The Official #4 Tennessee vs. #9 Florida Atlantic NCAA Tournament Game Thread, 9:00 PM ET, TBS

[vavolfan6]

Team is playing with a little more urgency. May be a little too late. But they can sense it. Either rise up or go home.

 

[Persian Vol]

Why do I feel like FAU could have been called for 3-4 traveling

 

[VolCalls]

Who’s gonna beat Bama ?

Houston

How can a d1 basketball team be so collectively bad at free throws

Because Barnes coaching focus is on defense. Defense defense defense.

 

[johnboyhunter]

If we lose I’m gong to kick some puppies. If we win I’m going to kick some puppies for TN putting me through hell.

 

[Vol737]

Let's be honest, we would too

Beat me to it.

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

Why do I feel like FAU could have been called for 3-4 traveling

They've missed two yes

 

[Shakinthefat]

Wish Mashak had hit those 2 FTs.

Don’t we all. Can’t play with the big boys if you don’t hit FT’s

You should see their shooting the rest of the game lol

 

[TrapVol]

Looked like the FAU guy walked

 

[SlyStone]

Vescovi cant shoot unless he is wide open

Yep, that's been the scouting report on him for several years.

How can a d1 basketball team be so collectively bad at shooting & free throws

fyp

 

[DeepSpringsVol]

Put the clamps on and get this even going in last minute. We cant have them where we have to foul as clearly they are going to make them.

 

[YankeeVol]

Why do I feel like FAU could have been called for 3-4 traveling

At a minimum

 

[Lankykong]

I am tried of ref excuses, most the calls have been good.

What about never calling a flop warning after it was obvious and they reviewed some plays

 

[TheMookieMonster]

I just can’t get over the fact that Rick let FAU go on what I think was a 13-2 run while the arena erupted and didn’t call the TO earlier.

 

[RAVOL]

Is Barnes recruiting some clutch shooters this year?

He has recruited 2 but clutch you do not know until they play at this level. In CHRIST Alone

 

[VolsSportsFan]

50-55…need a miracle finish.

I would normally say only down 5 with about 3:00 left isn't a miracle but how we've played this half it might be.

 

[TennTom]

How does a D1 basketball player miss consecutive clutch free throws? Unreal.

 

[nickc321]

Unfortunately FAU is creeping toward the 60 point mark which doesn't bode well for us. Hope the boys can shake the analytics on this one

 

[patrick]

Why do I feel like FAU could have been called for 3-4 traveling

More like 7-8. Taking extra steps and sliding their pivot foot all night long.

 

[HollowaytoSeivers]

Is Barnes recruiting some clutch shooters this year?

I would settle for consistent shooters in this recruiting class.

 

[VolunteerVandiver]

Seems like they drag their pivot foot a lot

Moving screens and travels just not getting called. Odd referee crew

 

[Volstylexx]

Be who you are Vols. BE WHO YOU ARE. Defense. Lock them down and let’s finish this!

 

[djohnnyg]

How about Vescovi make some 3's. He always folds in these tight games.
