The Official #2 Tennessee @ Florida Game Thread, 7:00 PM ET, ESPN2

[patrick]

This team would get their eyes beat shut by the Grant and Admiral team.

 

[Putbacks]

CC taking steps….so you think you can dance?

 

[TooLegit2Quit]

It's a road game in the SEC where the home team is getting the whistle. There is still plenty of time left and this Florida team is too deficient offensively to capitalize. Tennessee just needs to hit some shots. JJJ, Key, Vescovi need to step up.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

Ballgame. I shouldn't overreact to one game as we've all learned. This game is just disheartening because it feels like the warning signs about this team are screaming at me yet again about trusting this team. Oh well. Bounce back.

It's not over but we have to be pretty flawless the rest of the game. I'm just really pissed we battle back and took control then immediately pissed it away. Just really awful performance.

 

[Volstylexx]

Most action these Florida bench players have seen in their lives.

 

[Hurley Mooncalf]

So frustrating to be down to such a mediocre team. Good grief.

 

[Caz]

You want to read my statement again? I said we have games like this every single year when it counts most. I didn’t say todays game counts most I’m saying games like this happen multiple times a year and it always costs us, specifically in the NCAA tournament.

Great point…but like we do well in pat season anyway?

 

[Switch 625]

It kills me how every time we get a 1 or 2 ranking, we play like we don't belong there.

Every. Single. Time.

 

[The Tall Gguy]

This is one of the most frustrating Vol teams I have ever seen.

 

[DooleyOrangePants]

Not out of it, but if they can claw back I feel much better about this team going into the tourney (both of them). If they don’t, well, seems like same old, same old.

Elite teams find ways to compete and overcome an off night.

 

[Berry4Heisman14]

I’m not blaming refs so don’t take this the wrong way.

But after the Vescovi free throws, it felt like the refs decided to take 3 consecutive makeup calls and totally sucked the energy out of us

They absolutely did that call on Aidoo was horrible

 

[VolunteerCeltic]

Team has no energy, and refs successfully stopped their run when they had a 6 point lead

 

[vols 30]

JJJ with 2 points. SMH

I’ve seen us play at home where the road team gets the whistle.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

We look gassed. Slow on defense, shots coming up short.

Ive thought that as well, Key is a great example, everything he shoots is off the front of the rim. I know its not Barnes MO, but I think it would do wanders if he gave this team a few days off at some point.

 

[Go47]

Simply stated - this team is great on defense and usually rebounds very well. But the offense is inconsistent. If that doesn’t change . . . They won’t go far.

 

[kiddiedoc]

These last 3 minutes will tell us a lot about this team.

 

[Berry4Heisman14]

This is one of the most frustrating Vol teams I have ever seen.

Nothing will ever be more frustrating than the team that lost to Loyola

 

[bigdaddy]

So frustrating to be down to such a mediocre team. Good grief.

Ask Bama and see what they did to follow up

 

[BreatheUT]

Their both proving the coaches right for limiting their minutes.

Outsize Florida by a lot yet you can't tell with these two guys. Both are stiffs.

 

[vavolfan6]

16 offensive rebounds yet we aren't doing much with the extra opportunity

 

[The Tall Gguy]

They absolutely did that call on Aidoo was horrible

When you get beat as bad as Aidoo did, you deserve the foul.

 

[joevols89]

Just can't trust a team that does something like this so frequently.

 

[patrick]

JJJ with 2 points. SMH

Wallpaper tonight. Wallpaper everywhere.

Someone else pointed out that in the short time after we went up by 4 or 5 points we suddenly skyrocketed from 5 to 9 fouls. Go figure.
