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

[DooleyOrangePants]

I must have missed that tonight was Nate Oats biopic night on ESPN.

Him and JJJ never look comfortable shooting 3s. Knecht, ZZ, and Vescovi are who we want shooting them, but they aren't getting the looks rn

He needs to take note those guys aren’t getting it done. Next man up .

 

[utvolpj]

Typical TN basketball. Win a few but lose the ones that matter

If we lost the Auburn Game this one didn't really matter

 

[vol4eva]

Dalton you can show up any time man

 

[chuckb1448]

I changed the subject

 

[knoxchief]

I hate to be a negavol but I think we might put this one in the loss column. Almost no baskets for us and they can't seem to miss.

 

[Allvols98]

I can honestly see something like this happening in the NCAA tournament.

 

[Sos]

Makes all games in tourney. 50/50

 

[D3Athlete]

We are getting beat all around. Absolutely manhandled in the paint .

That’s the shocking part considering bama’s paint defense and rim protection isn’t tn best. Give bama credit, lot more physical then last game. But Tennessee missing open shots is allowing them to do that. Don’t have to help and clog the lane.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

We’ve missed 18 of our last 21 shots. YIKES!

 

[RockyTopRiot]

Barnes needs to change the offensive scheme and we need to stop taking so many threes. We are playing their game and it’s not going to work.

 

[Jravol78]

This just isn’t our game.
I appreciate how hard our guys have played. Shots just aren’t falling.

Thank You, and if they somehow pull off the win it will be all the better . The low basketball iq on display in here sometimes is almost comical.

 

[Clad in Big Orange]

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

He doesn’t have it but I’m not mad about him. This is when the other guys have to step up and produce.

 

[VolunteerVFL]

This one I’m afraid is over, ladies and gents. Long ways to go still I know, but the direction it’s going just isn’t good. Bigs aren’t playing well. Knecht is off. Half the team looks scared to shoot. Just a lot of not good going on right now.

I wonder if someone in every game thread this season that we’ve trailed at any point has said “game over”.

Rivalry game on the road with Pat Adams officiating, of course they were going to make it an Oats lovefest as well.

 

[TennTom]

We gotta make a run now if we're gonna have a shot.

 

[Bryan1]

Just been a cold night shooting, had plenty of open looks!

 

[A-RodWiLks]

Barnes should be telling them every shot should be 8ft and in from here on out geeeez

 

[GUNTERSVOL]

Guessing the plan is to put the starters back in at the under 8.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Only 12 minutes left in this game and DK is still on the bench.

 

[SonOfGodVolforlife]

I can honestly see something like this happening in the NCAA tournament.

Me too, it’ll be a damn shame.
I rlly think Tennessee needs to slow it down, I don’t trust our guards to win us the game.

 

[D3Athlete]

We’ve missed 18 of our last 21 shots. YIKES!

Lucky to be down single digits honestly with these shooting performances

If we lost the Auburn Game this one didn't really matter

It wouldn't matter. SC will probably beat us, too
