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

[aWhiteLoftonChism]

Wonder if those who signed off on the season in this thread stayed tuned in to catch the ending?

I hope not Mr. Freak! They shouldn’t get to feel the excitement of the BigOrange pulling out a huge win with a gut check comeback. Way to go boys!

 

[Freak]

Zieglar turned the ball over too many times today but his defense down the stretch was suffocating and game changing. We don't complete that comeback without him.

I wouldn’t mind seeing Barnes open up the competition for Gainey’s minutes. Lets see what Carr or DJ can do.

Carr is not ready for minutes yet and DJ will never be a factor here. Freddie will be the one who gets more time.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Honestly…a team shooting damn 50% from 3 and the fouls being called heavy one way allowed them to have the run to get that lead.

We HAVE to get more from the bench, talent and depth is there they gotta produce.

Gainey, Mashack, Freddie or whoever gets time. Gotta offer some points. Even with Awaka’s 6 we only had 11 from bench, really would like to see us at 20+

Hopefully Gainey gets out of his funk soon.

Rick lives with his turnovers because everything else he does makes him just too important to sit.

ZZ also took several low percentage, quick 3s trying to get UT back from the double digit deficits. He’s played smarter ball than today.

Late on this but curious if anyone caught ZZZ mouthing “SMD” to a Georgia player after stoppage in the 1st half - dude is tough as nails.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

ELITE

 

[Freak]

You could feel the pressure getting to them as we carved away their lead late.

 

[Lukusw]

Knecht scored 36pts while shooting 60%. That's absurd.

I saw that and wondered if I misread his lips. There was a lot of jawing in that game. Glad we came out on the winning side.

I caught that too. lol.

 

[Kas232323]

Don’t value possessions, thinks they are better than they are, this team is going downhill fast and headed to NIT

I googled ‘definition of massive overreaction’ and it led me here…..

 

[Volfan2012]

Knecht 36 points on 20 shot attempts. Ziegler 18 points on 10 shot attempts. Everybody else 31 points on 31 shot attempts. The rest of the team has to do better cause were not getting 36 out of Knecht every night.

 

[Just a VolinTears]

Gainey really doesn't need to be playing. Get Mashack in there, at least he plays D

 

[aWhiteLoftonChism]

From now on... I am tuning in to the final 5 minutes... can't take this up and down stuff; too old. Go Vols!

I don’t know if the last 5 minutes of Vol games will help either?! Lol

 

[Jravol78]

Ballsy win on the road against a much improved UGA

 

[Voljayton]

Is that what he said? LOL I hope it's true. ZZ took it to that guy the rest of the game.

 

[Kas232323]

I’ll buy you dinner at Smokey mountain brewery if the make the NCAA. This team is so undisciplined

Can I get in on this action?

Took me a minute. I was thinking SMD was SMDH. Different head I guess.

 

[PKT_VOL]

Tennessee 73 possessions 85 points. Ga 81 possessions 79 points. Just 4 turnovers in the second half after that 10 in the first. I don't like the fact they beat us on the offensive boards they should never be able to do that not a strong rebounding team. Big win this would've been a horrible loss.

This wouldn't have been a horrible loss.

They were 2-0 in the SEC and had won 10 straight coming into this game. They are easily one of the better teams, surprisingly, in the SEC this year.

 

[Johnnyreb#VFL]

Ended the game on a 21-4 run. Hear from the man of the hour

 

[GoVols9800]

Not top 5 teams back to back. Pay attention

Well………did you say back to back? Thought so.

 

[Volfan2012]

Ga shoots 33 percent overall and 42 percent from the three. So their two percentage was really ugly. When you play them you just have to stop those threes even if they get a few drive and scores on you.
