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

[OrngeJuiceJones]

Statically Igor and Gainey are hurting us... Gainey 1 for 6

 

[VolsSportsFan]

Igor is playing very timid

 

[vols 30]

What's the record for blocked shots.

Idk. What's the record for most 3 pointers missed? 1/26 combined

 

[C-south]

They are all shots when the shot clock is at 0. The guys have no choice but to shoot and the defenders know it too.

Yea why are we purposely running the clock down then?

 

[Volnukem]

Chaz needs work harder to get open. Doesn’t work nearly hard enough coming off screens.

If he had Vescovi’s motor, dude would be unstoppable with his quick release.

 

[rocketskates]

if we keep taking it at Broome, it’s going to get interesting. Bruce isn’t going to pull him, he’s their offensive output. More steam and we can get a run on them, they are too reliant on him.

I’m still surprised we aren’t attacking him more. Get him into foul trouble and they would be in a tough spot.

 

[DooleyOrangePants]

It was

The hand in the back had nothing to do with it then?

 

[gainesvol82]

Igor could get to a spot and pull up on every play. Why has this not been beaten into his head by Barnes.

 

[Go47]

Bottom line - we don’t have enough points on the floor with Gainey out and Lanier scoring 4 points.

 

[Larkin]

He needs to work harder for his shots. Agree 100 percent

 

[Berry4Heisman14]

Chaz needs work harder to get open. Doesn’t work nearly hard enough coming off screens.

I don’t think he has the quickness. That’s his Achilles heel in my opinion

 

[VOLinAL]

Lanier doesn’t move enough. Three point shooter need to constantly be moving and taking advantage of screens.

 

[SGMVols]

Yeah. Pearl was no different. He couldn't win in March either, at least when he was here. He's done better at AU. He's got a chance to win it all this year.

I usually dont clown on Barnes, he has been the best coach we've ever had. But facts are facts.

Pearl’s FF at Barn was a total fluke. They should’ve lost the first round game that year but an 80% FT shooter for New Mexico State missed 2 at the line just before the buzzer. Making just one would’ve sent them home.

It’s the only time at Auburn he’s gotten through the first weekend

 

[RAVOL]

So far we have answered every run by Au with crowd getting loud. Need to step it up again.

 

[Anti-shunshinepumper]

Statically Igor and Gainey are hurting us... Gainey 1 for 6

But Barnes refuses to play Dubar. Even puts in BB in over him

 

[jim285pro]

Auburn whines a lot. Even their coach. At least the Vols take the calls like a man.

 

[tnvols72]

No one can hit a damn shot. I truly believe they don’t work on offense but a small fraction of their practices.

I think they spend 99% just working on defense.

 

[Ernest T. Vol]

3 on Gainey

 

[walkenvol]

No foul on Gsiney

 

[knoxchief]

I still think the refs are giving pearl too much latitude coming out on the court!

 

[GiveHim6InSC]

We will be getting to the point where the refs take over soon

 

[tnvols72]

Igor strikes again

 

[vavolfan6]

These refs are determined to even up foul count. So when we are actually fouled, we have to wait first for refs to call weak fouls against us before they call it against Auburn again.

Glad you feel better for saying that.

Where you at Chaz
