The Official #6 [2] Tennessee vs. [7] Texas Game Thread, 8:00 PM ET, CBS

[MoCo_Vol]

I don’t know HOW we’re up by 9, but holy hell. If we settle down on offense this will be a blowout.

 

[zjcvols]

Damn DK can’t throw it in the ocean

DK/Santi/ZZ 2-17 and up 9 is basically a miracle

 

[Schasz727]

Butt ugly 1st half, but I'll take a 9 point lead.

 

[JoeMiltonsAgent]

Knecht is 1 for 8 in the first half.

Need a scoring spurt from him early in the second to put some distance on these guys.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

He’s getting no open looks.

That last one was

 

[vols 30]

The hustle of Gainey and Mashack was special that half.

 

[TJSVOLS]

Dang that was ugly, but I’ll take it for 1 more half…

 

[Jaxon_Vol2017]

Whatever you think about our offense that half, think how Texas must feel lol

Exactly. Absolutely terrible. We ain't much better.

 

[sportsnut624]

Would love for our superstar to decide to enter the game the next half. We can’t win with that type of performance in the second half

 

[Prayivm3rcy]

Knecht cant hit nothing so far

He looks tired

 

[Clad in Big Orange]

Knecht 1/8 isn't ideal

But leading by 9 at half. I thinks he’s about to go !

 

[ENGRVOL]

ZZ and Knecht won’t go 2-15 combined in the 2nd half. We got this!!

 

[vol4eva]

Somehow up 9

 

[Kicker82]

Defense is saving our butts

 

[Zues1]

If they make half those misses it's 20 point lead.
Both teams offense has been bad

 

[jaguinn5]

Starters are only shooting like 21%. Yikes.

 

[vavolfan6]

Shot 28% and still up 9...I guess that says something. Need better shooting to close this one out. Leaving the door open

 

[Jimmyandjoes]

They've gotta get downhill and attack the basket in the 2nd half. Maybe will hit free throws

 

[molsen81]

Damn DK can’t throw it in the ocean

It may big too big of a stage for him right now. First time in the tourney and now in the 2nd round. He needs to settle down

 

[VolunteerVandiver]

Knecht cant hit nothing so far

He is hitting plenty of nothing lol

He will score 20 in the 2nd half

 

[DarkVolder]

Slow start for DK but he is like a microwave he can heat up and get going real quick

 

[SlyStone]

Mashack needs more minutes in second half.

Aidoo, ZZ, Knecht, Mashack and JJJ. I’d sun Gainey and Mashack and play Santi sparingly.

Vescovi comes in if we are up by 25 with 2 mins left.

 

[Jaxon_Vol2017]

I'mma be real here - being up 28-19 after that crappy half is solid gold.

I'm inclined to agree. We're pretty lucky considering

 

[zeppelin128]

Final score
Tennessee 41
Texas 32

 

[D3Athlete]

Maybe the hardest Tennessee has played all year. Energy level was just different. Don’t let up. Defense was lights out. Offense just settle in. Shots will start falling
