The Official #4 Tennessee vs #14 Alabama Game Thread, Saturday 8pm/ESPN

[Sos]

Big??? In tourney .

 

[Switch 625]

What in the world are we even doing?!!!!

 

[Ernest T. Vol]

Still 11:50 left. Time to get going though.

 

[johnboyhunter]

Mashack passed up a wide open 3

 

[Clad in Big Orange]

When our guys play timid offense, it’s UGLY!

 

[RockyTop140]

This one’s over.

It sure as hell isn’t.

 

[OneVolNation]

Time for a good Tennessee run. Go Vols!

 

[KnoxLandcruiser]

SHOOT THE ****InG BALL!!!

 

[VolsSportsFan]

We are rattled.

 

[DooleyOrangePants]

We play scared to drive, do it once and then try to just shoot 3’s that are way off.

Burying ourselves.

 

[theroyz71]

Getting outplayed.

 

[VFL1127]

Rick Barnes needs to light a fire under them. This is pathetic. It's not like the SEC title is on the line or anything. Goodness

 

[ColinS]

Wuss ball by Aidoo all night. Grab that rebound and go up strong

 

[volsarelife1]

Just an awful call on Nelson.

Pat. Adams. Is. Terrible

Couldn't resist lol.

So go buy a jersey. Lol

 

[Zues1]

For a 7 footer aidoo sure is weak, gets bullied out there

50 pounds light

 

[Volbrando]

Glad I didn’t play a drinking game tonight taking a shot every time the announcers talk about how good sears is or I’d be dead

 

[Flipdaddy]

of all nights not to hit nothing. They do it every single time in Tuscaloosa.

 

[Cdywolfe]

I generally hate when people complain about the announcers but it couldn’t be more obvious how bad Bilas is rooting for Alabama.

 

[The Tall Gguy]

Ugly ugly game. Need to just give it to Knecht and get out of the way

 

[GAVol]

Couldn't resist lol.

Lol… well played.

 

[Z06Vol]

No one wants to shoot.

 

[NOLAPhil]

At least gainey goes to the rim, sloppy, but goes. Our bigs wont even jam it.

 

[Delmar]

DK on bench & Gainey may shoot us out of this one.

I said earlier he was killing us and nothing has changed. But nobody else is stepping up either. Badly out of sync.

 

[SGMVols]

Disagree , we ain’t gonna beat anybody playing like that.
If we play this fast break, 3 for 3 kinda game.
We will be by good offenses every time.
We are a defensive team that slows the ball down. Cmon it’s Rick Barnes is mo

It may historically be his MO but it hasn’t been the MO *of this team*

We are 64th in Kenpom tempo. Most Barnes teams are in the 200s.

We did not beat Bama in Knoxville by grinding them on offense. We ran them out of the gym. But part of that is that we made open shots which we have not done tonight.

 

[VolunteerCeltic]

Not sure why Vols aren't attacking rim, Bama in foul trouble as well, good job on Aidoo drawing that last one
