard so you sacrifice defense with the kid missing shots? Victor has the same points and was more productive on defense.

Stats always come back to the average. Always

More productive on defense? Seriously? Bailey is horrible on defense

Just about every single one of the 15 three’s we shot were wide open. They were good shots. And we were 2-15 That is just a team who wasn’t ready to play today and didn’t think they’d have to mentally prepare. Part of that is coaching. But, a lot of that is just on the team for being lazy so far.

Ever heard of not blaming the coaches for everything that goes wrong? Players have to shoulder responsibility as well.

How’s Fulkerson feeling today?

Yea…….that’s right you have NO idea. You thinks Barnes doesn’t understand this? Seriously?

 

[JCP201]

It’s the day after thanksgiving. I’m not going to read into this too much unless we somehow lose

I thought they had found their magic in the last game-- I think it's the flu bug.
