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

How many times ZZ gonna fly by someone

 

[hUTch2002]

See, dude brought his arm down so thus the foul. They called Mashack in the first half when he never reached. I agree it’s not why we’re losing but the officiating is so inconsistent.

 

[TennaciousD957]

JJJ is one of the worst crunch time players to ever wear orange. He is the JG of basketball. Just good enough to play, but when the lights get bright, he goes dark. It was a sad day when he came back.

 

[GBO18]

That’s just lazy defense by ZZ.

 

[TooLegit2Quit]

Georgia 7-11 from 3 this half.

 

[sportsnut624]

Zz has been blown by 10 times today defensively. We need to quit picking up so far out. All Georgia is doing is iso, blow by and shoot the three

 

[VolsAgainstTheWorld15]

Number 1 and that ginger hit everything

Most decent shooters will hit everything when they’re that wide open. Just bad defense.

 

[Switch 625]

Wide open threes. SMDH

 

[DC_Vol]

LOL...bad take...losing on the road inter conference to a team with a 13 free throw advabtage doesn't mean we are losing in the tourney. We roll this UGA team on a nuetral court

As they are playing now, they will not make it far in March. No paint presence, not valuing possessions, bad defense. This will get you bounced opening weekend.

 

[SGMVols]

If Rick Barnes retired at year end we could hire mediocre Mike White and make the tournament most years.

I don‘t think he would want to work for his brother and we have nepotism laws in TN anyway.

 

[Vol49er]

Zakai has been awful today. So many turnovers, and has fallen for every pump fake on defense

 

[GBO18]

Make free throws though.

 

[VolsLFC]

Here comes the late whistles for vols to try and mask the deficiency

 

[508mikey]

the freshmen aren’t ready to be in the rotation more than spot duty.

They will all hit the portal when the season ends

 

[WestTennesseeVol]

That’s at least twice ZZ’s just flew by the shooter unnecessarily

 

[VFL1127]

JJJ, Vescovi, and Gainey are playing terrible ball!

 

[joevols89]

What’s the over/under on how many times we will see the “cASuaLS juST don’T UNDERstANd IT’S hard tO WIn ON tHE RoaD” posted after the game?

 

[VOLinAL]

Georgia almost 50% from 3 today.

 

[bigdaddy]

Georgia almost 50% from 3 today.

That vaunted Barnes defense

 

[TheMookieMonster]

You know you have 0% of winning a game when your best free throw shooter ZZ has missed 3 free throws.

 

[Freak]

Watch and learn

I'll take some of that action.

 

[Caz]

We bitch cause we don’t shoot FT’s. We don’t hit them we we do

 

[AthensVol2007]

Yup...you can tell how many people on here only started watching UT bball whenever Barnes got here

Yeah cause TX in all of their infinite basketball success outside of Barnes didn’t manage to hire the 2 hottest names at the time when they made coaching changes. Shaka didn’t work out there but NOBODY questioned the hire at the time nor did they see the lack of success that ensued. Barnes has stabilized the program and shown you can at minimum be a consistent NCAAT team and we have an administration that is all in and pulling in the same direction.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

We are getting straight up punked.

 

[sportsnut624]

I mean what are we doing defensively today. We looked so slow and lost out there.
