The Official #17 Tennessee vs. #3 Auburn Game Thread, 4:00 PM ET, ESPN

[GBO18]

What a slop feast for both teams lol. Bad basketball right now.

 

[Voltime123]

Do you even read what you type?

Do you even understand the argument to begin with?

 

[patrick]

That’s why I think we could make a run at an elite 8 or we could get bounced in the 1st round. It all depends on how the game is officiated, with this Tennessee squad.
GBO!!

TN isn’t going to the elite 8. Barnes isn’t good enough in the tourney for that.

 

[Squoshua17]

Fulkerson finds himself on the floor more than anyone I’ve ever seen.

 

[wmcovol]

He saw what you said.

Ok, a 3. But he’s killed them otherwise.

 

[sportsnut624]

We’ve reached the point in the game where we are going to see what we are made of. It’s time for the young boys to turn to men and start driving and creating contact. Officiating has tightened up so go at their guards

 

[Namorto1]

We are going to make a run.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

The worst part of this, Auburn isn't even playing well.

 

[tnvols72]

run set 3s for BHH lol

 

[TheMookieMonster]

We are going to make a run.

I hope so.

 

[VolinDalton]

Not sure I agree.

We were outhustling them and playing good defense but our offense sucked after we went up 19-13. And while yeah the refs have sucked, it's mostly the typical offense disappearing act we've seen several times this year.

With who we have available right now I'd say we're doing well. We've been behind and have had offensive droughts in several games.

Give it time. They need to hit the lane hard for about 8 or so minutes then work the perimeter.

 

[johnfnkelly]

Our bigs are absolutely ****ing useless right now on offense

 

[OrangeBeachVol]

Pearl haters or not he has the better team. Man can recruit and he runs a very efficient offense.

 

[peerless98]

This game should prove to everyone we are not a sweet 16 team much less elite 8

Most of us aren't here for "proof" of anything; we are here as fans of the Vols win or lose.

 

[TooLegit2Quit]

Wake up guards! Already 4 TOs this half. Both teams shooting like crap to start the half. That's the difference.

 

[Kicker82]

Lots of time Barnes needs to go to the vescovi chandler Ziegler james Fulkerson lineup the last 10 minutes.

 

[vol94]

Big thee ball by Hatfield. I still think we need to go with Chandler, ZZ, JJJ, Vescovi and Fulky (rotate) to see if we can go on a quick run. Our guard play has been non existent and too many turnovers.

 

[wmcovol]

BHH just redeemed those two horrible posessions

With 1 3? Lord, he’s given up 8-10 pts on defense & turnovers.

 

[patrick]

no, no, no....YES!

BBH can shoot and shoot well. One of the best parts of his game. But damn you got to play that defense and if you make a mistake as a freshman with Barnes you ride the pine.

 

[cwbytruckers]

Fulkerson finds himself on the floor more than anyone I’ve ever seen.

I bet he makes a funny drunk

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Our posts obviously haven’t played well, but you would figure our guards would have to play a lot better than this if we are going to win. Very little coming from Vescovi/ZZ/Chandler so far.

Most? it is a gamethread....

 

[cobbwebb0710]

one of our 3 guards is about to claw us back in this thing.
GBO!!

 

[mr.checkerboards]

This comeback is about to be insane

 

[patrick]

Pearl haters or not he has the better team. Man can recruit and he runs a very efficient offense.

And he is a better coach.
