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

[Hallie]

its a rough game ..they are letting them play ..gotta bust them in nose ..if we dont get physical we wont win ..they are man handling Vescovi too .. he cant shake the defense

 

[mr.checkerboards]

The refs allowing this game to be so physical is keeping it close. They wont have the legs to play at this pace in the second half.

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

I'm sorry Bama lost

Need to finish these last 4 minutes strong. We sometimes don’t handle them well but today it is massively important

 

[vol94]

I am confident Barnes and staff will adjust @ halftime. Vols have proven that this team can win without points from Vescovi. Go Vols!

 

[kell7517]

That wasn’t the purpose of my post. I legitimately didn’t understand why everyone thought this was a great matchup for us.

That I can agree with. Confident Tennessee can win this one. But no blowout by no means. Gonna have to get tougher in the paint as well.

Early observation. I don't know if our league sucks and we our just now realizing it or this Michigan team is just starting to click at the right time,but this team is as good or better than anybody we have played in the SEC.

 

[My VOLS are huge]

Uros couldnt catch the clap from 4 whores that have it

 

[87&91ALUM]

29-30

 

[BreatheUT]

Michigan getting everything they want however they want it. Our size isn’t as good as their size.

It's not but our bigs need to make them foul.

 

[DooleyOrangePants]

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

That’s going to be the key to this game, I’m afraid. Cant play 5 on 8.

 

[volsarelife1]

If I was Michigan I would be concerned being up only by 1 with us just hitting out first 3

 

[aWhiteLoftonChism]

Our big guys are getting killed. They are destroying us inside and getting anything they want

The physical play of the bigs doesn’t bother me as much as how physical they are letting them check our guards… pushing, hand checking etc.

Go away. Some folks nothing can be good enough. SEC champs and KY is out vs a 15 seed. And lot of 1s and 2s has some scares already in the tournament.

I'm sorry Bama lost

Bama is trash af lol. Nice try tho

 

[87&91ALUM]

Uros playing tough.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

Good lord CBS stop with that angle

 

[patrick]

Thought that was in.

 

[johnboyhunter]

We got to find a way to get some 3s.

 

[YankeeVol]

Uros got his lunch money stolen

 

[TrippieRedd]

Bama is trash af lol. Nice try tho

"Birmingham, AL"

It's way too early for that garbage

 

[Teeboy]

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.

Lol…incorrect. He’s been a difference maker all year. Lol. Emotional fans…down 1

 

[87&91ALUM]

Uros great defense!

 

[YankeeVol]

Gotta make the wide open ones
