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

[tnvols72]

Tn has to control these fist 5 minutes. Did not play great but good enough to take a 5 point lead.Says a lot about TN D

[VolPack22]

We are in Big 10 country with a 5 point lead. Play the 2nd half the same way and we get a nice double digit win.

 

[hUTch2002]

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!

Relish it. We could be UK.

dont count the chicks yet we all know the life of the Vols

 

[YankeeVol]

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.

That’s what it’s going to come down to

 

[i2amavol]

I hope you all are right. Seemed like a pretty close game. We better be on our game in the second half. Don't want to be down to the last minute.

what do I do if I already started counting? Put the chicks back?

 

[TooLegit2Quit]

Take being up 5 all day after that half. Chandler and James are warriors right now. Credit to Plavsic for bouncing back. We are going to need one of Fulkerson/BHH/Aidoo to step up in the second half.

 

[BreatheUT]

Off topic but Kenny Smith's suit and tie are top notch! Some variation of green.

Sucks

 

[87&91ALUM]

We are winning the stat battle. They got us in scoring percentage. We have 6 to their 5 fouls. James leading scoring. Uros with 5 and tough defense. Chandler has 9. Zeigler and Aidoo with four each. Vescovi with one three. Fulkerson 2 points. Uros 7 rebounds!

lol

Surprised Barkley picked Michigan w the upset. Course he makes a living w NBA .

 

[walkenvol]

He has battled back after a terrible start. I was afraid this was just gonna be one of those games he really struggles in.

I thought he played tough from the tip off banging with Dickinson. Without Plav we lose this game

 

[TrapVol]

Plvsiç with 7 boards is huge. He’s doing his job.

 

[mackievol]

If you didn't expect a dog fight, obviously haven't watched Michigan this year.

 

[volfanhill]

Ok ok ok. Vols took their best shot and are ahead by 3. And, we didn’t play our best.

Let’s go Vols.

Ahead by 5

Buzz killer

 

[TrapVol]

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

This. Make them pay for their selling out on Vescovi.

 

[BreatheUT]

You really can't listen to these analysts. Now Barkley had Michigan winning in his bracket.

Personally I think we took Michigan's best punch. We will play even harder in the 2nd half.

 

[johnboyhunter]

Like we ahead on rebounds. They have 9 turnovers. We need to find some 3 opportunities 2nd half. Keep up the pressure and keep forcing turnovers.

 

[DeepSpringsVol]

I think we have played like crap and still found a way to be up a nickel. Ill take it.

 

[DEFENDTHISHOUSE]

I’m just enjoying watching Chandler. The kid is a monster.

 

[DooleyOrangePants]

I’ve heard more Michigan storylines this half than I did Kentucky storylines during the SEC tourney and that’s saying something.
