The Official #17 Tennessee vs. #20 Illinois Game Thread, 12:00 PM ET, CBS

[Vols till I fall]

He was 3-13 from the field against Purdue. LOL

Clearly you don't remember the last few minutes

 

[LordVOLdemort]

Sounds like the boomers in the crowd are waking up from their nap

Exactly, didn’t even feel like a home game for most of the first half. Crowd has a job, too

Don't think you've watched Gainey play

 

[JoeMiltonsAgent]

Vescovi with 7 points 7 rebounds and got hit with his 3rd foul with 16 min to go.

This tracks. Never seen a team with a worse home court advatange.

 

[Frozevol]

Ugh

 

[DooleyOrangePants]

Finally a rebounding foul call on Illinois

That’s been one of the worst aspects of this game today. They have been pushing, wrapping up, and hacking on rebounds all game.

 

[Zues1]

Just feed Knecht. Period

Thank goodness he's on this team, without him I'm not sure where this team would be.

 

[JRVOL11]

they just need to space and play through knecht the rest of the game tbh

 

[Stoerner Fumbles]

We need to tighten the rotation and let them develop some chemistry.

 

[TJVol95]

Who is the shooting coach? Terrible!!

Our fans have never known how to do basketball. It doesn’t make sense considering how great we are in football.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Hopefully we start playing better spacing on offense, if you got an iso guy you need to pull help defense away by MOVING and try to stay in a clear path for kick outs.

You can tell our guys aren’t used to playing that way because Rick has always ran motion.

 

[DocVol]

Just be glad you’re not in Middle TN trying to watch the game. Local CBS no longer showing the game due to severe weather.

 

[TheBigOne10]

Illinois is a much better team than I thought. Much more athletic/quicker.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Keep attacking the basket Dalton.

 

[87&91ALUM]

Tornado alerts on CBS weather in Nashville so no game.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Illinois is a much better team than I thought. Much more athletic/quicker.

They’re very, very good. Losing to them isn’t unacceptable by any means but starting off 5-4 with this much talent would suuuuuuuuuck.

 

[volsarelife1]

Give the ball to Knecht every possession

 

[TheBigOne10]

Stupid foul by Tobe

Where we normally sit, we’ve been finding tickets elsewhere. It’s that bad. Social hour or sit on your hands all game. And heaven forbid you get loud or stand.

Just not worth it. Been trading, selling, and finding other good spots to enjoy the game as it should be.

If you can stream, hop on the Paramount+ app. I’m sure there’s a free trial and there should be no weather disruption.

 

[Voljayton]

Wow! ZZ!

 

[hUTch2002]

What a bunch of crap. They’re calling ridiculous ticky tack calls in us and almost nothing on Illinois.

 

[volsarelife1]

There is the emotion and energy!

 

[berryvol]

LETS GOOOOOOOOOO
