The Official #6 Tennessee @ Vanderbilt Game Thread, 3:30 PM ET, SEC Network

[KnoxtotheBoro20]

And Florida is a very good team. An NCAA tournament team.

and so are we lol you should never get just embarrassed like that with no fight for an entire 40 minutes

 

[WhenUrVolUrVFL]

We were playing fine until Vandy started playing illegal defense EVERYWHERE and frustrating our guys. I swear Gainey is gonna end up knocking out #3 and it could have been prevented if the refs enforced the rules of basketball.

#22 for Vandy also might start a fight.

If we're being honest I think most of us know we're a little overrated. If we play big can still probably beat anyone tho

We aren't playing to our potential, but this Vandy team is underrated and we are playing in their gym.

 

[KnoxtotheBoro20]

I just know that locker room talk is brutal

 

[CornbreadVol]

just win each 4 minute segment. We are more talented and I like us in a close game late

What is illegal D?

 

[Anti-shunshinepumper]

I think Barnes can excel at 2nd half adjustments

He's played them all and in different rotations. It's going to up to the players to make the adjustments this 2nd half.....i.e wake up and quit sucking

 

[orangemadam]

But Vandy got a bunch of away from the ball fouls on ZZ and Cade and that got them in the bonus early. We have made 6 free throws they are 12 of 14. There's your lead. So yes it made a huge difference.

they aren't fouling 3 pt shooters like we are

Illegal defense? Tell me more.

******* poverty gym against a poverty program. Wake the eff up guys!

Vanderbilt, it ain’t poverty… a bit miserly, perhaps.

 

[I4Vols]

I’m at the game and believe it or not every time I see us play at Vandy I get treated worse than I do at literally any other school: it’s outrageous

Did anyone offer you a job?

 

[TartanTurff]

Chaz and Igor need to learn how not to make a turnover when they actually possess, pass or dribble the ball, Chaz's game has come completely undone once the SEC season started, his skill set lacks a lot and there is a reason he was not playing in the SEC before this season, having g to play around those wholesale deficiencies

he gets away with everything esp the elbowing

 

[gule]

mashak's lack of an offensive game killed Tn's mojo in the 1st half, imho

 

[vavolfan6]

I think the key is to stay in front of #1. I expect Barnes to try aa few things to speed him up and make him uncomfortable.

 

[orangemadam]

I would say coach should leave ZZ in longer in first half, but he may have
the school record for fouling 3 pt shooters also. (blue font)

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

they aren't fouling 3 pt shooters like we are

No but they got 5 foul calls 40 feet away which got them into the bonus

 

[ttocswob]

Milc to the line

 

[Majors]

That number 30 is a punk. That absolutely should have been a flagrant foul on that dunk attempt from Gainey awhile back. He didn't go for the ball, he just jumped and threw his shoulder into Gainey while he was in the air.

Reason he has 4 fouls

 

[ttocswob]

Milc!!! Three bomb!!!

 

[patrick]

Let’s go Vols.

Milk man for 3.

Ty Igor

 

[Voltopia]

Zeigler in foul trouble on the road is a recipe for disaster.

We're a different team when he isn't on the floor.

No matter what happens in this game, the book on Tennessee this March will be to attack Zeigler at every opportunity. Get him out of the game and Tennessee will struggle (excepting games like Illinois).

Tennessee’s got two months to figure it out - inasmuch as they can, anyway.

 

[Lukusw]

Too bad this Igor guy who is no good keeps making plays for us.

 

[KnoxtotheBoro20]

We just arent guarding the damn white boy shooter
