The Official #5 Tennessee @ Georgia Game Thread, 12:00 PM ET, ESPN2

[BradstarVols]

No. The 3 is too important to our offense. We aren’t built to bully people

Don't tell Aidoo or Awaka that. They do well when given opportunities.

 

[Caz]

Hopefully next half Georgia doesn't get 11 more free throws than us...complete BS!!

Bet they do.

 

[Kicker82]

James is 0-6 and killing this team once again…I’d consider benching him

 

[vol94]

We still didn't get into the bonus... What home cooking this is

Disagree. TN does a lot of hand checking and commits stupid fouls.

Many of our interior shots were uncontested so….

 

[volsarelife1]

Lmao...lay off ZZ...hell he and Dalton are the only 2 players that have shown up the last 2 games

He had 6 turnovers in the first half. It's ok to criticize his play even tho he's played good in the past

 

[amaralfan1]

They actually drive the ball which invites fouls

UGA is a 3pt shooting team, so you are incorrect. Tennessee has done a much better job driving the ball... It's not being called both ways.

 

[vavolfan6]

Sorry to say, but we went bad once we put Dilone and Gainey lineup on the court...not a good duo..

 

[berryvol]

At this point, any Barnes team just isn’t going to get favorable officiating man.

DK just got bodied and no call.

Yeah Abdur-Rahim just shoved him in the back with no call. That’s happened 2-3 times now where they’ve shoved someone in the back going for a board (very dangerous fwiw) and there’s been no whistle. Insane.

 

[joevols89]

It is if it's a fairly called game. Once again, it's not.

No, just don’t commit dumb turnovers and it’s still close to 20.

 

[amaralfan1]

Disagree. TN does a lot of hand checking and commits stupid fouls.

Many of our interior shots were uncontested so….

Every team does this (including UGA). It's only being called one way.

 

[SGMVols]

Sorry to say, but we went bad once we put Dilone and Gainey lineup on the court...not a good duo..

Didn’t have a choice because of Santi and Shack foul trouble.

 

[Volfan2012]

Just seems to me we could dominate this team inside, but were not doing much as we could. Their 12 points to our 4 at the free throw line and our 11 turnovers have kept them in the game.

 

[hUTch2002]

Disagree. TN does a lot of hand checking and commits stupid fouls.

Many of our interior shots were uncontested so….

Turnovers are a far bigger issue.

best halftime adjustment Barnes can make -- this guy is like Milton in FB - thinks he is NBA and he isnt even close

 

[TheMookieMonster]

I was hoping after we got up 14 that maybe, just maybe, we would have a nice cruise control win today that I wouldn’t have to sweat but clearly this thing is going down to the wire again.

Disappointed in how careless we’ve been with the basketball. And our defense has really not been great these last few halves of basketball as well.

 

[VolsAgainstTheWorld15]

After an encouraging start, that ended up being a pretty mediocre first half. Should be running Georgia out of the gym, but self inflicted turnovers and defensive breakdowns have allowed a very average Georgia team to go into the half with momentum. Gotta come out of the locker room sharp to put Georgia to bed early in the half.

 

[Lefteye]

Turnovers are a far bigger issue.

 

[callingallvols]

What is going on with the officiating. I know it’s been bad all season, but this is ridiculous!! We should be up by 15 if the officials call fouls equally. It’s the only reason Georgia is in this game.

 

[BradstarVols]

UGA is a 3pt shooting team, so you are incorrect. Tennessee has done a much better job driving the ball... It's not being called both ways.

Maybe traditionally this year Georgia has been a three-point shooting team, but from today's action, they are being more aggressive than Tennessee. Tennessee is even more of a three-point shooting team today than GA, but Tennessee always seems to be that even though they aren't a great three-point shooting team.

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

JJJ is hurting us today

 

[Lukusw]

Sloppy TOs. Aidoo having a terrible game. On plus side, Knecht being aggressive 2 games in a row is encouraging and Dilione has played even. A big part of the end of half 9-0 run by GA is Barnes' "no one with 2 fouls plays in the first half" policy.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Awaka & Aidoo playing solid. Need JJJ to get it going.

Santi & Shack will be fired up in 2nd half, just need to play smart and try to not pickup fouls too quickly.

We can control turnovers though, most were just rushing mistakes. We gotta stay under control.

 

[KTrain]

Vol Nation calling for, to get so & so out of there all thru the thread, it looks like nobody be left except Estrella & JP & walk-ons. 

 

[Kicker82]

James is now 1-14 the last two games yikes

 

[GUNTERSVOL]

Every team does this (including UGA and twice we had a defender with two feet planted and totally in our cylinder and their driver put his shoulder into our chest and got the block call.
