The Official #5 Tennessee vs. Vanderbilt Game Thread, 7:00 PM ET, ESPN

[YankeeVol]

No foul. Ball don’t lie

 

[sccshortstop]

Valentine is the worst excuse for a basketball official in history.

Don't forget no can see Pat Adams!

They've won 8 games by 6 points or less. It's crazy how much their record could vary. Not saying they are lucky or overrated, but it's not like they've run teams over the way UT has over the season.Offensively strong, but defensively not great. That being said, Waters is fantastic, and a solid 8 man rotation. I think they are going to be dangerous in March. But not a 2 seed like I heard some suggest.

Yeah, you’re right and I agree with you. I think it’s just one of those bad matchups for us when it comes to LSU. They remind me of last years Alabama team, to a degree, in that we struggled against them while they were a bubble team most the year. That team wasn’t on the same level as this years LSU squad, which concerns me a bit. 2 may be high for LSU but if they beat us and win the SEC it could happen. Probably more like a 3-4.

 

[FlVols]

Come on Alexander get in there and get TOUGH. Be a MAN

 

[VolsSportsFan]

Alexander has regressed.

 

[tnvols72]

I wouldnt mind to see Alexander just go to the end of the bench. He did not even try to get that rebound

 

[CAVPUT]

We aren't playing bad per se. Just looks like a tired team to me.

Absolutely.

I'd hate to be a 1 and end up facing a 4 or 5 seeded LSU that quick in the tourney.

 

[alaVOL]

Hope they play Pons and Fulk more in second half. Give the starters some rest if possible.

 

[W.TN.Orange Blood]

I expect this Vols Team to come out on fire in the 3rd & 4th Qtr.
Blow that Vandy team back to Nashville with their tails between their legs.

What sport you watching?

Imagine drawing auburn as a 9 and then following them up with a 4 LSU

 

[hatingbamaisawayoflife]

Unreal. Chance to close them out. Let them catch up more. Awful. Still poor shooting

 

[JohnD13]

Another crappy last minute of the half. They just tell to give a crap

 

[sccshortstop]

We are flatter than a witches tit!

 

[VolsSportsFan]

Story of the year; had our foot on their throats and took it off again.

 

[VOLinAL]

Up 14 looking good. In a minute give up 5 points. Can we not carry a lead for once the way we should.

 

[tnvols72]

I dont think Barnes is too giddy over Bones taking that stupid 3

 

[hatingbamaisawayoflife]

Lol. Tennessee was -10.5 first half

Lololol...life outside of the FF is rough

 

[vols 30]

I don't think Kyle will every make a penny in the NBA!

Sadly, you're probably right.

 

[FlVols]

Up by 9 at the half and should be up 23 or more. We need to come out on fire guys. GBO!!

 

[W.TN.Orange Blood]

TN Vols are 22-1 when leading at halftime. We've got a 9 point lead.

 

[ATC_VOL]

Decent end to the half other than the last minute.

 

[JohnD13]

Alexander has regressed.

I really think he's afraid to anything fearing a foul
