The Official #6 Tennessee @ #1Auburn Game Thread, 8:30 PM ET, ESPN

[LegionnaireOfTheMiserable]

Boswell brings absolutely nothing to this rotation.

Nobody is really bringing anything to the rotation tonight

 

[kiddiedoc]

This is, however, the kind of game we might sneak up and win. We didn't have a chance if auburn put up 90.

 

[VOLinAL]

they just said a combined 1-21 for both teams behind the 3 tonight LMAOOO

And that 1 aint us.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

We don’t have the firepower that they do and thus there’s no reason to try to act otherwise. Drag them into the mud

We still need to hit shots.

 

[99gator]

I understand people's angst with Barnes now.

It's undeniable what he's done for the program, wins a lot of games, etc. But, I don't know if you can ever achieve the ultimate goal playing this kind of basketball.

 

[vavolfan6]

0-11 from 3 and 8 turnovers, but only down 2 to the #1 team in the nation in their home gym..

 

[BigOrangeFanatic]

That will change in the second half.

 

[A-RodWiLks]

Dubar...a body in the floor. Not much else

True. Him and Igor are pretty worthless

 

[PandamoniumReigns]

Cardwell has a very punchable face.

He's like that Mañon dbag at Vandy. If I passed them on the street I would have the urge to punch them in the face. And keep walking.

 

[VolunteerCeltic]

CRB teaching Lanier a season long lesson. Wtf

He should, Chaz is worthless in big games. Misses his shots badly, dribbles off his foot, gets blocked from behind. Hell, I would sit him the rest of the game

 

[DooleyOrangePants]

If Bruce is stupid enough to play Broome like he has, can we please attack him in the half court offense? He’s favoring that leg and is a step or two slow on everything he has to move for.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Us missing 3s & turnovers is why we’re behind.

Out rebounded them by 1 & shot a better FG% despite going 0-11 from deep.

7-14 from 2PT

 

[BreatheUT]

Fortunately we're still in the game because it's a rock fight but if Auburn goes on a short run this one is probably over. If we go on a run it's likely their offense is more likely to wake up at home. We have to knock down some shots and not have a stalled offense because I don't think we can withstand a run.

Yeah, I feel great about this. It could go any one of a number of ways in the second half, but to see UT throttle Auburn and hold them to 22? That's fantastic. Hold the anointed #1 team in the nation to 22, and be within a basket of them? Super. Good chance to steal this one. Damn good chance.

 

[GUNTERSVOL]

Dang, just went to DVR, we ARE BEHIND by a phantom foul call.

 

[C-south]

Not Darlingtone Dubar and Mashack i know that much.

It’s sad Mashack has never developed some sort of semblance of an offensive game.

 

[tnvols72]

The 1st 5 minutes could be dangerous for Tn
Have no confidence in Tn coming out hot. I hope I am wrong

 

[kiddiedoc]

GTFO. Barnes isn't 0-fer from 3.

 

[rocketskates]

Exactly. It’s not pretty, but I don’t get the outrage. They literally said in the pregame countdown that Tennessee’s best chance is to keep it low scoring. If Auburn scores 75+ they win.

 

[Kas232323]

Our offense is just ugh . No one literally no one has freedom of shot in a Barnes offense so they all are usually so tight when they shoot it.

This is such a low bball IQ comment.

 

[utVolFanInVA]

As bad as we are shooting, 28%, they are at 21%

Only thing keeping this from being a blow out!

 

[Switch 625]

This game is setting back basketball 100 years

I heard they are replacing the rims with peach baskets for the second half.

 

[minorvol]

Offense is struggling and lost, no doubt. But let me see if I got this right. Been studying on here for about a decade so here goes:

So Auburn should just fire CBP at half? I mean the number one team in the country should be up by 20 at half, not 2, right?

Or maybe the refs have let this game get a little out of control which makes it more difficult to score when getting hacked or held so you can’t run your offense.

 

[GBO18]

Keep ZZ attacking and hopefully we start knocking down some 3s.

 

[volsarelife1]

This is the type of game we need it to be for us to win. The question is will Auburn play that poorly offensively for 2 straight halves. Because we know we can play that bad for multiple halves
