The Official #6 Tennessee vs. LSU Game Thread, 7:00 PM ET, SEC Network

[berryvol]

Another blown lead by CRB which has become his MO. I'll say it again, Barnes is NOT a great game day coach,. And his assistants don't stay on the players arses to keep them motivated. Jeez play some friggin defense!!!!

This is impressively dumb. Maybe worst post of the night.

 

[Namorto1]

Knecht the leading rebounder with 7.

And 6 assists, and 2 steals and 3 blocks. Nice all-around game. Zeigler had another very impressive game. Gainey made buckets.

 

[VolsAgainstTheWorld15]

Some good, some bad tonight. Take the win and understand that we can’t afford to 1)fall asleep for a six minute stretch and 2) rebound the ball so poorly if we expect to win at A&M on Saturday.

Gimme a minute.

Just like the Kentucky game.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

That might have been DK’s most complete game.

27 points, 7 rebounds, 6 assists, 3 blocks & 2 steals

 

[JCP201]

Pulling back out to 20 kind of proves we just quit for a while but that's human nature after playing a dang near perfect first half

We all just laughing and eating our snacks. Players lost focus--it happens. Still won by 20.

Yeah not maybe...it is

10 pts, 6 rbs, 4 ast....JJJ, Vescovi and Awaka combined tonight.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

That stretch with ZZ, Santi, JJJ, & Aidoo all on bench was when LSU had the biggest run.

I don’t mind Carr getting minutes, but LSU cut it close quick with him missing shots & them hitting theirs.

 

[volplaya8]

Easy work tonight…standard protocol for the mighty Vols…much tougher game on Saturday with a similar game to Miss St. and South Carolina…time to show we can win a game like this and cement ourselves back inside the top 5

If we don’t get shock collars on these kids, I’m resigning as a fan.

Barnes did what fans had been asking for, getting bench minutes in a blowout, and it unfortunately backfired spectacularly for a few minutes. Guess it just shows why the starters stay in so long.

 

[Sea Ray]

17 offensive rebounds for LSU. That’s the biggest reason we’re having to sweat out this last 3:54. Clean up missed shots and we’re up 20

I guess they took your advice...

 

[MoCo_Vol]

10 pts, 6 rbs, 4 ast....JJJ, Vescovi and Awaka combined tonight.

4-6 shooting though…can’t have 8 players all go off every night man.

DK, Gainey & ZZ nearly outscored LSU on their own with 62.

ZZ is definitely one of the great point guards in this country. He has to rest, but it can't be long.

 

[FlVols]

Knecht the leading rebounder with 7.

Knecht leads in very many categories in my book! Such a hot basketball player!!

A couple of misses by Carr shouldn't take everyone else out of the game. Carr was 0-3 in 2 minutes of action. Vescovi was 1-3 plus 2 turnovers in 21 minutes. The team let off the gas in the second half and lost momentum. It wasn't all because of Carr. We missed FTs and got killed on the boards.

 

[bleedingTNorange]

Perfect setup for a letdown game. This one might be tougher than expected.

Your takes continue to impress of late…

-Knecht overrated and being overprasied by fans.

-Trade Carr & Dillione for JJJ & Santi.

-LSU being a touch game.


What else am I missing?!

CAVPUT's consistency?....and a spell checker?

How many did we win by again? 2, no wait IT WAS 20. Every game has runs, the good teams AND coaches respond well to the pressure.

Can’t wait for your next take lol, you’re on a heater!

 

[Ttucke11]

Knecht with 27 points, 7 boards, 6 assists, 3 blocks, 2 steals and only 2 turnovers. SEC PoY stats, imo

It's not even a competition. UK mentioning Reeves is frankly insulting to Knecht.
