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

[GBO18]

Gainey has been clutch these last 4 mins.

 

[ttocswob]

Needs to make these first

He did.

 

[hUTch2002]

At least stop the ball. Giving up easy layups is stupid.

 

[knoxchief]

There.you go. Gotta make these free throws.....and he did!

 

[VFL1127]

Where's the defense

 

[tnvols72]

2 times in a row that Tn just let them make layups

 

[Anti-shunshinepumper]

If a TO wasn't called there I was going to break my phone

 

[patrick]

That’s a foul on ZZ on inbound

Got run over basically.

 

[Clad in Big Orange]

Negavols out in force

Super fans coming out now

 

[vavolfan6]

Why are we letting easy layups to the rim in 3 or 4 second?!

 

[C-south]

If you’re gonna let him walk down the lane for a layup may as well foul

 

[vol94]

I know we didn’t want to foul but two easy layups first them.

47.7 seconds is a lifetime. Have to get ball to ZZ.

 

[NOLAPhil]

Can't play defense when the whistles are hot

 

[patrick]

He did.

U are ahead of me.

 

[vol24/7/365]

Hell we’ve watched the refs harrass us!

 

[VolsSportsFan]

So we just letting them score? I get trying not to foul but come on

 

[RAVOL]

I believe they will not foul here. Make shot coming up

 

[chuckb1448]

Why are we letting easy layups to the rim in 3 or 4 second?!

Foul em!!

 

[BreatheUT]

So I'm guessing the timeout has to come from the coaches to avoid the 5 second call.

 

[knoxchief]

These announcers are trash. They have their heads so far us A&M's ass they can't see daylight

 

[VolBalls33]

A&M is scoring way too fast. Please Vols pull this one out!!

 

[Go47]

Making it to easy on them to get downhill and shoot a layup.

 

[adam.vol]

None of the teams you mentioned have more than 8-9 serviceable players - just like us. No one is playing more than 8 in most cases come March anyways. If we stay healthy, we are plenty deep.

I don’t understand why this needs to be said, but it 100% accurate. If you have 8 guys who can be trusted with the ball and on defense, you have a deep rotation. Hardly anyone uses 9 guys regularly.

Some people have been trying to make excuses for TN since before we even lost a game.

 

[tnvols72]

what was ZZ doing?

 

[patrick]

Need a basket please.
