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

[BigOrangeFanatic]

Maddening that we have a national championship defense with no offense to go with it.

 

[87&91ALUM]

Not playing one of our better games for sure. Nobody rising to the occasion. Gonna be a close one if we can’t get a run going. Cmon CRB!

 

[Caz]

Stop shooting Key!

What else can he do but that and foul?

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

Get key and mashack out

 

[OC VOL FAN]

Refs are garbage.

How was that a foul!?

Don't know but I'm not mad at it as long as it gets Key off the floor.

 

[DooleyOrangePants]

Did Phillips get NIL money? Are refunds available?

So much potential and where has it gone?

 

[Volstylexx]

We can’t shoot.

We are shooting worse in the second half than the 1st.

Not looking good for the Vols.

Hate to admit but my hope is fading.

Reruns of the Bachelor are on over on channel 13

 

[theroyz71]

We are trying to hang on for dear life.

 

[volfan__18]

Barnes going to choke again

barnes isn’t missing wide open shots. get a grip

 

[Persian Vol]

I just can’t believe how badly we are losing the rebounding battle. Absolutely killing us.

 

[vols 30]

Key is really becoming a liability in this game. He’s getting whistled every time down the floor.

He has been terrible all year.

 

[cwbytruckers]

We can’t shoot.

We are shooting worse in the second half than the 1st.

Not looking good for the Vols.

Hate to admit but my hope is fading.

Same to be honest. Im nervous.

 

[rev_911]

The reason this game is close is because of key. He has got to stop shooting. He has the tools to get open but just can’t hit anything.

 

[Allvols98]

Need that one guy to step up. Tough game

 

[TheMookieMonster]

SEVEN!!!!!!!! 2nd chance points in the 2H. Infuriating.

Getting out hustled and out rebounded by a team you have the size advantage on is infuriating. So many second chance points for FAU.

 

[berryvol]

I’m going to have nightmares tonight about our rebounding. It’s going to haunt me.

May be having them until next November if it doesn’t improve

 

[TheFlash1971]

39-35 with ten minutes left in the game. We’re basically Wisconsin of the big ten. All defense with absolute ZERO offense.

 

[tnvols72]

Tn cant even score back to back. Barnes has to recruit some shooters

 

[orangejuice]

They are holding and hand checking with zero calls and we are getting the touch foul calls

 

[Namorto1]

We are so much better than this team but playing like crap on offense with poor rebounding.

 

[hardyemt_p]

They are so much smaller and they're working us

Ahhh, we're $hitty again

 

[TennVols12]

Key is really becoming a liability in this game. He’s getting whistled every time down the floor and he couldn’t throw it in the ocean.

He didn’t really do anything there. That was purely a “stoppage timeout” foul call

 

[Orangeblooded615]

We should easily win this game, of course we are playing atrocious on Offense.

 

[Delmar]

These cold streaks are going to get us beat. And that last rebound basket by Davis wasn’t a long one. Just plain laziness on our part.

 

[DeepSpringsVol]

Refs are garbage.

How was that a foul!?

I think we all know the answer. All the talk about roughing Duke up and Dusty May saying need to learn Rugby rules has the refs ready to call anything borderline.
