The Official #6 [2] Tennessee vs. #2 [1] Houston Game Thread, 2:20 PM ET, CBS

[VolunteerCeltic]

This team had a good run no denying it, but Barnes needs offensive players who don't disappear in big games.

 

[cdb88]

Should have been driving the whole game not stopping at the free throw and passing back out drive down the take the risk. Wish Barnes would retire.

 

[vols 30]

Even if we comeback, DUKE will humiliate us with Flagg

I'll take it

 

[cwbytruckers]

That Fat Lady in the corner is getting warmed up

 

[Go47]

Lanier has his worst game at the worst time. He is comically bad today.

 

[VFL1127]

It’s not been effort
It’s been about hitting shots. Plain and simple. Chaz HAS to show up

This effort wasn't there the first half

 

[Orangeslide]

Y

I'm sorry but Lanier is killing is. Outside of that one 3 he's been a liability today.

gotta ride with him. Hope he starts scoring

 

[orangemadam]

I can’t wait till we get shooters next year

We have 2 this yr.

It’s not been effort

We didn’t bother to rebound in the first half.

 

[Mid Tenn Vol]

Too little too late. We really stunk it up. We’re not a come from behind team.

 

[Anti-shunshinepumper]

Gainey is hot - gotta hope they go cold . . . And Lanier joins Gainey.

Even at that . . . It would take a 18-4 run like UF had in their game to win.

Gotta get it under 10 at 10:00.

10 by the 7:00 mark would feel like a blessing from on high

 

[vavolfan6]

I know the frustration is going to be about our 1st half shooting, but the focus should really be on our bigs. We have 2-3 inches om Houston's tallest guys, yet have a huge point disparity inside.

 

[rocketskates]

I'll take it

Exactly. If it means making out first FF I’ll take my chances against Flagg.

 

[SlyStone]

Please go ice cold Houston. Or start having turnovers.

They are to well coached for that to happen today.

 

[TheBigOne10]

Chaz with a nice parting gift to us

 

[TrueOrange]

Even if we comeback, DUKE will humiliate us with Flagg

Probably yes, but I think people would be ecstatic with the school finally making the Final Four.

 

[Go47]

Duke would put 80 - 85 on us. Beat us by 30. But man I wanted a final 4!

 

[GAVol]

Should have been driving the whole game not stopping at the free throw and passing back out drive down the take the risk. Wish Barnes would retire.

You think it’s a strategy to get to the paint and stop?

 

[RAVOL]

Greatest run of basketball in Tennessee History and Barnes bashing is in force. Unbelievable

 

[UTK]

Defense step the **** up

 

[Vol737]

Lanier stinks today.

Everybody goes cold from time to time. Sure would help if we had more than two on the floor at a time that we’re all threats to drop dimes.

 

[molsen81]

That Fat Lady in the corner is getting warmed up

And Barnes has his retirement spot reserved on the beach

 

[rocketskates]

This effort wasn't there the first half

Playing scared. Got down by a lot and we started loosening up and just playing without the tension knowing that we are most likely gonna lose. Shoulda started that way.

 

[OrangeBeachVol]

That Fat Lady in the corner is getting warmed up

I think she has been silently singing all game, ha.

 

[C-south]

F********* rebound
