The Official #3 Tennessee vs. #11 Michigan NCAA Tournament Game Thread, 5:50 PM ET, CBS

[TheVolsFrog]

Our bigs are going to have to do better going for the rebound, grab with authority

I’ll give credit to a Michigan assistant before I’ll give Howard credit for anything.

Maybe you’re rt. I said Howard since he is head coach.

 

[Dergibvol]

They probably watched film….you know, coaching and all

As a defense that is horrible id be shocked they fixed it in 24 hours

 

[VolFreakJosh]

Rick Barnes is famous for his early outs in the tournament. Looks like he'll hold true to that once again.

You must be miserable

 

[VolsSportsFan]

Now don’t give the momentum right back.

 

[BreatheUT]

of course michigan is playing out of their minds

And they're only up 1. We're deeper. Time to take the lead coming out of the timeout.

Knock that crap out. It’s not even halftime.

 

[Zues1]

Does Michigan usually play this fast?

Not sure but they were ready to play UTs fast game

 

[VolunteerCeltic]

Vols fighting them, need a few 3s to go down

 

[YankeeVol]

Vescovi is just too slow for this league, he should not be dribbling as much as he does I hold my breath everytime he puts it on the ground.

He needs to camp out and shoot. He’s very predictable when handling the ball

 

[Cartervol]

The game plan is to pound us down low. An get away with fouling and hand checking our guards all day.

 

[txvol19]

Really encouraged to not be running our offense AT ALL, and to only be down 1. I think we’ll be okay.

Is this a drunk post?

 

[K-town Vol Fan]

Need to draw up something backdoor for Santi.

 

[sportsnut624]

I still have no idea what our defensive game plan is. We are completely out of sorts on that side of the ball today

 

[Voltopia]

Big time throwdown. Stupid that the NCAA put Tennessee in this spot, but the Vols got this. Just gotta keep playing their game.

Howard threatened to punch them IMO, JMO

 

[Volstylexx]

They won’t be able to contain our 3 point shooting all game. If we can hit a few in the 2nd half I think we got this. They game planned us to perfection but now Barnes gets to make adjustments.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

I sure miss Olivier right now.

 

[87&91ALUM]

Commercial break. Close game. Michigan very physical. Hope the refs keep the foul calls even.

 

[orangejuice]

Side note. Officials are pre determined to blow the whistle every time Michigan gets the ball down low. We get nothing down low so far

 

[K-town Vol Fan]

Yes, and stop allowing and-1s

 

[VolPack22]

JJJ couldn’t finish because he got fouled very hard

He was slow getting up. If he went up quicker he gets the bucket and the foul.
