The Official #22 Tennessee vs. Butler Game Thread, 7:30 PM ET, ESPN2

[GBO18]

Butler is wore out.

 

[Govolsman98]

Hate me all you want.

This team is better without ORN

It's no wonder we got better after his injury last season

 

[VolunteerCeltic]

Finally some life

 

[sechamp2012]

Told u we’d wear them down patience my fans

 

[VolsSportsFan]

This is the UT I wanted to see tonight.

 

[firestorm]

Just gets worse

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Where has this team been?????

 

[omghulkhands]

There is absolutely no reason Mashack shouldn’t be getting almost 30 min per game. He has been fantastic in the last few games

 

[Vol737]

Well, this is a nice little run we’re on. Vescovi found his power cord and plugged it in.

 

[Orangeblooded615]

I feel like this is right. I like Aidoo but I'm undecided about him. I like him better low than Plavsic though

Aidoo has the same length but with more athletic. He attacks the boards. Doesn't bring much O, but I'd rather have him like a Rodman on the boards.

 

[vols 30]

Butler is wore out.

We broke out the CJH offense

 

[Creeker]

Great run! Vescovi got going. I hope this game gives Phillips some confidence, we need him to be aggressive offensively.

 

[VolGirl81]

Vols finally woke up

 

[The Tall Gguy]

Well well. This looks like Tennessee.

 

[firestorm]

Finish the game Tennessee

 

[mr.checkerboards]

This is the lineup.

 

[sportsnut624]

This team plays better with orn not on the floor. Noticed it almost every game this year and spurred our big run last year when he went out. I don’t dislike the kid but I’m not really sure how to use him with our style.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

It's no wonder we got better after his injury last season

I got a lot of hate last year for saying he sucks. But he's too small and he's soft. He's also selfish. He takes a lot of bad shots and the ball gets stuck in his hands

 

[therealitytheory]

A few people said we were beat early on.

Just sayin...

 

[Willy14]

Hate me all you want.

This team is better without ORN

I disagreed with you last year but I’m on board with you now. I admit I was wrong

 

[Jax_Vol]

The Ohio State / Butler coaching staff is complaining that our cleats are too long

 

[TheMookieMonster]

There is absolutely no reason Mashack shouldn’t be getting almost 30 min per game. He has been fantastic in the last few games

Agreed. I want to see more Maschack, less ORN.

 

[VolArmy74]

Liking the minutes from Aidoo. His defensive positioning is much better than last season.

It really seems like ORN just never really gets any better.

 

[VolGee4]

Butler player literally holding Vescovi off the ball, and the official is right there watching.

 

[sechamp2012]

lol that first half hand wringing by the posters
