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

[Ernest T. Vol]

he could blow up again. Nothing to say he won't

Nearly all his points against Duke were in the 2nd half.

 

[LibertyVol]

This is not looking good. Tennessee is going to have to find some offense. Somebody has to step up.

 

[rdk4121]

Haven’t they won like 15 straight? Maybe more?

Just 9 is what they said

 

[Voldog1998]

Definitely beats Rebecca Lobo.

Rebecca the horse Lobo.

 

[LadyinOrange]

Are the announcers slamming us? I am listening to Bob and Bert.

 

[LordVOLdemort]

FAU will start hitting 3s just wait

Must be Clemson orange or Texas, Idk, but it ain’t P151

 

[TheBigOne10]

Huh

Lol every body was making a big deal of his hair choice and how he went off against Texas with the corn rows. I don’t care if he goes full bald, just score this half. Please. Zero points on TWO field goal attempts.

 

[djohnnyg]

This is the type of team we lose in the tourney to. Except FAU is 33-3 not 20-16 or something. Whatever happens...happens. Go Vols.

 

[Vtonerider]

ON comes out with a fro for the 2nd half, scores 23.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

Reading through this thread, you’d think Tennessee is playing bad.

You don’t make it to the Sweet Sixteen if you’re a bad team.

Those are 2 different things. A good team can play badly. And I'd argue if we were playing good we'd be up about 15.

 

[LadyinOrange]

Rebecca the horse Lobo.

Diana Tauhorsey is worse.

 

[Clad in Big Orange]

the sense of panic on this board is a bit ridiculous. Was that the best half of basketball? No. But it was certainly Good Enough. Just need to be the better team on the court for one more half.

It’s just BVS. We all know what’s coming.

 

[DD4ME]

I feel like we've looked our best on offense playing inside to Plavsic. We've taken a lot of bad shots.

 

[LordVOLdemort]

Are the announcers slamming us? I am listening to Bob and Bert.

Keep saying we take teams to the mud, making comments about us being extremely physical. Same narrative we’ve heard all week and ignoring the fact that the fouls are even.

 

[TheBigOne10]

The first 8-10 minutes of this half are massively critical.

 

[wmcovol]

More shots for Vescovi, James, ON & Uros. Game plan took ON outta the game. Post up Uros appears to be the plan.

 

[OrangeVolMan]

This team for a reason I can’t figure out has no consistency. No player has back to back good games. You know if a player has a good game he will do very little in the next game. It’s so weird.

 

[Voldog1998]

Diana Tauhorsey is worse.

yea I think she is. I couldn’t stand her when she was at UCONN, ESPN kissed her butt 24/7

 

[vol94]

“No reason we don‘t win this game,“ but yet you just listed 5

We should win this game, I doubt in my mind we are the better team! But we have to play the game and make shots.

FAU is winning in the paint. Not by a huge margin but getting second chance shots and I think outscored us in paint. Yes I’m concerned but still think we win this game.

 

[LadyVolette]

She def a VFL

No question lol

 

[johnboyhunter]

This is not looking good. Tennessee is going to have to find some offense. Somebody has to step up.

Agree. If FAU had not missed so many uncontested 3s we would be losing right now

 

[TheBigOne10]

More shots for Vescovi, James, ON & Uros. Game plan took ON outta the game. Post up Uros appears to be the plan.

Yep, just like UK did. Not our best recipe.

 

[LordVOLdemort]

More shots for Vescovi, James, ON & Uros. Game plan took ON outta the game. Post up Uros appears to be the plan.

I’d feed the giant all night. He’s sticking it to their bigs with simple hip moves.

 

[Tenacjim]

Keep saying we take teams to the mud, making comments about us being extremely physical. Same narrative we’ve heard all week and ignoring the fact that the fouls are even.

Also accurately said we are inconsistent and offensively challenged.

 

[barney]

Can't give up on the 3 either. Vescovi and JJJ were dropping them early.
