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

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

We will come out with adjustments and calm down. I truly believe that. We got this. Vols by 15!

 

[Shakinthefat]

Uros playing well right now

So so, he is pressuring himself to shot a short shot vs going to the basket

 

[Voldog1998]

The odds are better Lilly would take you back before Candace unless you are female.

Indeed

 

[berryvol]

Gotta love Slay

 

[Volstylexx]

They‘re not ready for what we are about to do to them here in the 2nd half.

 

[supersmo18]

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.

The fact that they’re winning the rebound margin is most concerning to me. As big as we are, that should not be happening.

 

[Voltrapnbama]

Some said FAU looked gassed. I didn’t see it. Or either both teams are gassed. Idk lol

 

[Zues1]

30 more minutes....let's gooooooooooo

 

[Ernest T. Vol]

I'm going with we rope-a-doped them in the first half.

We can’t shoot 31% in the second half

 

[orangejuice]

The entire college basketball world has to be pulling against us because we are honestly pretty rough to watch sometimes, and this is one of those games.

 

[luthervol]

It’s more about how we’ve played than the result. Giving up wide open good looks, and playing atrocious on offense. We’re pretty fortunate they’ve shot as poorly as they have

They're pretty fortunate we have shot as poorly as we have.

 

[Dergibvol]

So what's everyone think? I'm saying they better shoot better because no way FAU shoots that poorly again

 

[Vol737]

Before our game on Saturday, everyone needs to state beforehand what halftime score they would be happy with.
I'm thinking most everyone on here would have gladly accepted a 5 point halftime lead before this game started.

100 - 4

[DD4ME]

Second half Duke we looked a lot looser and we were getting good ball movement and looks. We need some spark.

 

[VolGee4]

Their defense is overwhelming us

Not really…we’ve had at least a half dozen shots 12 feet or in that should have been hit.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Please just find a way to win this game and I promise I won’t say a single negative word on Saturday. Just get us to an Elite 8 and I’ll be a happy, happy Vol and I’ll let the chips fall where they may Saturday. Please don’t lose to FAU….

 

[chuckb1448]

nah she was stunning in her college days. She’s just got pure beauty

To each his own my friend

 

[Zues1]

That should get corrected in the second half. Awaka needs mins

 

[Dergibvol]

They're pretty fortunate we have shot as poorly as we have.

Difference is TN has done this white frequently since Jan

Yes this

Love the energy

 

[Voldog1998]

My BP is up I gotta be up at 430am for work ahhhh the life of a Vol fan and I wouldn’t trade it for being a fan of any other team.

 

[Allvols98]

Play the hot hand. Use the size.

Put on steam and pound the rock.
