The Official #18 Tennessee @ Texas Game Thread, 8:00 PM ET, ESPN

This thread is toxic for a 2 point game at the half…

 

[YankeeVol]

ON should have negative after that stupidity to end the half.

He didn’t touch him

 

[Ernest T. Vol]

Need to get Vescovi involved..

He's playing well on d. Needs a good 3 look to get going.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

ON was at his 5 o'clock so unless the shooter has learned to jump backwards while going forward it's a foul.

He jumped sideways dude.

 

[YankeeVol]

The shooter jumped into ON. Not a foul.

Thank you

 

[I4Vols]

Stupid! I get so frustrated with Chandler! Can’t finish at the rim and then we foul on a half court shot.
Should be tied but 27-25 Texas.

I just don’t like this offense as our guards are not consistent with dribble penetration to the rim and fouls shooting atrocious.

Good defense though! We need to figure out how to get Vescovi looks or allow him to go to the basket. Powell needs to take at least 5 shots 2nd half.

Our guards are a couple inches too short, hurts on the reach and let's the taller defender look like he's only raising his arms and not fouling on the drive

I hope KC makes the bucks, but if I was a GM, not spending big bucks for that. Someone will

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Vescovi has 1-point. We really need to get him going.

Kick ON to the curb next season. I don’t care what good things he does do right. He has zero basketball IQ. Unbelievable.

Other teams get good transfers. Barnes needs to do the same if he is serious about going deep in March

 

[chuckiepoo]

Exactly; whether or not that was truly a foul on Nkamhoua, that shot goes in less than 3% of the time. Stay in front of him and, if he sinks it, that’s just a total anomaly.

At that point he gets caught up in drawing the foul and loses focus.

 

[Voltime123]

With as much as this game means to Barnes, Im really disappointed in our ream's focus. Missed 1-1 FTs, missed layup by a mile by JJJ, dumb found from half court, etc..

Look at the ppl responsible for the free throw attempts…I don’t expect Uros to be good from the line all of sudden

 

[Bigorange123]

fyi…NBA rules are not the same as college for three point fouls…

 

[orangejuice]

It feels like this years pieces just don’t mesh. With an elite point guard, offense should not be this hard. I am always one to take the wins no matter what but dang we are hard to watch. Nothing about us says we are a very good team that will go far in the tournament. I hope they make me eat my crow.

 

[Stoerner Fumbles]

The shooter jumped into ON. Not a foul.

That gets called 100% of the time, but only because it was a blatant foul.

 

[RAVOL]

Uros could get more mns if he would make half his Freethrows. 0-4 2 which front end. Down 2 continue to pressure guards make some shots and we will be victorious. In CHRIST Alone

Regular season Rick isn’t even that good in the regular season since Grant and Admiral left.

 

[BreatheUT]

Vescovi has 1-point. We really need to get him going.

They are intent on not letting him get going. They are willing to let others get their shot. Vescovi is doing everything else right now. I don't think he came out the game.

Love Plav but he doesn’t strike me as a gym rat who works on his shot. We may have one on the team who does that - Santi.

That’s the truth. You would think we were losing to Georgia by 20 at home.

 

[jbr82]

Yea I’m sure he coaches his players to foul half court shots. Please troll better.

Coach them not to! Cruit better. Develop better.

 

[OrangeVolMan]

I just rewatched it that was a foul.

No it wasn’t. Shooter jump in to him. That is not a foul.

Texas fans seeing what they’ve been missing….

You do realize that Tennessee’s record under Barnes is better than Texas’ record since Barnes left.

 

[Mr French]

He jumped sideways dude.

He jumped towards the basket hewas shooting towards dude, which is a at most a 15° angle off directly straight. ON was coming up from behind and to the side. It was incidental contact but the ref was in the right to blow the whistle.

 

[VOLnMiami]

Lol we have missed more than half our free throws and fouling people from half court.

All teams make mistakes...Good team's bad team's all of them make mistakes...Now if Tennessee comes out and lights it up then you won't even remember those mistakes will you or are you one of them that lets that stuff burn your soul to its very crisp?..Relax. <iframe src="Gurl GIF - Find & Share on GIPHY" width="480" height="377" frameBorder="0" class="giphy-embed" allowFullScreen></iframe><p><a href="">via GIPHY</a></p>

Vescovi has 1-point. We really need to get him going.

What’s your plan for that? They’re overcommitted on him with a second defender and running him off the three. The middle is open. We have to make them pay for doubling SV or he won’t score 5.

 

[RAVOL]

Love Plav but he doesn’t strike me as a gym rat who works on his shot. We may have one on the team who does that - Santi.

No doubt Santi put in the off season work

45% from the FT is inexcusable, especially considering how quiet Texas crowd is.
