The Official #24 Tennessee @ Vanderbilt Game Thread, 9:00 PM ET, SEC Network

[BreatheUT]

Is Vandy this cold on defense or are the Voks that awful? This is very concerning.

 

[walkenvol]

Whistle fest rest of the way. Last 2 for Vandy we’re total bs

 

[YankeeVol]

In March, who knows what a stout defense could give. I have never seen such a talented team literally have each game be a toss up based on production lol

Its so frustrating

 

[therealitytheory]

I'm not going to repeat myself and say SEC refs suck.

 

[1985Vols]

Truly awful officiating

It continues to amaze me how the best conference in the country has garbage officials

 

[clarencepeabody]

Somebody pass the mustard!

 

[casetopia]

uros say ball not ever not tell truth.

 

[VOL_Lyfe]

Vol fans in the house are making noise

are they checking their mustard supplies?

 

[tnvols72]

SEC has been exposed for the bad refs in football and basketball and baseball coming up. They are going for the trifecta

 

[TheMookieMonster]

We’ve been getting pressed a lot lately. We have to get better at breaking it.

 

[Rockytoprowdy]

Why are the announcers not court side? Lol

Because they’re at Vandy. Apparently wouldnt allow students to attend the game? Could be worse, a lot of the commentators have been calling games from their home offices again…

 

[gordonr24]

MAAAAAAAYBE they'll start falling and they'll go on a run.

definitely capable. But I’ll believe it when I see it. Good news is that defense will always give them a chance to win ugly.

 

[clarencepeabody]

Mustard will forever be synonymous with bad calls

 

[berryvol]

Why in God's name do we stand there and wait on a freaking trap!

That’s uhhh kinda how you beat a full court trap, unless you can get the ball to the middle. Let them come to you, make a composed pass out, then you have numbers or the option to reset in halfcourt.

 

[ndubvols]

I think a big part of our struggles offensively are that we have 2 freshmen guards leading the show. If they play well, we usually play pretty well offensively. If they don’t we usually look pretty bad.

The key to the season is getting chandler trending up as the season goes on. We look completely different when he’s playing well.

 

[VOL_Lyfe]

27% FT. Yick

 

[87&91ALUM]

Cmon Vols

We’ve been getting pressed a lot lately. We have to get better at breaking it.

How with ZZZ and KC? Nobody should be able to press that lineup

 

[vol94]

Wonder why he won’t just sit for a few weeks to focus on recovery.

Fighting thru it

I usually convince myself that stringing together four consecutive tourney wins isn't outlandish, frankly it's more insane that Tennessee has never done it before, but the only time they've done it this season involved Presbyterian who I'm pretty sure won't be on the menu come March.

Still, I agree with you that this team's defense could easily take them to the second weekend if they don't lose any bad games in the next two months.

This keeps Vandy in it.

 

[GiveHim6InSC]

are they checking their mustard supplies?

Vandy probably only sells mustard packets lol

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Why does Pippen get Lebron treatment? Dude gets so many calls

 

[knoxchief]

are they checking their mustard supplies?

Hope they brought plenty golf balls!

You’re absolutely right. It’s a catch 22. We shot lights out at KY and lost by 30. Defense will keep us in any game we play. March will be interesting- as always, will be based on matchup.
