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

[SicEmSmokey33]

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.

May be the most accurate description ever!!!

They weren’t guarding Mashack. So I saw ZZ motion to call the play.

He brought JM up to handle ball up top (forcing them to guard him)

ZZ screen to Lanier for wide open 3

Clever

 

[VolCalls]

That second sentence is the key to us winning this game

I feel like a broken record. They have been great on defensive rotations despite our ball movement. We need to be ready to catch and shoot in the 2nd half.

 

[Anti-shunshinepumper]

This game day crew sucks.

Only one picked UT to win.....oh ye of little faith.

 

[VolGee4]

Did we look better when he had to sit for a bit? I’m not trying to start a stink, I just can’t decide when TN turned it around in the first half.

We took the lead initially on ZZ’s 3. We’ve been hot and cold with him out. We were terrible at Vandy when Barnes sat him with 2 fouls.

ZZ to the basket is what we need if they try to double the flaming Lanier

Careful on the “flaming” term!

 

[omghulkhands]

Clever

It’s a good play. Idk how many times you can run it in a game. But it was unique enough from our typical offensive sets it really turned my head

Not today so far

 

[KTrain]

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.

He said A&M lacks scorers when I was listening, he may have said that about UT also.

ZZ starts to penetrate second half there ought to be someone wide open

 

[BreatheUT]

I love that University of Tennessee commercial.

Knew I would get that comment.
Thanks for not disappointing

A&M’s playing their standard pressure D which is resulting in these open looks for Lanier. It’s also resulted in our turn overs and shot clock violations. A&M will have to make a fundamental change in their D or Lanier will get more good looks. Hopefully he can make them at a good clip if so.

 

[therealitytheory]

Weird the kind of stats they keep.

 

[BernardKingGOAT]

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

Yeah, not ideal for sure. A half to go. Seeing Zigler and Milicic knock down a couple of 3s down the stretch gives me hope

 

[ashleyyy]

time for ZZ to come alive

 

[berryvol]

4 shot clock violations. Kill me.

 

[C-south]

Yay another shot clock violation

 

[TheMookieMonster]

4 shot clock violations. Kill me.

Stuff like that is killer in a close game. Just shoot the ball.

 

[Clad in Big Orange]

What a wasted possession

 

[Anti-shunshinepumper]

Wasted opportunity #1 of the second half

 

[volsarelife1]

Was a dumb out of bounds play

 

[VolsLFC]

Refs back at it

 

[cncchris33]

These officials man...

 

[omghulkhands]

Where the foul though?
