The Official #6 Tennessee @ #9 Arizona Game Thread, 10:30 PM ET, ESPN2

[TheMookieMonster]

I would try and slow the pace down if I’m Tennessee. Considering how much foul trouble we have and that Vescovi is still clearly playing hurt, I’m not sure it’s in our best interest to play Arizona’s game. But, this is why I’m a couch coach and not the actual coach lol.

 

[Freak]

He needs to keep a cooler head about him, He's got the crowd against him now...He's trying to bully that big boy and he's not biting...Twice he hurt our momentum...He's playing well but he needs to stop the stupid stuff and we'll be fine.

Agree, but like @DC_Vol said, Uros is a guy whose game feeds off of emotion, kind of like Banks in previous years. He needs to tone it down, but if you remove that emotion completely, it takes away from his game. He just has to learn to be smarter.

 

[Larkin]

I think we need to slow it down a little and make AZ play our game in the second half. I dont think they can out execute us in the half court.

They’re gonna get their points, I think if we slow it down we turn into ice cubes on offense

 

[Vols till I fall]

This is the Uros we need and want. Not so much the excessive yapping, but when he is aggressive and attacking the rim, this team is different

When he plays ballerina ball, that's what annoys me

Yeah we have a tendency to get stagnant in our 1/2 court sets sometimes.

 

[LieutenantNeyland]

I think a fair whistle does more for us than anything

 

[walkenvol]

3 charges called same Arizona player. The guy spent most of the half on his back.

Dude wasn’t establishing position on 2 of those - slides over into guys while both are moving. Another favorable call they’re way

 

[TheMagnificantOne]

Nah, just the best offense in college basketball.

Nah, they've only played one other ranked team besides us...they got "best" offense against scrubs...do a little research before you come at me

 

[TheBigOne10]

Santi is ice ice cold

 

[sechamp2012]

Phillips looks a little shell shocked out there, like maybe the moment is too big for him. Hope he tightens up second half.

Guys he’s a freshman and this is a very raucous basketball savvy crowd. This is first big time game on a true away game and hostile crowd. That U of A chants getting on my nerves.Hopefully he’s got the hitters out and plays like he’s capable down the stretch.

 

[SlyStone]

Vescovi can't rent a basket

 

[Larkin]

Moving screen

 

[tnvols72]

Just set Uros down

 

[joevols89]

Uros - just stupid.

 

[vols 30]

Uros is his own worst enemy

 

[sportsnut624]

That’s fine if they want to call that but they better start calling it on ballo

 

[Caz]

Been awhile since we’ve had Santi V play big in these key games.

 

[Col_Cathcart]

Am I missing something or does Ballo take about 3 steps while screening?

 

[TheBigOne10]

We may never shoot a free throw. Truly

 

[TrapVol]

Zona does moving screens every possession, and they finally call one... on Plavsic. SMH...

 

[tnvols72]

well looks like Barnes did not get to speak with the refs at the half

 

[volfanhill]

Undisciplined and dumb

 

[Freak]

That’s fine if they want to call that but they better start calling it on ballo

They won't. He's been getting away with it to this point.

 

[Larkin]

This is ridiculous

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Our youth is showing. Phillips with a bad game. Awaka with a very dumb foul.
