The Official #7 Tennessee vs. #13 Maryland Game Thread, 4:30 PM ET, FS1

Does Barnes have a contract clause that pays him extra for unused timeouts?

Yes.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

And suddenly we're jacking up 3s when we hadn't been doing this all game...

Need to show some composure and finish this one out.

 

[hUTch2002]

We can’t score

Plus they’re getting to the rim without much resistance.

 

[JRVOL11]

this is ridiculous

 

[TrumpedUpVol]

Not sure why Willard would want a foul/timeout there, but also unclear why Barnes didn't.

 

[87&91ALUM]

45-41 7:00 commercial break. Cmon Rick, switch em up.

 

[SGMVols]

Loving this Maryland crowd energy. Listen at them roar.

Our fans really need to start traveling if we want to be taken as a serious basketball school. Every neutral site game feels like a road game if it’s not in Nashville.

 

[TheBigOne10]

What in the literal f*** are we doing?

 

[VolArmy74]

That may be the fastest I've ever seen a dominant performance just fall completely apart.

 

[cwbytruckers]

Yes.

We only have 2 left

 

[Lankykong]

I don’t understand why we decided to start trying to shoot 3s. This is not the game for that, this is the game for trash twos

 

[knoxvol52]

we have no closer I hate to say

 

[Switch 625]

Does Barnes have a contract clause that pays him extra for unused timeouts?

He thinks you can sell them back at retirement like unused vacation days.

 

[walkenvol]

Awaka needs more minutes after this game. There is no way around it

Give him ON’s minutes as he’s doing zero

 

[PlanetVolunteer]

That's on Barnes for just allowing everything to fall apart

Just horrific coaching not calling a timeout

Should have called it several minutes ago

When does not calling a timeout when the other team is killing you ever work out well for you?

I dont get it

 

[zaqhhh]

This would be perhaps the most out of nowhere collapse I’ve ever seen from UT Basketball.

The offense I’m used to being sporadic but our defense disappeared over that 3-4 mins

 

[Carolinavols]

Maybe go to a zone to make them shoot 3’s. They are attacking the rim now and getting back in the game.

 

[Lankykong]

Not sure why Willard would want a foul/timeout there, but also unclear why Barnes didn't.

He has a big dropoff after his top 5 players and they were getting winded, Barnes has 8 or 9 decent ones

 

[K-town Vol Fan]

We are using too much time to break the press. Getting into our offense with 15 seconds to shoot is messing up the timing.

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

Give him ON’s minutes as he’s doing zero

This... No show

 

[berryvol]

That may be the fastest I've ever seen a dominant performance just fall completely apart.

Guess you didn’t watch bama/Houston yesterday.

 

[JRVOL11]

we have to stop letting them speed us up

 

[87&91ALUM]

Well…that nice lead evaporated. We got breaks first half now refs helping Maryland. Vols gotta settle down.

 

[volsarelife1]

We only have 2 left

And they just went on a 12-0 run

 

[cwbytruckers]

They use so much energy on defense i think that affects their offense.
