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

[tnvols72]

Need to uptick the intensity and Mashack needs to make A&M pay for keeping him open every play.

Mashack cant even make a layup

 

[Voltopia]

Pat Adams says Texas A&M hasn’t fouled this half.

How he can see that with head halfway up his own ass is beyond me, but. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

[Anti-shunshinepumper]

4 fouls on us Already

I think they suck shooting free throws so may not hurt us too bad

 

[Chaz-Vol]

At some point I think Barnes is going to have to let Gainey start. These starts to games and halves are brutal.

Zz is not have a good game today. It looks like he is really out of control. Throwing the ball away and not seeing open players.

I was wondering if he's under the weather or something. He's playing poorly and was out for an extended time in the 1st half even before he picked up his 2nd foul and Barnes sat him.

 

[RAVOL]

Just stay in game Vols. Shots will start to fall. First 5mns A&M will be at there best.

Mashack- love the guy but he's really only an asset on half the court.

 

[Clad in Big Orange]

I love Jahmai as much as the next person for his defensive prowess, but he is a straight up liability on the offensive side of the court. Have to get it out of his hands and not feed him unfortunately. Like another poster stated, it’s always a several point swing when he tries to score. :-(

You just can’t have a one-way player unless they are a great scorer.

 

[Putbacks]

Foul count:
UT: 11
A&M: 5

I agree... actually I want Barnes to get Tossed.... have a Fit Coach!!!

He's played like this for a lot of the season unfortunately. Which says something about the potential of this team still.

 

[VOLINVONORE]

Mashack Shoot it!

He in not a very good shooter from anywhere on the court. I would like to see Gainey and Phillips for a couple of minutes with Zz and Mashack rest .

 

[TheMookieMonster]

The worst free throw shooting team in the conference at 68% is 6/7 today lol.

 

[Caz]

If there’s a day they shoot 90% or better, it will be against us

 

[Go47]

Mashack- love the guy but he's really only an asset on half the court.

This game his defense is not nearly enough to account for his lack of offense. Other games it has been.

 

[tnvols72]

Lanier on the bench,I am shocked

 

[Anti-shunshinepumper]

Did I hear that right? Barnes was coaching when Dominique Wilkins played?

 

[berryvol]

What is Barnes doing with these lineups?!? Mashack, Phillips, and Okpara after we’ve started ice cold?

 

[tnvols72]

Lazy D

 

[TheMookieMonster]

You can tell Okpara is hurting because he has zero explosion on offense. He’s looked weak when we pass the ball to him.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

This team is so frustrating

 

[VolCalls]

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

He can’t - their defense is too good. We’ve not had any semblance of an inside game.

 

[hUTch2002]

Just terrible offense. Standing around.

 

[GBO18]

ZZ needs to up his energy.
