The Official #7 Tennessee @ #12 Missouri Game Thread, 9:00 PM ET, SEC Network

Not sure if serious. We are taking that Cuonzo D to the shed. Should be up more than we are.

no, I’m serious. We’re not up more than we are, even after having the refs swallow the whistle in the last 5. The fact that we’re scoring as much as we have against it is a credit to our squad.

 

[W.TN.Orange Blood]

Lmao...ONLY up 13.

That's what the score board says it is. We aren't up by 30 yet.

 

[chuckiepoo]

Agree, I did have a little higher hopes for Anosike, but he’s incredibly undersized height wise tonight, but he’s done well using his strength to defend. He’s not filling up the stat sheet but he’s not a liability on defense and he’s wearing down whoever he’s on.

BEEF!

 

[DC_Vol]

Who here misses Cuonzo ball?

 

[kcvols1]

Not sure if serious. We are taking that Cuonzo D to the shed. Should be up more than we are.

Also we’re playing pretty well on D ourselves. Good stuff.

 

[Johnnyreb#VFL]

Our mid range jumpers are a problem for opponents. Smooth as silk

 

[JoAllan]

Damn. Gotta love a Counzo team on D.

I miss Gene Keady when I watch his teams. Yeesh!

Got to love a Barnes team on D.

Missouri giving up 54%, and 5 offensive rebounds to their own 9 defensive rebounds.

Just because they play tight......don’t mean it’s amazing.

 

[LucidZ]

JJJ maybe doesn't have any points but has 3 assists. Only other person with an assist is Springer, with 1.

 

[cardvolfan]

,,and I didn't even take a little blue pill...

Agree, as long as Anosike hits the boards hard, physically pounds on the opponents big men and uses he 5 fouls, intelligently, he is giving UT want we need

Pound the rock!

 

[PandamoniumReigns]

TN is clearly in a different league than Mizzou based on the first half. Still a second half of terrible officiating to go though. Hopefully TN breaks their will and they never recover this season.

How soon before Cuonzo uses the Missouri University plane for "recruiting" and interviews somewhere else and bolts ?

 

[Freak]

Seems like our offense slowed down when we tried to force it inside to Fulk.

 

[volmoon]

Gotta like where we are with JJJ not scoring (I think) and Bailey struggling a bit ( although the walk call when he fed Fulky looked like a bad call to me). Pons playing his best half of the season. Heart skipped a beat when Fulky got injured

Horrible call.

So nice to watch a fun athletic event involving Tennessee.

Keep it up BasketVols!

 

[kcvols1]

Keep stroking!

TWSS!

 

[volfaninky]

Refs gotta stop bailing out their out of control pg in the lane with fouls

 

[I4Vols]

Nice half, our press a nice change but you can't tire your starters out, so some back off with subs. My biggest concern is not getting 3 fouls on Tillman. I think the announcers banged us for going inside unsuccessfully but missed the point that we were trying to get Tillman to foul. Maybe he did but didn't get called...
Game is not over by any stretch, if you think so replay Fulky's hand scare

 

[JoAllan]

I like watching defensive basketball.

well when teams have some kind of offense.

 

[Creeker]

JJJ - 0 points. Took only 1 shot. Maybe he's playing hurt?

Not sure he’s hurt. He has 3 of our 4 assists and 2 rebounds. This is just kind of him offensively right now. He can disappear scoring wise especially against a good defense. I still think he’s capable of much more, whether or not he ever realizes it though I don’t know.

Just wish he could hit those bunnies

 

[walkenvol]

What is Counzo’s offense? Spread the floor and hope your 6’ guards can drive the paint and hope the refs bail them out with a whistle?

 

[chuckiepoo]

Seems like our offense slowed down when we tried to force it inside to Fulk.

They need to continue to play free. Pretty sure CRB realizes this his at least one of his shots.

JJJ doesn’t really look to score. Most of the time we won’t even need him to. He does so many other things well like rebound and assists
