The Official #7 Tennessee vs. #1 Kansas Game Thread, 2:30 PM ET, ESPN

Over the back?

 

[SouthKnoxVOL]

Lmao...that wasn't over the back?

 

[johnboyhunter]

It was 24-17 us and now it's 34-28 them. Not good.

And it’s 32-35 , ebbs and flows of the game

 

[Voljayton]

There we go V!!!

 

[VolunteerCeltic]

Back to back games against the top 2 teams in the country might not have ever happened on consecutive days. We're competing with both and clearly belong in this group. We're not overrated.

There is a difference between competing with the top two teams in the country and beating them. If they beat Kansas today, they should stay in top 10, if they lose, they drop to 12/13. Scoring droughts are still an issue with this team, which tells me it isn't the players but the offensive system. Losing to a 2nd ranked team in a row shows they are a bit overrated at this time.

Good d under the basket

 

[johnboyhunter]

[Voljayton]

Aidoo! I've talked trash about ya but that was a good block and at a GREAT time.

 

[ttocswob]

35-35 half
Great to see Santi making threes.

 

[VolunteerVandiver]

Vescothree showed up today!

 

[GBO18]

Game has so much better flow when refs stay out of the game.

 

[Switch 625]

Gainey got fouled on that last shot

 

[RavinDave]

Good to see Santiago finding the range

Those are open shots. The system is doing its job

 

[Kicker82]

Vescovi single handledly carried the team to a tie at half. Hope the other guys step up in the second.

Lmao....you're clueless

 

[RAVOL]

Way to finish this half Vols. We have the depth let's push the pace on defense and offense 2nd half. In CHRIST Alone

 

[Volfan2012]

Got it down to 20 hopefully we shoot the lights out in the second half and win by 15.

 

[sportsnut624]

I’ll take that half. A little sloppy at times but that’s going to happen with this caliber of a game

 

[Tenacjim]

Much better Vescovi today compared to last night

He plays like this last night, we aren’t even playing in this game…

 

[walkenvol]

Please, please, please let this be Vescovi for the rest of the year!

 

[Devo182]

Bill Self looks like he's just waiting to get back to the beach and have more mai tais

 

[Namorto1]

Well, we are shooting 35% and Kansas is shooting 48% and are tied. We have to be more efficient offensively. If we can't score in halfcourt we need to push tempo off defensive rebounds.

 

[DooleyOrangePants]

Biggest story for me is Vescovi finding his stroke and watching his confidence take off. That's huge for us.

Defense did its job, for the most part. Offense is still trying to find its legs and an identity.

Officiating has been better than last night, but still not great.
