The Official #6 Tennessee @ Texas A&M Game Thread, 8:00 PM ET, ESPN

A half like that starts to prepare me as a fan for a tough loss.

 

[berryvol]

Same. Make it respectable at the very least. Losing this one isn’t a bad loss. Just need to avoid the bad taste that comes with a blowout.

Correct. Need to take some lessons away, but this is not a bad loss. If we win, it’s a fantastic win, especially with the hole we’ve dug ourselves.

Early exit from tournament also

 

[BreatheUT]

Hopefully they come out with at least a little effort in the 2nd half. That first half effort most seemed like they didn't even want to be playing. Can't have that, especially on the road

A championship level team at least has one run in them and plays with fire when challenged.

I feel like some of you all need reminding:

 

[Switch 625]

Why do people say this? In 40 basketball games, you will look bad sometimes. All teams do it.

Because this team is Jekyl and Hyde. Nothing makes sense. Play lights out one night then stink up the joint the next.

That’s wild. Doesn’t make this less frustrating. But college basketball this year has so much parody.

 

[Christian Lowe]

Early exit from tournament also

If they don’t make the sweet sixteen, they really failed this season. They should make it there, but I doubt they go further

 

[I4Vols]

The refs are definitely letting them play tonight but it’s looking fairly consistent both ways

I have been mildly surprised with this as well, although I thought ZZ was fouled at the end

 

[DooleyOrangePants]

I think it’s the opposite. I think they’re afraid of success and get in their own heads.

Could be. I just don’t know, very Jekyll and Hyde.

 

[VOLinAL]

You tell Knecht in the locker we need 30+ from him. Only way to get back in.

 

[Go47]

If memory serves we beat lsu by 20

We did. But that doesn’t mean we played well the second half. They out rebounded us 46-25 . . . And they had a massive lead down to 7 at one point because of extremely sloppy play. We looked bad in the second half of that game. And looked very sloppy the first half of this game.

 

[volz2wallz]

2nd half is our time...let's do this!! GBO!!

 

[cncchris33]

aTm promo commercial starts off with the words "We aren't weird, we just do things a little different..." over top of the images of yell leaders being thrown into a public fountain and then rising to lead cheers to a bunch of other students in soaking wet white uniforms.

No, you are weird. You really are.

Yeah, just come out and play ball. Show some heart. Maybe we don't make it all the way back but it will carry over to the next game.

Lots of top ten have lost to unranked this year.

I think you meant as a VOLS fan

Yep. Winning on the road has been tougher than ever this year. I don’t know were the parody came from. Not wrong, frustrating as hell, but gonna make March even more wild

 

[BallerVolFan]

First four minutes are important if we wanna win.

 

[Christian Lowe]

Based on that shot, not happening.

 

[ttocswob]

DK missing FT's...

 

[VolsSportsFan]
