The Official #4 Tennessee vs #16 South Carolina Game Thread, Wednesday 7pm est/ESPN2

[barney]

ESPN just opened their halftime show calling Dalton Knecht's scoring a "fool's gold" situation for Tennessee, and capped the segment by teasing a potential five way tie for the SEC championship.

Sit and suck it, you Bristol goobers.

every week they highlight how the team we are playing last beat us truly wild bias

 

[VolFreakJosh]

Need to get Mack in foul trouble.

He’s been over the back a lot tonight.

 

[walkenvol]

Doesn’t matter. Aidoo has got to stop bringing the dang ball down when moving through the lane. Should never come down when he has 4 inches on Mack

Isn’t Mack playing the 4 and 30 playing Aidoo?

 

[barney]

Greenburg has desperately been trying to prop up Kentucky for weeks. Really bizarre how much he loves this Kentucky team.

he just doesn't want cal to get fired

 

[vol94]

Either ZZ or Vescovi have to be in the game. Backcourt of Gainey & Mashack ain’t gonna work.

True. Both were pressing offensively with Knecht calling for the ball. Then it impacted their defense.

 

[tev.sm]

We are suffocating them defensively, which is what we need to win. We have the more talented team, just got to compete for another 20 mins.

 

[berryvol]

Nice finish. DK with two threes. He forced the last one but ZZ ended the half with a nice bucket.

Knecht is our best player but ZZ is a huge difference maker. He knows where everyone is at all times.

DK is obviously incredible, but ZZ does a great job getting him, and others, in positions for easier buckets. That whole 2 man game resulting in a wide open corner 3 for DK earlier? All ZZ. So glad he has more time here.

 

[therealitytheory]

We're making things really tough for Meechie Johnson.

 

[berryvol]

ZZ on triple double watch at half

 

[vol4eva]

Everything on offense needs to run through Z, DK, and Jonas

 

[VOLINVONORE]

Seth Greenberg anti-Vol as always rn

Agree. Notice he said something about here comes the big blue. I think we beat UK also.

 

[vol94]

I like the fact the refs are allowing them to play as long as it doesn’t get too physical.

The Big XII refs let teams play so the game is more entertaining.

Now let’s see if the game is called differently after the half. Either way, Vols should win this one.

 

[GBO18]

Hopefully the refs call the same way in the 2nd half. Game had good flow in the 1st half.

 

[KnoxtotheBoro20]

Isn’t Mack playing the 4 and 30 playing Aidoo?

normally, but mack was the one with the strip since it was a semi-transition play

 

[Caz]

They will start to double Knecht in the 2nd half....others guys gonna need to step up

Need to have JJJ & Santi bury a couple of threes then and take their heart out.

 

[johnboyhunter]

I hate the idea of sharing a title. Seems so anticlimactic . Let’s roll 2nd half.

 

[Cdywolfe]

As long as we don’t lose the 2nd half by more than 10 we’re SEC champs. Come on guys…

 

[SlyStone]

We are suffocating them defensively, which is what we need to win. We have the more talented team, just got to compete for another 20 mins.

Let's hope the Officiating crew doesn't flip their style of play calling. So many times we see inconsistency in the Refs from one half to the next. Just call it like you started!

 

[vol94]

DK is obviously incredible, but ZZ does a great job getting him, and others, in positions for easier buckets. That whole 2 man game resulting in a wide open corner 3 for DK earlier? All ZZ. So glad he has more time here.

Great look by Z. DK was waiting for the pass.

 

[KnoxtotheBoro20]

I’d really love it if awaka or aidoo would connect on the monster slam opportunities. Huge fan of post dunks in the highlights

 

[lostsheep]

Chances the zebras completely change how they’ve been calling the game in the second half??

 

[Namorto1]

If we can get to 70+ pts we should win. I wouldn't be shocked if they throw that 1-3-1 zone on us. Can't rely on perimeter shooting if they do.

 

[BigNasty]

I actually think that last make by USCe was luck IMO he missed it so much it banked in.

Thought the exact same thing.

 

[ENGRVOL]

These SEC conference championships are so special. Lets recreate the first half and bring it home

 

[WhenUrVolUrVFL]

I like the fact the refs are allowing them to play as long as it doesn’t get too physical.

The Big XII refs let teams play so the game is more entertaining.

Now let’s see if the game is called differently after the half. Either way, Vols should win this one.

If anything it will hamstring South Carolina as they are playing more aggressive. And grabby. They could get in foul trouble quickly if they start blowing the whistle.

Tennessee looks wayyy more talented.
