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

[Allvols98]

Just me, or do we look a bit off without vesi?

 

[Lankykong]

Kalkbrenner is why we aren’t scoring in the paint. He drops. The shots we aren’t taking are at the elbow. Wide open.

He camps out in the paint. I would ideally like to see more action for 3s and then Knecht can do whatever

 

[vol4eva]

JJJs got to get more involved on offense

 

[ColinS]

Yeah, if we wind up losing this one, I def won't be as upset as I was the last two times. I honestly think we'll pull it off tonight, though.

I don't think we are in a bad spot having played all those minutes with freshman on the floor only down 1.

 

[TrippieRedd]

DK about to show them why he is SEC player of the year.

 

[UTK]

It’s a damn shame we didn’t take over this game in the first half. Better go on a run to start the half or it is gonna feel like Deja vu in here in all the worst ways.

 

[Orangeblooded615]

Knect needs to get going. Defense has been solid.

 

[Frozevol]

Exactly, their big comes out to set a screen then they run a pick and roll, Aidoo needs to keep his ass around the rim.

Just don’t understand how he doesn’t understand that he is 7ft player

 

[JoeMiltonsAgent]

I think everyone is missing that Creighton is setting a screen on those lob plays and Aidoo is getting picked off by the screen. Someone else has to be responsible for the guy going to the basket.

Yeah and they are gonna keep doing it if Aidoo doesn't make some semblance of an adjustment.

Aidoo is at least a step or two slow in reacting to what they are doing. Getting sucked into the screen every time.

[Other_Guy]

I think as good as we were playing defense and the turnovers we’ve got we should have capitalized on.

And Creighton fans are shocked they air mailed so many shots.

 

[vol94]

Bold strategy to have your two post players shooting jump shots.

Aidoo and Awaka both can go to the rim, imo.

 

[knoxchief]

DK about to show them why he is SEC player of the year.

We can only hope!

 

[jim285pro]

We’re in good shape. I’m drinking heavily. Be prepared. I don’t want it to end.

 

[theroyz71]

Candace Parker is beautiful.

 

[Volstylexx]

Houston’s star player went out with ankle injury. Basketball is such a cruel sport in March.

 

[FlVols]

Let’s go boys. We’re all cheering for you! Get us into 8”!!

 

[Frozevol]

Knect needs to get going. Defense has been solid.

Obviously, but he’s been passing on shots. Time to shine young man!

 

[UTK]

Did you think Creighton sucked?

Nope but we are better. Period. So I hope they don’t mess this up

 

[vol4eva]

Less Jonas bricks and more DK and JJJ please

 

[Orange931]

I will have a heart attack before this game ends Go Vols!!

It’s the UT way, not good for your health at all.

 

[Lankykong]

And Creighton fans are shocked they air mailed so many shots.

They shot ~50% from 3 with multiple guarded makes. Sounds like an unreasonable fanbase

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Kalkbrenner is why we aren’t scoring in the paint. He drops. The shots we aren’t taking are at the elbow. Wide open.

Yes, except most of the wide open shots on the drop are Aidoo and he has not shown a consistent ability to hit that all year. I hope we are telling him to stop taking that shot and either kick it out or attack the basket to try and draw a foul on Kalk. That midrange jumper is such a low percentage shot for Aidoo.

 

[Chris4Vols22]

Just a reminder, Candace Parker is gorgeous.

 

[vol94]

Yeah and they are gonna keep doing it if Aidoo doesn't make some semblance of an adjustment.

Aidoo is at least a step or two slow in reacting to what they are doing. Getting sucked into the screen every time.

I don’t think he knows how to fight off the back screen. He looked lost.
