The Official #5 Tennessee vs. Vanderbilt Game Thread, 9:00 PM ET, SEC Network

[BigOrangeFanatic]

Can't say I'm surprised by this performance after 2 blowout wins.

 

[jeff1vol]

He has one foul

Thats what I thought! WTF Rick?

 

[SouthknoxTN07]

This is what an over confident team looks like .

 

[VolFreakJosh]

Perfect example of where early foul trouble for Santi impacts the game.

That foul on the 3 point shooter was a bad call any way considered he initiated the contact

 

[All Vol!]

I won’t say the name, but this feels too much like that first loss of the season. We better make the right adjustments during the break.

 

[Salvare]

Y'all are overreacting. The defense looked the same as always. Vandy took a lot of terrible shots that just happened to go in. Things will balance out.

 

[VOLINVONORE]

They had better come out with a different attitude in the second half, or they will lose to Vanderbilt? Say it isn’t so! We know anything can happen when SC beats Kentucky at home.

 

[JCP201]

Not much energy from olivier in first half. Plus no Santi for most of it and vandy hitting threes.

Oliver seems off tonight. Sick? Just not himself.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

So far Vandy simply looks more interested in playing this game than we do. They have been very aggressive and physical on defense. They are more active on offense. Our team looks like we’re sleepwalking.

 

[johnboyhunter]

Vandy has 5 steals to our ZERO

 

[GBO18]

ON playing soft. Just be consistent dude. Our offense is fine if Vandy keeps shooting like the 1st half then it will be a tight game.

 

[ColinS]

What breaks? Just poor defense on our part.

They are getting offensive rebounds for easy put backs and open threes. Nothing fluky about it. Just outplayed us that half.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

Vandy has caught tons of breaks and are shooting out of their minds.

Similar to South Carolina at Kentucky

2 guys maybe, who aren't starters. Other than that, they aren't shooting well at all.

You’d think Colorado would’ve been a lesson that you can’t just roll the ball out there.

 

[VolFreakJosh]

What breaks? Just poor defense on our part.

Chucking up 3’s while contested and most of them are going in.

I’d consider that getting breaks.

 

[jdogvol]

Vandy has 5 steals to our ZERO

. . .and 13 second chance points to our zero.

Yep zero points . Uncharacteristic

 

[SouthknoxTN07]

Looks like the defense stayed in South Carolina.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

52% FG
25% 3pt
86% FT

Vandy just had some **** fall that usually doesn’t.

40% FG, 38.5% 3PT, 89% FT

They did shoot 3 more shots too.

We must be back to reality lol

 

[jeff1vol]

Any team that has a skilled big is going to give us trouble. Their 7 footer is a player.

 

[HighWaterVol]

A vandy starter didn’t score until 30 seconds left in the half

 

[vols 30]

Vandy box score is amazing. I don't think I've ever seen 3 points total from the starting 5 at halftime

 

[Larkin]

I don’t see candy getting that lucky in the 2nd. we do have to quit getting out rebounded. May have been thinking of Saturday too much.

 

[vavolfan6]

I don't think we are playing bad at all. Vandy is playing with high intensity and has good size to combat our inside strength. Just gotta turn it up a notch defensively and be a bit more efficient beyond the perimeter.
