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

[vol94]

No moral victories in losing but I’m proud how this team played tonight.

Our bigs ride the pine first half and Knecht is having an off night and foul number four. ZZ is playing well and Santi is playing a he$$ of a defensive game and rebounding. Mashack is giving good minutes and Gainey has had moments.

Why doesn't Vescovi shoot the wide open 3?

I think he’s got the yips and it’s in his head.

We’re better with you not posting

I kinda like freedom of opinions. Even the ones I don’t agree with.

 

[Franklin_Vol09]

Same shoulder he drops Dalton got an offensive foul for

Constantly

 

[Sos]

Nelson look= future pedophile.

 

[knoxchief]

Refs calling fouls very differently on either end of the court.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

Please please pull this out

 

[walkenvol]

Kentucky is playing far better now than they were when we played them earlier; it's going to be a struggle if we don't bring our top game.

Just head over to rupp rafters dude - this is the bama game thread. What the ???!

 

[wmcovol]

Vescovi in for Knetch with under five minutes to play?

If you don’t, Bama will attack him and either 1) score at will or 2) foul him out. Saving him for last 2 minutes is the best option.

 

[SonOfGodVolforlife]

If Tennessee wins this. It’s the most impressive win of the season imo. In the road , after playing a top defense… big time

Free world chump

Why doesn't Vescovi shoot the wide open 3?

I'm not complaining on the last one. He got ZZ a wide open look, but generally speaking he needs to shoot it. We really need him to shoot more to get in and stay in a rhythm

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Mark Sears gets the whistle Dalton Knecht should be getting.

 

[Larkin]

Whew, what a game. This team is special to play like this in a hostile environment and foul trouble. Just a tough crew!

Finish strong!!!

 

[SGMVols]

What the heck is gainey doing? Acting like he hasn’t missed 6 threes tonight

Being a good teammate? WTF is he supposed to do?

 

[spyfish007]

I keep DK out til about 2 to go.

I might go a bit longer if we maintain a 3+ lead.

 

[ReadCT]

What a game of back and forth streaks

 

[cwbytruckers]

You want Knecht in now but worried our defense will falter with him at 4 fouls.

He can go off at any moment though. Thats almost worth the risk.

 

[Jimmyandjoes]

Fouls are even at 20

 

[Volstylexx]

This game win or lose is convincing me this team on a neutral floor are going to be tough and can make a final four run.

this guy gets it.

 

[RAVOL]

Alright time to finish this half. Really depends if officials give us touch foul like they just gave Sears. Focus and let's leave in 1st . In CHRIST Alone

70-65 3:18

 

[DC_Vol]

But plenty of free throws!

 

[rocketskates]

I seriously hate to keep talking about refs, if AI could do ANYTHING I wish it could fix this

Way too subjective. I really believe most of them do the best job that they can, but the last several years it’s been pretty pitiful for guys who are tasked to ref major games.
