The Official #16 Tennessee @ Louisiana State Game Thread, 2:00 PM ET, ESPN

[Chris4Vols22]

All things considered, it could be far worse than a 5 point deficit after that half. Can we please play better in the 2nd? I want to say we can’t possibly play worse but I remember the Ole Miss game and Florida game.

I agree. After all that and 5 points? Lots of ball left.

 

[1985Vols]

Did Pruitt take over for the last play before half.

Guarantano taking a sack

 

[Lankykong]

Impactful suspect officiating. Not the cause of our deficit, but obviously not helping.

I feel like it hasn’t been hugely against us overall but LSU took advantage of the free pass to walk before we did

 

[VOLnVANDYland]

How many times did smart travel this half...??? I saw at least 5, only 2 called

 

[Lankykong]

So f***ing stupid. I hate makeup calls. Just get it right.

I guess at least it was on Days? Probably more important to their team, at least according to the announcers

 

[RAVOL]

Giving up 31 against this O is good. Vescovi and James can't go 1-7 i believe from 3. Especially when all of them were wide open. In CHRIST Alone

 

[Bigkat]

Pons and Fulky have disappeared this yr!!

 

[sechamp2012]

We got this, no one in foul trouble.
Well distributed minutes
Can’t keep shooting this bad whole game ODDS against it

It’s Pat Adams. Go watch his technical call on Jeronne Maymon. He’s a bozo.

 

[Volfan2012]

well, if EJ is in in place of Fulk or Pons, then the latter doesn't pick up a foul. More than a couple of minutes is a killer though offensively.

Oke is the better choice as the third guy inside. Probably even Pember or Plavsic.

Hope you’re right, very fortunate to only be down 5

 

[turdherder11]

Really wish we would try the 4 guard set vs an lsu team that has really bad transition defense.

 

[Lankykong]

Pons and Fulky have disappeared this yr!!

Fulk had several rebounds/tips. Offense has disappeared though. I thought Pons played good defense.

People need to get used to Fulk and Pons not scoring now that we changed our offense to basically be Springer/Johnson drives and ISO

 

[Namorto1]

We can’t ask our two freshman to carry a win against LSU on the road. Others have to contribute. Vescovi, Pons, Fulkerson, Bailey, and James have a combined 7 pts, 3-15 from the field.

 

[Creeker]

Gotta make shots and take better care of the ball. We are out rebounding them, we’ve made just as many 3s surprisingly, but we are missing bunnies. Only 29% from the field to their 44%

 

[rocketskates]

I don’t understand why short shorts always has the game of his life against us.

 

[Berry4Heisman14]

These refs look like the ref we had a few years ago who it turns out was a huge LSU fan. Y’all remember that?

Streak shooters both of them

 

[Lankykong]

Really wish we would try the 4 guard set vs an lsu team that has really bad transition defense.

We started the game with that and then the lineup got abused on defense and like no offensive rebounds

Edit: double posted the beginning somehow

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

Somebody needs to tell the refs that calling a foul on the floor when not in the bonus IS NOT a makeup call for getting clobbered in the act of shooting. Refs suck. As usual.

 

[MAD]

Down 5 after shooting just 29%. I’ll take it!

 

[Volfan2012]

29 percent lucky to be just five down.

 

[1985Vols]

Our two freshmen are far and away our best players

...absolutely. Idiot was on facebook in tiggah gear.

College BBall turning into street ball, refs are buying that culture NCAA letting it happen.
