The Official #18 Tennessee @ #21 LSU Game Thread, 6:00 PM ET, ESPN2

[Mr French]

TN needs Powell to step up and start making up 3s

He'd have to actually shoot the ball for that to happen.

 

[Vol49er]

Pinson was not very good at Mizzou. Glad to see him starting for LSU.

He was good when he put 27 on us last year

 

[Doctrippin]

This was supposed to be the best 3 shooting team Barnes has ever had. Hmmmm

 

[therealitytheory]

Replay showed a LSU hook n hold. Naturally they shot 2 FTs.
Un efing believable.

 

[DooleyOrangePants]

Fulk looks gassed already and isn't playing well. Please, lord, do not let his season be derailed by catching COVID for a second straight year. We're going to need big minutes from BHH tonight.

So far, BHH looks active and engaged. Hopefully that is a sign of good things to come.

No basketball team is ever defined by a single game in January. Stop treating this like football. This is not a sport where every regular season game is life or death.

We will learn alot about the Vols in this game. This game is gonna be a tough one.
I never said it would 'define' the Vols, or that it was 'life or death'.

Barnes is always riding Chandlers azz

He rides everyone’s azz. Early in the season. Pat was a tough coach too.

 

[The Dog]

Vols are 1-1 on 2 pointers, 2-9 from 3

 

[volboogie]

Remember what the refs did to Grant, Admiral, and the boys in Baton Rouge.

 

[I4Vols]

Barnes is always riding Chandlers azz

Shoud be riding Adams
SEC must be proud of this crap

 

[TrapVol]

Foul was clearly on LSU and Plav couldn't use his left arm

Even the announcers said it looked like a hook and hold. Should never have been a foul on Plavšić, much less a flagrant.

 

[Caz]

He'd have to actually shoot the ball for that to happen.

He’s not squaring up and goes up off balance

 

[utkCREW]

He'd have to actually shoot the ball for that to happen.

That’d require our offensive set to get him open…. That last shot wasn’t it.

 

[patrick]

Wonder why the game is so sloppy? Not even the ten minute mark and the game is almost unwatchable. That kickball was icing on the cake of that whole sequence.

You haven’t been watching much college basketball this year have you???

 

[Clad in Big Orange]

We just don't resemble a team that's good at offense.

 

[chuckb1448]

Refs are already BS!!!

Yup, usually they wait a bit before they go crazy

 

[cobbwebb0710]

Wonder why the game is so sloppy? Not even the ten minute mark and the game is almost unwatchable. That kickball was icing on the cake of that whole sequence.

Because Will Wade is scum and coaches his team to make the game scrappy. Because he knows the refs are garbage too and won’t call everything.
Watch the little things that ALL of them are doing, it’s coached. They hook on 90% of rebounds.
GBO!!

 

[vavolfan6]

I really don't see why LSU is considered a really good defensive team. I feel we are at fault for not having scored more on them, not LSU defense

 

[mr.checkerboards]

It was a late whistle, wasn’t it?
GBO!!

Very. Gotta call that on the contact or let it go. Its so bad when refs wait to see if they make it to call a foul or not. They do that at every level.

 

[DooleyOrangePants]

Remember what the refs did to Grant, Admiral, and the boys in Baton Rouge.

Hard to forget that one.

Anyone that didn’t expect more of the same this game, hasn’t been paying attention. We have to play an almost perfect game against Will Wade and the officials.

 

[walkenvol]

He'd have to actually shoot the ball for that to happen.

Was float sideways on the last 3

 

[camp_steveo]

Yeah but We have a pretty large sample size of who they are. Great defenders, average offense with regular cold snaps

I understand that, but IMO we are getting to a point where the team needs to show some signs of what they are gonna be going down the stretch.

 

[GBO18]

He was good when he put 27 on us last year

Oh cool. Which game?

 

[SGMVols]

We just don't resemble a team that's good at offense.

This is a game between the two best defenses in the country

 

[Cartervol]

Just no inside presence. When the 3 isnt falling this team doesn't have many options. Chandler should just try to drive to the basket more. Create something..
