The Official #6 Tennessee @ #7 Texas A&M Game Thread, 12:00 PM ET

[vol94]

Impressed how Chaz kept us in game. No Offense today w/o him but I’ll take it.

Looks like we will give them the three ball. Must limit 2nd chance shots. Also, who will score for TN? They will clamp down on Chaz after half.

Sethberg isn’t wrong about TN lacks scorers.

Tennessee like that old car with an old battery on a cold morning. You hope it cranks, takes a few minutes to warm up, and once it’s running you spend the whole drive praying it keeps going.

Those could be the game Lanier scores 40.

 

[GiveHim6InSC]

This game day crew sucks.

I can’t bring myself to watch it. Is Andraya still on there? I have no use for the rest of them

 

[Govols23!]

Igor is 6-10 but plays so passive - would love to see him take the ball to the lane with power and leave the fringer role at home. He has to play more physical for TN to advance deeper in the NCAA

 

[berryvol]

Suck it weirdo Aggies

Since it’s halftime - how about West Ham today! Did us a major favor.

 

[Anti-shunshinepumper]

We don't

But we do all too often.. Chaz has 22 of our 36.
That's way more than half. That's not something that is sustainable as far as offensive distribution

 

[vol24/7/365]

Tn 36 - AM 32 at half

We need to take UT to Autozone at Halftime

 

[GUNTERSVOL]

Can’t believe Mashack is still in with 2 fouls.

Barnes must be counting on some makeup no calls.

 

[Creeker]

Couple other guys get even a little hot we may be able to pull away in this one. Gotta imagine their focus is gonna be all over Chaz next half. Add to it that we’ve played much better on both ends of the floor in the second half of recent games.

 

[VolBalls33]

ZZ didn't play the last 436 of the half. Hopefully ZZ is fresh and has a big 2nd half.

Great analogy.

Now just take care of business tomorrow

 

[TrapVol]

rebounding has not been great. Everyone jumping for the ball instead of trusting their guy to go get it.

To be fair, the Aggies’s strategy is to knock the ball in the air rather than grab the ball. It makes it more difficult to come down with the ball, even when you have better position.

He was talking about A&M from what I heard. Chaz is the best scorer on the court, obviously. Taylor gets more of his by driving.

 

[BigOrangeFanatic]

Those could be the game Lanier scores 40.

Might need him to, to win.

 

[KTrain]

15 travels every time he catches it

YEP, their inside players are very un-athletic in their post moves. another one also shuffles his feet they've called 2 but where several more they just let go.

 

[Go47]

Those could be the game Lanier scores 40.

He may have to for us to win. Maybe not 40, but we will need at least 10-12 points from him the second half . . . And the usual 6 points plus from Okpara . . . And points from Igor or ZZ.

 

[Anti-shunshinepumper]

ZZ didn't play the last 436 of the half. Hopefully ZZ is fresh and has a big 2nd half.

Barnes got him in the doghouse to wake him up. Worked last game. it works again

 

[Chaz-Vol]

I’ll admit, solid half of basketball there, but concerned about Chaz’s percentage coming back down to earth a bit next half. We have to have some other players step up if we want to win. Still, good job having a lead with ZZ sitting as much as he did.

It 100% will because TAM will send doubles and make someone else beat them. Should open things up hopefully for lobs and others to be open.

 

[VolBalls33]

Went and checked, Texas AM wasnt called for a foul the last 11:29 of the 1st half. Tell me when UT gets that at home? Pisses me off.

 

[TrapVol]

the last time I’ve seen a Tennessee game where a road player went absolutely off was Jodie Meeks at TBA

I remember Shane Battier doing that as well.

 

[KTrain]

Might need him to, to win.

I figure ZZ goes for +12 second half.

 

[Anti-shunshinepumper]

Might need him to, to win.

30-34 almost assuredly. He capable of it tho
