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

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.

Yeah I don’t see it with Auburn either, but this is the game thread for Tennessee vs Texas so let’s stick with our team
 
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.

Texas entire defensive strategy is to shut Vescovi down. They are playing him tight and doubling him up whenever he has any space developing.

Going to have to see JJJ, Powell, or one of the Freshman guards fill that void. I would say go to the post, but we’ve got nothing there.
 
No it wasn’t. Shooter jump in to him. That is not a foul.

You do realize that Tennessee’s record under Barnes is better than Texas’ record since Barnes left.
This argument is irrelevant at this point, the foul was called and ON was stupid enough to allow it to have been called which is just as bad. All the kids can do is get their head out of their rectums offensively and settle down.

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.

I don’t know what the plan is. I’m not saying I blame Barnes’ for Vescovi not getting his shots, Texas is locked in on preventing that. I just don’t know where the offense will come from if we can’t find a way to get him a few shots.
 
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.

I just rewatched the replay, and you're completely FOS. The Texas player CLEARLY leans into him.
