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

[sportsnut624]

He seems tired tonight. Our game was on Thursday, which doesn't make you feel better if that's the reason. You have to play a lot in tournament play. Maybe he's sick.

I felt like tonight was a great game for us to punt around the 10 minute mark and just let the end of bench play. Give zz, Vescovi and knecht essentially a day off in this long season.

Barnes the guy who doesn't call a timeout to stop runs.. Calls the timeout there

Wanted to chew Adams in front of everybody. Making a point for the next game that he calls.

We need to figure out our Bigs. Aidoo has slipped .

put the freshmen in!

 

[Bryan1]

The crowd has not given Texas AM a good look. Booing extremely obvious fouls on Texas AM, oooing and awing everytime a ball handler reversed his dribble for some reason, now that. Did the air ball chant with Z which I always hate but also I don’t even recall him airballing (I could be wrong about that one) Clearly not a basketball school

Probabaly on the last second shot of the first half.... should have been a foul called on that shot too!

 

[Switch 625]

Don't blame him. Vescovi JJJ and Gainey killed us

They literally did nothing

 

[MoCo_Vol]

For whatever reason A&M at home is a bad matchup

 

[AppStVol]

Gotta like Coach calling that TO and talking to the poor excuse for a ref

He should have chewed their ass an hour ago to get a tech

 

[hound dog hillbil]

Never got of the bus tonight.

Oh. Well that’s extremely stupid, it’s a last second half court heave! What morons

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

They literally did nothing

Yes absolutely nothing

 

[TennesseeFan07]

Probably will know this by the first media timeout. Evaluate Aidoo and James' energy level and go from there. This sets up as a game where Jonas gets bullied around. Hope I'm wrong.

This aged well.

They're a fringe tourney team. We just had a perfect storm of awful where everyone played bad.

seems to happen every year in crucial games. Hard to call it a perfect storm when it happens every year. And yes, this is a crucial game. With the tough schedule remaining we couldn’t afford to drop this one.

 

[I4Vols]

They just beat the living spit out of us, maybe they’re the smart ones?

We'll see, but hopefully not a smart chant since they need to come to The Arena Formerlly Known as TBA

 

[DC_Vol]

Majority of people agreed this was going to be a tough game and yet most are acting like A&M
is butt trash. They shot lights out in the 1st half and it carried them into the 2nd half.

We got drug. Looked unprepared and afraid. It was a bad game for us…not just a great performance by A&M.

 

[Voltopia]

I wonder if Barnes practices them too hard, They looked gassed the last 3 games

That's what sports writers in Austin said, for years.

 

[D3Athlete]

A&M hitting 11 threes is just comedy honestly

Seems to happen a lot.

I agree, to win the SEC regular season, we had to have this one.

 

[hatingbamaisawayoflife]

Weak effort.

 

[Volnbeers]

2 wins tops in the tourney. Same **** different year.

 

[volsarelife1]

Got a feeling this is a game we'll need Vescovi to show up at least act interested in shooting the ball. Instead of doing roughly 9,764,231 pump fakes. Think we'll see him hit three or four 3s tonight

Damn what an idiot this guy was. We instead got his 9,764,231 pump fakes

 

[hatingbamaisawayoflife]

Seems to happen a lot.

Yeah this excuse old

 

[BreatheUT]

This team is a final 4 caliber team. It has an elite ceiling. Just gotta get their.

I disagree.

 

[GBO18]

We got drug. Looked unprepared and afraid. It was a bad game for us…not just a great performance by A&M.

A&M shot out of their minds from 3 and we didn’t. The usual suspects disappeared when needed but that is nothing new.

 

[Just a VolinTears]

Some of these games coming up just got a lot more important
