The Official #25 Tennessee @ Auburn Game Thread, 12:00 PM ET, ESPN

[gainesvol82]

I don't think most of you realize how much of an impact it has when one team is allowed to be as physical as they want and the other team can't even make a play on the ball for fear if a foul. When one team is consistently allowed to push or go over the back but we never get those calls. We get foul calls on clean blocks or moving around a big when guarding the post. If there is any question on a tip out of bounds it goes against us.

It changes how you approach the game. It causes us to be tentative on both ends and leads to turnovers and giving up offensive boards.. its ******** and I'm tired of seeing it too regularly. Compare how the officiating was before SEC play and during.

The coaches and players are sick of it.

Pearl completely out coaching Barnes. As taking it to the basket and we struggle to Jack a three

 

[LeannaVol]

JJJ one of the biggest busts ever

What? JJJ has hardly played this game due to injuries. When he is healthy we are a lot better.

 

[zjcvols]

Let me clarify, one or 2 may get drafted but they won’t last long both probably headed to g league then off the France or Russia if they want to keep playing basketball

I’ll make a $1,000 bet with you right now Keon Johnson will be on an NBA roster in three years

 

[patrick]

This is pure bulls***. You're either not actually watching the game, you're blind, or you're straight up lying to make the post.

There is no "outcoaching" going on because AU isn't doing anything resembling being coached. We are losing because we suck ass right now.

Seriously, AU is winning on 100% pure athleticism. There is nothing remotely being shown as "coaching". They are not running plays, they are jacking 3 and driving into the paint and hoping someone is there to catch a pass.

yeah Barnes' mid-range jumper offense philosophy is epic..... Pearl coaching his team to shoot the 3 ball or drive for a basket at the rim is coaching... nah Pearl just rolls the ball out on the court, and says go do your thing......

Ill put Pearls' record at TN against Barnes' record any day of the week and twice on Sunday. But Pearl was stupid and lied about a minor infraction....

 

[1985Vols]

Keon and Springer not hittin the 8 ft. Jumper anymore

 

[ndubvols]

Why does ESPN fee the need to constantly have a side box/graphic on screen?

 

[1985Vols]

These refs

 

[chuckb1448]

[Catbone]

These refs

Don't blame the refs

Quit whining! We suck

I don’t care enough to wager $1 much less $1000. If he’s on a NBA roster then that league sucks more than I ever thought

 

[tnvols72]

AU driving every time and nothing Tn can do about it

 

[patrick]

Yeah, I am informed Auburn can’t shoot. That’s why they’re not gonna win. His offense doesn’t work unless you shoot a high percentage and he can’t adjust to his personnel. Not out coaching when you’re teaching your guys to take fadeaways instead of layups. It’s just called winning

Well they shot 27% from the three and were beating TN so there's that.....

 

[chuckb1448]

Wow.... a Pass to the inside

 

[1985Vols]

We’re a 3 man team offensively

 

[zjcvols]

Or maybe you just don’t actually have an idea on scouting for the NBA and what an NBA player looks like.

 

[GBO18]

Can we just go 5 guards? Fulky and Pons have been MIA. Move JJJ to the 5.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Should have kept going too

Yeah, not sure why he quit, but Fulky was open under the basket, just need a better pass from Pons.

 

[peerless98]

Quit whining! We suck

So saying we suck is not whining?

 

[jakeaaal]

Just taking Tennessee to basket every time.

 

[sportsnut624]

Sad part is 4 point deficit feels like 10 with this offense.

 

[VolFreakJosh]

Springer and Keon will be in the NBA whenever they decide to go so you’re wrong.

 

[Lankykong]

We’re getting killed on the boards. Need a real 5 still

Thats not it at all this game. Refs are calling everything on both sides of the floor.
