The Official #5 Tennessee vs. Texas A&M Game Thread, 8:00 PM ET, ESPN

[Volnbeers]

Holding out hope that this like the mizzou game where they pushed us around for a half but then we finally got our **** together

 

[VOLinAL]

I’m just going to say it…I think Vescovi is a straight garbage player. He’s so damn unathletic I just hold my breath every time he puts the ball on the floor. And he hast to be wide ass open to be able to get his shot off.

I’d say somewhat of a bad take but he’s not fooling any teams when he drives the paint. Knecht needs to get going or this game will be uncomfortable come the second half.

 

[BigOrangeFanatic]

We're lucky A&M is shooting 27% from 3 right now.

 

[TN1111]

We can not guard a three worth crap. Playing down to competition again as was with Mizzou when we are clearly the better team.

We sag in too much to help on defense that there way too many open looks from the perimeter... and if they pump fake, we're running back out so hard we find ourselves out of position.

 

[Caz]

They’re 5/19 right now.

Still mostly open and if they shoot like they did in TX, we’d be down. Lucky for us they are shooting well

 

[Johnnyreb#VFL]

We’ve shown up. Unfortunately so has aTm

 

[SaltyBro]

Five seed disguised as a 1/2 seed.

Good lord. Stop watching basketball. It ain’t for you brother. Football starts in a few months.

 

[Drewbydoo]

God I hate playing A&M. A style of play that is our kryptonite. Almost feels mental.

That's why Barnes is trying to shake things up with a motion offense and going to his bench because bench guys want min. Don't worry, you'll win this game.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

We don't match up well againt A&M

Which is sad since they’ve not won since the last game with us, with 2 loses by teams we’ve destroyed.

 

[utVolFanInVA]

Rebounds are 17-17 but A&M has 5 OR to our 2 OR. Plus we are shooting 22% from 3-pt land. Recipe to keep the game close or lose.

 

[barney]

I'd say vescovi and jjj are capable they are just inconsistent

I really don't understand why we aren't keeping awake in the game...

 

[TheMookieMonster]

A&M’s gameplan seems to entirely change against us versus other teams. They’ve been just chucking 3’s this game, again. Already at 5 made 3’s when they average 6.5 a game. Happened to us in College Station, too.

 

[ColinS]

This was never not gonna be close. Their style gives us trouble. Just have to tough out a win.

 

[Putbacks]

They called the second one….

 

[tnvols72]

got to make FTs

 

[87&91ALUM]

Finally a foul on Aggies mugging Knecht

 

[87&91ALUM]

Good freaking grief

 

[Volnbeers]

What the hell was that?

 

[chuckb1448]

Aidoo has No hands

 

[TheBigOne10]

SHOOT DK

 

[87&91ALUM]

Aidoo came to play!

 

[FlVols]

We’re not playing good boys

 

[Butch s]

Why would you ever have JJJ and JG on the floor together

 

[theroyz71]

Aidoo has terrible hands.

 

[volsarelife1]

Knecht playing awful for another first half
