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

[Namorto1]

We should be feeding the paint or driving the ball every possession. Kick out for open shots. FAU is going to hit 3’s.

 

[VolinMichigan]

Olivier has disappeared tonight just like we feared after that big performance.

That’s his MO

 

[vols 30]

This game is torture to watch!

Especially after watching the previous game. It's like watching an NBA game then watching a middle school game

 

[hUTch2002]

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!

We’re not making their D move enough. Mashack is the only one that seems to be able to create and finish.

 

[orangejuice]

Rebounding to me has been the #1 thing keeping them in this thing and we contingent to have poor effort rebinding. We watch the ball and they go get it

 

[NOLACHUCKEYTOM]

Would love to see JJJ just drive in and slam the darn ball on somebody!

 

[barney]

defense not allowed in this tournament smh

 

[Vol737]

Use the freaking backboard! Geez if I see one more weak effort, wuss shot doink off the front of the rim…..

 

[BigOrangeFanatic]

ON still scoreless....hey, he's got 3 assists though.

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

JJJ key ON are 4-20...

 

[tnvols72]

looks like a midway through the 1st half score

 

[Putbacks]

SV has struggled with the quickness of a couple of FAU’s guards.

Struggling with their holding and arm barring too

 

[VolsSportsFan]

For those starting to complain about the officials, if we had been taking care of business it wouldn't be an issue. But when you play like crap on offense and rebounding, you leave the door open for reffing to start making an impact.

Our inabilty to do anything on offense is going to kill us.

 

[Other_Guy]

Key has shot what like 30% front he floor this year yet he's out there because...well idk

If he touches it for longer than 2 seconds, he's shooting too.

 

[johnboyhunter]

I don’t understand how ON just disappears. Needs some sort of sports psychology . Visualize doing the same thing you did in the successful games.

 

[vol94]

My nerves are shot

Same here. Idk what to expect. Im afraid FAU will start hitting shots down the stretch like Mizz, Zona, and others while we can’t find a “go to guy” end a scoring drought. FAU is able to dribble penetrate and score inside, too, plus second chance points.

 

[Col_Cathcart]

Looking like 60 will be enough to win this one. Hope we get there first

 

[VolinMichigan]

Mashack needs to drive the ball

 

[FranklinVFL]

Key is still out there.

 

[Volstylexx]

oh so Vols are playing great - making shots - forgot. You always got to pump that orange sunshine.

You damn right. I’ll pump it until the end. What’s doom and gloom get you during the game?

 

[allen phillips]

ballgame it will be because we will not block out.

 

[VolDave53]

Key is trash can juice

Wow, that is a bit graphic! LOL

 

[hUTch2002]

That’s his MO

This seems even worse than usual though. 0 pts and 2 reb.

 

[vols 30]

Stop going to Key!!!!!!!

 

[Creeker]

Key smh
