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

[therealitytheory]

Our bigs rarely handle a wrap-around pass. OAN in particular doesn't recognize dimes.

We kinda suck in the post.

 

[wmcovol]

Viscovi disappeared ....

It’s called “they’re putting the defense on him”. Texas has zero respect for Vol inside game …. And deservedly so. It’s terrible

 

[TheMookieMonster]

3 points in 8 minutes is just unacceptable. Texas isn’t even doing anything that impressive. We just suck tonight.

Whatever. Wipe it from your memory and win the next 4 in SEC play.

 

[VFL1993]

Ever since 2018 this team is like watching Pruitt’s teams. There is just not much enjoyment win or lose because our offense is so lethargic.

 

[JRVOL11]

Two in bound scores lmaoo wtf

 

[fall2hb86]

They need to quite saying everyone we play have great defense, we don't have an offensive philosophy period

 

[Mr French]

Signing pure shooters does nothing if they cant get open

One of our shooters has been given ptsd from Barnes and triple J can't stop proving he was screwed over being given a 5* ranking.

 

[Vol737]

Texas dropping dimes at will. We can’t hit threes, layups, put backs or free throws. Disgusting. Gotta be shooting less than 30%. We’re getting ready to see a blow out.

 

[Bigorange123]

Barnes must of told them to simmer the attitude, and keep it classy…It is what it is this game.

 

[fall2hb86]

They need to quite saying everyone we play have great defense, we don't have an offensive philosophy period

quit

 

[PC Jr.]

3 points in second half???

 

[SGMVols]

Recruit kids who can put the ball in the basket. This is really getting old. I've seen better shooters on middle school teams.

You can’t always tell who can do that in college. Most everyone we recruit averages at least 15-20 in high school. That’s the case at most D-1 programs.

 

[Delmar]

I’m going to watch the Grizzlies for awhile. They have 87 points through 3 quarters. Maybe the Vols will wake up if I don’t watch.

 

[sechamp2012]

Yeah... Tennessee is playing abysmally through the first four minutes of the half, but this Texas team is Top 15 in KenPom. To date, Tennessee still hasn't lost to a team outside of KenPom's Top 20. The offense is putrid, but defense will keep them in almost every game.

yeah Texas D is great , they had a basic sellout tonight tough venue Barnes welcome back and SEC/B12 challenge

 

[Switch 625]

ON really can’t catch a basketball

 

[hUTch2002]

Buzz had post players though

Yeah but I remember there was one year we literally couldn’t get a shot inside the free throw line. We had no idea what to do.

 

[Ernest T. Vol]

1 for 14 this half

 

[ColinS]

What’s just as crazy is you have no feeling that it’s even possible.

Yeah, I was trying to say something positive for the sake of saying something positive. I know we ain't got no hot streak in us.

 

[amavol2]

Tennessee has to have good post players!

 

[GBO18]

Heard that smack on the tv. No call haha

 

[vols1071]

If NO would improve his catching the pass game he would be an NBA player.... He cant catch a pass within 10 ft....

 

[hUTch2002]

So we change our D but not our O. Makes sense.

 

[casetopia]

Leave it to tn to stink it up primetime on espn.

It's very concerning that we're almost in February and we're still having "wipe this from your memory" games.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Just start chucking threes. Why not.
