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

We don’t have anyone who can play D in the post. We get blown by and beaten with ease. Offense sucks, too.

D is not our problem.

 

[Larkin]

offensive clinic on us

Uhhhh. Bad take

 

[TrapVol]

None of our guys can drop it in the ocean, and the one guy that gets free throws - Plavsic - is not our best on the line. I can't believe we aren't down by double digits.

 

[BP4Prez]

Vescovi is a non factor (a liability) on offense this year. Unable to drive and shooting under 30% from three

 

[volfanhill]

JJJ needs to sit until fully healthy. Quit this on and off crap.

 

[Switch 625]

Call a TO Rick!

He’s waiting for us to get a breakaway to call a TO

 

[Frozevol]

These droughts are our Achilles heal.

 

[GUNTERSVOL]

Call a TO Rick!

Or keep your timeout and wait 10 seconds and get a freebie. Is this even a tossup?

 

[VolsSportsFan]

Have to fix these offensive droughts.

 

[TooLegit2Quit]

How can you objectively look at this performance? You can't. We got 100% dicked down by this officiating crew the likes of which I've never seen.

I don't blame dudes in foul trouble for not being able to defend like they have. We can't buy a call in the paint.

 

[VolunteerCeltic]

Call a TO Rick!

He likes to save them, go into the half with 3

 

[cwbytruckers]

Dykes wants to be the next vital. He's annoying

He calls it pretty good both ways. I love listening to him.

 

[KB5252]

I like Rick but he let's this team completely derail before he makes any coaching moves. This roster needs players that can score. Refs are letting them play now..... We just can't do anything offensively.

 

[VOLnVANDYland]

Rick loves dudes that hustle on D … but have bricks for hands on offense

 

[Switch 625]

D is not our problem.

Down low it is.

 

[Caz]

I’m still trying to understand what we are doing offensively other then dribble and chuck up a prayer

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Eh i wouldn’t go that far, but Phillips is 0-5 and Vescovi is 1-9 and that’s why we are losing offensively right now

Yeah, but it feels like most of the season we’ve seen the post game stats and talked about how we “survived” a bad shooting night. There have been sporadic positive individual performances here or there, but nothing to instill confidence yet…

 

[LieutenantNeyland]

Basketball is a game of streaks. There is still time, but we got to find a few hot hands and get some stops.

This officiating streak has been ONE sided and doesn’t look to end soon.

 

[cwbytruckers]

None of our guys can drop it in the ocean, and the one guy that gets free throws - Plavsic - is not our best on the line. I can't believe we aren't down by double digits.

The ocean is to far away

 

[DC_Vol]

Or keep your timeout and wait 10 seconds and get a freebie. Is this even a tossup?

You’re right. I like the free one.

 

[casetopia]

Tubelis is the best player in the floor tonight, hands down.

Easy game when u can't foul.

 

[firestorm]

Volunteers 3 point shooting in the 2nd half is as awful as O’Neals free throw shooting.

 

[VOLinAL]

Tn does have a shooter on the floor or the bench who you can say go win the game. We have not had cold blooded shooters seems like 5 years

Every time I watch this team I just wish glee had one more year of Bone, Williams, and Schofield.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

For as good as we are defensively, we are equally bad offensively. I’m not sure how to feel about this team yet and our chances to win the SEC or make a March run. We just have no idea what to do on offense.

It looks to me like we have a lot of immaturity on this team. Not by class per say but experience.
ZZZ having to be the PG, Mashak can get to the rim but doesnt know what to do when he gets there, Phillips Frhesman, Key hasnt played at this level. How far this team goes will be decided by how fast they grow up.

Pathetic
