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

Awaka could be a force.

NO got fouled all the way down the court on the steal.

 

[TooLegit2Quit]

Awaka immediately in savaging people. ZZ is on. Good environment. This is fun!

I wish we were full strength.

 

[GBO18]

ZZ looking goood so far.

 

[TrapVol]

Good game so far. I hope the refs start picking up on those moving screens by Arizona up top. They do it every time.

 

[Franklin_Vol09]

Is Arizona as deep as us? This pace is really fast.

 

[Gbo basketball123]

Let’s go

 

[VolArmy74]

Okay, that statement about never wearing a shirt and seldom wearing pants by Dykes actually made me laugh.

 

[Vols till I fall]

That play by ZZ was cold

 

[TheBigOne10]

Good start all things considered. Gotta keep closing out and contesting. They will jack a ton of 3’s

 

[sportsnut624]

This is a great game to get awaka and aidoo a lot of minutes. I’m the grand scheme of things this game is house money for us so these younger guys getting hostile environment experience will only help us in sec play

Awaka could be a force.

NO got fouled all the way down the court on the steal.

Then Arizona bench cried about a travel after. Should have T'd Kerr up for his reaction.

 

[Creeker]

Awaka plays desperate and I love it. Plays like he NEEDS every rebound.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

I would say our KenPom defensive efficiency is going to take a bit of a hit after this type of run and gun game lol.

 

[patrick]

No, he should not have.

He was setting a tone. The T was bs.

 

[chuckb1448]

Power rebound by Awaka!

Awaka is going to be good with some playing time

 

[allvol123]

Awaka could be a force.

NO got fouled all the way down the court on the steal.

It was unreal. No call whatsoever. Effing joke.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Is Arizona as deep as us? This pace is really fast.

This is their pace.

 

[VolGee4]

You can say that, sure. But I’m not blaming the refs on this one. It was a completely necessary thing for Uros to do and you are inviting the officials to punish you when you do that. You should never leave your fate in the hands of the officials.

The game is just officiated softly these days. But I agree that Uros should know that. There was a technical in the Memphis-A&M game that was soft. There is a reason we know all of these officials’ names.

I did not expect us to match their pace.

 

[joevols89]

He was setting a tone. The T was bs.

You can't get 2 inches from someone's face and taunt them. Run past him and do it.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Especially in the land of current college basketball

The question for me is whether or not we can keep it up. We’re not exactly a great offense.

 

[Willy14]

Even with the Uros technical, this has been our best start all year

 

[Larkin]

Owaka impresses me

 

[jtipto10]

If you have a game to back it up. He doesn't

Eh, I get your point. But sometimes your team just needs a dude who's not gonna take people's crap. Even if he does it preemptively

 

[TheBigOne10]

Olivier!
