The Official #5 Tennessee vs. #6 Alabama Game Thread, 4:00 PM ET, ESPN

[walkenvol]

Arg -2 missed lobs

 

[vol94]

Embarrassing hops.

Lower left injury plus ankle.

 

[NOLAPhil]

Guys, if you haven't heard, apparently alabama is the greatest team since Duke. According to the announcers.

 

[The Tall Gguy]

No foul on the lobs to okpara some how . Guess the refs ran out of fouls.

 

[VolinMichigan]

Arg -2 missed lobs

They were fairly well defended.

Arg -2 missed lobs

2nd one was more difficult, but still should’ve been thrown down.

 

[Voltopia]

“Go beast.” You mean take your elbow and jam it into your defender to displace them? Repeatedly? That’s the brilliant strategy that impresses you, Jimmy?

 

[FlVols]

My heart can’t take this today. Wish we’d get up on them and cram it down their throats before half. We are a better second half team

 

[johnboyhunter]

This lowering your shoulder and just pushing a defensive player out of the way does not really seem right. How can anyone defend against that? Offensive player is initiating a lot of contact .

 

[walkenvol]

Don’t know how I feel about ZZ being in the game right now. We’ve been holding our own so far.

Wouldn’t leave him in the rest of the half if possible

 

[chuckb1448]

Alabama is playing Dirty and We All Know it!! Kick their Booty Tennessee

Head down, tuck ball into chest like a running back and bowl over the defender. It’s genius!!!

 

[amaralfan1]

It's easy to miss Ops when you are hammered at the basket. Given how the game has been called, it's crazy the refs have swallowed their whistles both times.

 

[GiveHim6InSC]

Why are they calling it so tight

They’re working a betting angle

 

[Freak]

As many touch fouls as are being called, not sure why they allow the offensive player to bull over the defender inside. Also hard to believe there's no contact on those Okpara misses.

 

[Chattahooligan]

Idk why yall doggin Felix, both of those lobs were tough to handle, he was in heavy traffic and had to stretch out quite a bit

 

[I4Vols]

Mashack is just so tough

There are some Vol players we are going to remember fondly from these last couple of years

 

[RAVOL]

Felix struggling to finish.

He got fouled can't believe they didn't call that one.

 

[Anti-shunshinepumper]

Wouldn’t leave him in the rest of the half if possible

We need him. Just has to play smart. He's capable

 

[Clad in Big Orange]

They are really good. Not going to get any separation. Hopefully win at the end.

 

[sechamp2012]

I guess Diabate is just allowed to push and bump his way all the way to the basket with no offensive foul called.

1st & 10 good runnning back move

 

[chuckb1448]

As much as people don't like Dubar we sure need him

I like Dubar... he's a bottle of Adrenaline.. Coach has to give him time to settle in

 

[Cdywolfe]

Yeah it’s pretty obvious that one team is being allowed to be exponentially more physical.

 

[vol94]

I’d take ZZ out at the 3 min mark. That’s two TN possessions max for each team.

Jimmy Dykes needs to stop the nonsense commentary injecting football terms into a basketball game - light his ars up on twitter.

Just asinine, stupid, and idiotic!

"1st down offense"

"line of scrimmage"

What are we going to hear next??? running the wishbone - veer - off tackle - cover 2???


so fn stupid
