The Official #6 [2] Tennessee vs. #11 [3] Creighton Game Thread, 10:09 PM ET, TBS/truTV

They seem to be content taking knecht out of the game and forcing others to beat them. So far we’ve had a lot of open looks from 3, hopefully jjj can keep hitting and the rest can heat up

It’s nice to see JJJ come out shooting with six early points. I still don’t think we want ZZ or Mashack shooting many jump shots. Awaka and/or Aidoo have to give us about 15 points. Knecht is being face-guarded thus far so he’s been taken out of the game.

I don’t see it. We’re more athletic but they seem very well coached and are good shooters. We’ll see

They get nothing in half court sets…lots of turnovers and forced shots at end of shot clock…testament to our team

 

[rocketskates]

I think we can keep wearing down Schierman. He looks like he’s huffing and puffing already. Put Mashack on him and let Mashack chew him up.

 

[Redleg68]

they look A LOT slower than us

Yep, the way we are subbing and they are not, we should own the last 10 minutes of this game

 

[vavolfan6]

I think we can tire this Creighton team down if we can sustain a lead

 

[chuckb1448]

Ticky tack

I just got fussed at but I agree. Creighton is dropping their shoulders and bumping us to shoot but nothings called... a Reach and Gainey pulls our a chainsaw and cuts a shooters hand off

Smart coaching. That’s what I would do. Make ZZ, JJJ, and others beat you.

 

[volplaya8]

There you go Rick!!! Gotta get the job done!!!

 

[TrumpedUpVol]

Ballsy, Gainey!

 

[TrippieRedd]

Taking Alexander out of the game so far has been nice

 

[firestorm]

Time to resume

 

[Voljayton]

Great shot Gainey

 

[TartanTurff]

Got to put the ball in the basket, transition game should favor Tennessee but the shooting woes are killing the chance to get up on this opponent, offense needs a spark no another ball screen

 

[JoeMiltonsAgent]

Nice shot by Gainey

 

[volplaya8]

Estrella can’t play….come on…

 

[TrumpedUpVol]

Well, Estrella isn't ready for that matchup.

 

[Volnbeers]

Yikes estrella

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Estrella in this game ain’t it.

 

[Bryan1]

They are basically face guarding Knecht, gonna nee others to step up and score.

A lead or keep it close and we should be able to close them out the last 5 min of the game. They don’t have the depth that we do, but we can’t let them get on a run.

 

[vol4eva]

Why is Estrella playing smh

 

[Volnbeers]

Cmon mashak

 

[chuckb1448]

Crap

 

[hUTch2002]

Estrella needs to learn to guard that pivot. That guy set him up easily.
