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

[GBO18]

Gainey has been bad for like a month now

He is getting in Tyreke Key territory. Any pts he scores is a gift. Can’t expect any kind of consistency from him at all.

 

[adam.vol]

Igor is a liability, he is too slow

He’s lazy. Wants to shove with his hands instead of moving his feet. You don’t have to stay in front of someone a foot shorter than you to stop them from shooting.

 

[RAVOL]

Keep shooting Vols. In this physical game you have to take open 3's odds could easily switch back and we hit 4 in a row. In CHRIST Alone

 

[VolGee4]

I know Tennessee plays a certain way, but it seems like every Tennessee game I watch the officials allow it to turn into a football game.

Our two best offensive players get held and grabbed all of the time. It’s why Barnes has been harping on the lack of calls after freedom of movement rules.

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

4 for 22 by Gainey zz Igor and Mashack... 18%

 

[VOLstuckinKY2]

These freaking announcers are so pro Aggie

 

[VOLINVONORE]

Down by three and the offense is just standing with ZZ dribbling the ball while the time clock ticks down. We do that way too many times.

 

[patrick]

Gainey is so bad today. We are gonna get blown out unless someone steps up.

Again, we just don’t have consistent scorers and Okpara appears to be hurt more than we thought.

He has been bad since his one big game a month ago.

 

[vol94]

Why push him, Igor? He was trapped on the baseline.

Stupid foul on Igor. But some want to blame refs.

I thought Tennessee was fouled on several rebounds as well

 

[cncchris33]

The number of holes with this Tennessee team is really unbelievable given their record and ranking.

Can't shoot
Can't score
No depth
No post offense
No ball handlers outside of ZZ

21-5 is remarkable, really.

 

[SicEmSmokey33]

Our best play is lob to Okpara, and he cant finish unless its a dunk

 

[GBO18]

12 points this half from Tennessee. Love this offense. It’s great. Just very awesome and totally won’t cost us in March.

Getting pretty much the same looks as the 1st half haha. Gotta make shots.

 

[knoxchief]

CRB needs to tell them to settle down and shoot quality shots. This tossing it up in case it goes in is not going to win us this game

 

[KTrain]

ZZ lobs are a bit off

Yep 3 times Okpara has either had to catch it coming to the ground or just tip it like the last one that missed, the announcer said he should have caught and come down but his chances of scoring after coming down are usually very low gets sped up.

 

[vol9799]

we have to find a way to get Chaz involved.

You'd think we would figure that out. The rest of the offense has been consistently below average both halves. Difference is no.Chaz in 2nd half.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

I know A&M is a great defense, but it’s just so frustrating that we can’t be better than this offensively. Lanier obviously was amazing in the first half, now he can’t hit anything this half and there has been no one to pick up his slack and help him once he gets cold.

 

[patrick]

12 points this half from Tennessee. Love this offense. It’s great. Just very awesome and totally won’t cost us in March.

Too much framing dribbling by ZZ. He gets in that dribble without a plan or purpose mode and the offense goes to sh$$. Been doing it all season.

You aren’t wrong but that doesn’t make me feel any better

 

[Chaz-Vol]

This would have been great opportunity for Igor this half but he picked this game for one of his worst performances of the season.

Me either

With any other coach we’ve had in my lifetime this team would probably struggle to make the tournament. But Barnes has them in 1 seed contention.

 

[VOLINVONORE]

I realize that but he a D1 player Wide Open...

One that shoots about 30% from the field on a good day.

It's why everyone will miss Barnes when he's gone. This team just doesn't have many shooters..
