The Official #3 Tennessee vs. #14 Longwood NCAA Tournament Game Thread, 2:45 PM ET, CBS

[BreatheUT]

They always are.

I posted that in the wrong thread. Just in the last decade mainly. Weak schedule.

This really just makes zero sense. He subbed in fulk for uros. Fulk scored 11 of our first 17. What’s your problem? Then he went to our normal 4 guard lineup with fulk. Cmon….

Yeah I made this statement too early in the game, I stand corrected... my BVS of him last season started kicking in and thought here we go again...

 

[BreatheUT]

Uros has been that way all season and it worries me for next year... someone HAS to get with this kid in the offseason and work with him on maximizing his height, wingspan, and athleticism... he's got the measurables to dominate... but plays like Jane... Aidoo is really going to have to step up next season...

I hope Aidoo improves his mobility/ knees. He has more upside.

The only reason 17-14 Michigan is in this tournament is the B1G bias of the media that influences the selectors.
They lost to UNC a team we beat by 21 and to recently deceased Iowa by 11
Kenny Smith of the ACC shouldn't be such a B1G promoter.

I know who the competition is, but we are making shots... I like how we looked today.

If JJJ and Santi remain dialed in, I like our chances against just about anyone.

That’s a smart A$$ response. Did you say that last yr when we were upset I first round or when UVA lost to a 16 seed. Michigan does have an athletic big man who scored 20 today. How about saying something productive instead of being a keyboard warrior.

You’re already posting negative headlines and you are telling me to be positive? Please get some help for your manic depression & dual personalities.

Yup. They get by every year by playing teams without a pulse.

 

[TrippieRedd]

I mean, I'm kind of worried about Michigan, they have a ton of talent (recruited really well the last couple years, Number 3 last year), just a terrible coach...let's just hope the talent doesn't decide to show up lol

Buttttttt they did just play a tough game against Colorado St.

68-56 Vols

 

[wmcovol]

Powell was no match for the athleticism of Longwood.

Powell must have told somebody someone he’s not coming back. He doesn’t get in until late and plays with zero intensity.

Uros is gonna beat the crap out of their 7 footer all day. Other than that just use our speed.

Would y'all trade Powell for Cam Hayes?

You saying that made me think of this

 

[cwbytruckers]

I think he just hasnt bought in to playing defense the way he should

 

[Mr French]

Yeah I really wish it came down to the wire instead

Didn't say that. Watching the subs kick the ball and turnovers was in fact boring. Doesn't mean I don't want us dominating teams

 

[Mr French]

I like boring like this.

Fair.

I think this is going to be a tough win to get. I suspect they are doing to play better Saturday than they did throughout the season. They hane the pieces to be a really good team.

I hope this is not the case. He's only a sophomore.

 

[DC_Vol]

He’s brought nothing to the team since conference play started. He doesn’t work hard to get open. He was easy to scout and shut down.

This is what I'm thinking. I noticed Barnes didn't mention him in the presser after the championship game and Barnes mentioned everyone else.

 

[VolNRaleighNC]

Rick let the air out. Started walking the ball up court every possession. We’d have scored 110 if he hadn’t. He wasn’t going to run it up.

I know that. Wasn’t asking them to pulverize them but they just got sloppy over the last 10 minutes, including starting rotation. The sloppiness is what’s gonna get this team from reaching its goal.

 

[Golf freak]

Maybe he's not capable.

 

[AllThingsTN]

One of those times when I would be happy to have a busted bracket.

Same. Have them beating us in the the final game. Guess that means we win..?

 

[VolFreakJosh]

They had their bench warmers in with 6 minutes left to go in the game.

There was no reason for them to risk any injuries.

Barnes isn’t stupid.

 

[Stoerner Fumbles]

He’s brought nothing to the team since conference play started. He doesn’t work hard to get open. He was easy to scout and shut down.

I’m sure he’s a great kid. He’s not a great athlete.

 

[VOLINVONORE]

Yes absolutely a typo. B is right beside N. I am very sorry and meant no offense to anyone.

I think 99% of us realized that.
