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

[Plecoptera]

ESPN only scheduled 2 hours per game. Again. How much of the first half do we miss when Houston at Kansas runs over (6:30-8:30)?

ESPN is doing this on purpose to drive viewers to subscribe to ESPN Plus.

How many games are over in less than 2 hours? 40 minutes of game time. 20 minutes for halftime. 8x 3 minute breaks for TV time outs. That only leaves 36 minutes for EVERYTHING ELSE. Ref reviews. The clock not running after whistles. I hate ESPN.

Seems like these games always run over the allotted time.

The guy who REALLY needs to step up tonight is Igor. He needs to be a threat offensively and continue being good rebounding. If he goes for 12+ points, I predict we win

We’re going to need another legitimate offensive option to make a tourney run, and he’s the most likely candidate.

 

[Woodlawn VOL]

We’re gonna win!!!! GBO

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

This drives me absolutely effing crazy.

It triggers me, so I’m doing the preemptive rage posting now.

I’ve given up on whatever streaming is supposed to be included with my cable TV package. SEC Network. SECNW plus. ESPN. ESPN plus. Disney Plus.

Log in with your TV provider on the ESPN App (which isn’t capable of remembering my device or password), Your event hasn’t started yet and will be available on the ESPN App. This channel isn’t included with your provider’s plan. I should have cut the dam cord already and signed up for YouTube (which costs how much now? $75, $80, $90?

Could be a friend trolling him him

Inside job.

[GiveHim6InSC]

Is Broome playing?

If he does, maybe somebody’ll bump that ankle

 

[BreatheUT]

If he plays they have already said it would be limited minutes. They are dumb to play him. His ankle is still not right. He has even said he is not a full go.

I think it's a big risk when they can still win this without him.

Didn't Vandy lose mid week to Alabama?

 

[SGMVols]

Vandy’s a tournament team

 

[TennesseeFan07]

Didn't Vandy lose mid week to Alabama?

Yes.

Not playing at home in the weird gym.

 

[OrangeInKy]

is it too early for “these announcers are literally rooting for Auburn” posts yet? ESPN and referees hate us. I don’t plan on being here for the game posts so wanted to beat the traffic and get my complaints in.

Never realized how similar Steven Pearl looks to comedian Tim Robinson.

Not sure who Tim Robinson is but I hate that he looks like an entitled tool.

 

[Lefteye]

Not sure who Tim Robinson is but I hate that he looks like an entitled tool.

Oh no guy, he’s one of the best defensive coaches in the game according to.. well pops.

Some have been 20-30 min over

 

[VeeOhElEsYes]

Gainey bout to have his "flu game"

 

[chuckb1448]

Howdy Volunteers! Wish I came in Positive.... pretty certain Refs are a Factor tonight. Hope I'm wrong..... we are good enough win this game, our Men have to come and Take Care of Business.... can they do it?

Go Big

I remember one time when the Vols were playing Florida and the game airing prior went into double overtime we missed a good chunk of the first half. At least ESPN will usually put the game on one of the other stations like ESPN News.

 

[JCP201]

So, Gainey and Igor both playing tonight? I hate that the flu starts going around right when we hit the hard part of our schedule.

Seems like the start of every game on ESPN today has been on ESPN News. Wouldn’t be surprised if our game is the same.

and they storm the courts so often for so little reason that their SEC fines will halt their football construction

 

[Clad in Big Orange]

I’m just wondering if they can stay within 30 of the pearly brawlers.

I've been 1 off for two straight games on total Lanier 3s made.

Tonight I'm going with Lanier goes for 7+ 3s made and goes off like Knecht did against Auburn last year

Said it before the Vandy game that I thought Lanier would break out of his slump and hit 5+ 3s in it. Was one off with 4.

Tonight Lanier goes for 6+ 3s and gets hot for this ridiculous 4 game stretch.
