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

Really all you can say is that he is tall. Other than that he is about useless. I dont think he sees a day in the NBA

Again, he's having a rough stretch. He's been key to this team's success and if we're gonna do anything in the dance, we need him to step up... not sit the bench as you suggest

He's currently projected to be a late first rounder... he's been bad for the last couple weeks but he's still got desirable size/skill

He has the size, but he needs to be more aggressive. Get a little mean streak

Well I hope for the best for him

What happened to back door cuts?

Incorrect. I apologize but we need to fix this defense. We have not been right on the D end in weeks.

Looks like some hangover from KY. Still time but I had hoped for a stronger response after a tough loss against a bad Vandy team.

The answer to all three posts is fatigue. This team has no spring. They're taking rebounds flat footed. Dead legs...gassed. It's not bad play or lack of desire. Team has hit a wall. They need rest and more minutes from the bench. Just hope we can win this one.

No doubt

Push it harder Bone!

TBA is way too quiet.

I wish it could be really loud for our team in TBA

 

[acd4476]

If they play like this the rest of SEC play they'll have 4 more Ls

 

[hatingbamaisawayoflife]

We suck right now

 

[FlVols]

You have got to be kidding me. We are imploding Vols.

No energy on the floor....none in the crowd.

Loud for what. Missed shots. Bad defense. Stupid fouls

You are right but will not be a late first rounder and most likely will not stick with any team for opening day. JMHO as always!

Good Lord

 

[Voltopia]

I have seen worse offensive fouls. Like, a lot of them.

 

[A-RodWiLks]

C'mon guys... wake the hell up!

 

[alaVOL]

L T!

 

[FranklinVFL]

Did we peak too soon? Or did the UK loss take away all their confidence? This is hard to watch.

 

[lilesrt]

We have no inside presence. Kyle Alexander gets it down low and dishes back outside. Come on man.

 

[W.TN.Orange Blood]

LOL >>>>>> We've only scored 2 points since the start of this half.

 

[VOLinPD]

Vandy all over our back.

 

[FlVols]

Come on Fulkerson

Sometimes the tourney is terribly drawn. 2014 I felt terrible for Wichita State. UK as an 8, and UL as a 4 was brutal. I think there were like 5 or 6 top 15 Kenpom teams in that region.

Definitely. I’m sure the WSU fans feel the system was stacked against them in favor of other teams. I don’t like that narrative but the selection process as a whole leaves a lot to be desired. But then again with 68 teamsi t’s hard to make everyone happy I guess. Just seems there has to be a better way.

Ryan acts like someone kicked his dog every time a foul is called
