Keep pushing P baby

 

[vavolfan6]

Would have been great for JJJ to drop one before the half. Need him and Santi to start splashing em

 

[DocVOLiday]

half ended well! need to keep up the defense and I think we'll be ok

only Zeigler and Mich's Collins have 2 fouls at half. 11 total fouls between the two teams

 

[VolunteerCeltic]

Need to come out at half and play smart and dictate their will on offense. Defense was great in first half for the most part. Uros giving a little something is huge

 

[Zues1]

Michigan’s big is the only player.

He’ll get tired soon

He can hang out there at the key all game if he likes. He won't hit all those shots and we'll take the rebounds.
I suppose though in the second half we'll see him in the paint more.

 

[vol94]

37-32 Vols @ the half. I will TAKE IT! I like how Chandler took over and then able to kick it back out. Gonna need both interior and perimeter game to win this. Hate being this nervous!

 

[VolFreakJosh]

We’re not even playing our best basketball and we have the lead.

I feel pretty good.

 

[chef3531]

They finally got in their heads towards the end of the half

 

[YankeeVol]

Exactly

 

[GhostVol]

How often has TN been a 2nd half team this year?

Right now, I'm kinda sorta confident TN's gonna pull this one off, refs be d***ed.

 

[RAVOL]

Like I said earlier. Chandler will get going to the lane scoring or setting up others because Mich so worried about Vescovi and James shooting leaving gaps into the lane. In CHRIST Alone

 

[GetEmVols]

k

And now we are winning

 

[chef3531]

Chris Weber sitting over there in the corner still looking for that extra time out lol

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Win the first 5 minutes. Michigan will wilt after that.

 

[zaqhhh]

Tennessee has only lost 1 game when they have led by more than one possession beyond halftime (Alabama when we were missing starters with COVID)

 

[tomq_123]

Leading when we played a pretty bad (offensively) first half. Love the sets getting the ball to an open Vescovi, he just needs to get hot. Continue to play solid defense, and we got this.

 

[ENGRVOL]

We absorbed their best shot and up 5. We got this

 

[TrippieRedd]

22-0 when leading at half. See y'all in the sweet 16

 

[Pacer92]

Refs and announcers SO want Michigan to win..

 

[Caculator]

All their eyes have that gassed look

Our 3 ball game started opening up as fatigue was setting in

 

[johnboyhunter]

Good news is the only person with 2 fouls is ZZ.

 

[wmcovol]

Tennessee is playing 4on 4 on offense (Mich has glued a guy to Vescovi) KC should cut that up 2nd half.

 

[vol4eva]

KC needs to take over the 2nd half

 

[VolArmy74]

We are backwards basketball. Our posts are 3-12 from the floor and our guards are 11-22. It shouldn't work that way.

 

[walkenvol]

Mich big guy seem tired.

That dude it the best jump shooting 7’-1” guy I can recall
