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

[sechamp2012]

We got this now TV timeout gave Barnes time to get them settled but don’t think we keep them under 50 which looked like a foregone conclusion earlier.

 

[VolGirl81]

17 pt lead-poof

Refs are only blowing the whistle one day and we stopped getting calls when we pushed to the rim. They went to the three because otherwise we were just getting hammered at the basket and turning it over.

 

[Hurley Mooncalf]

Way the game is being called helped Maryland get back in it. The refs are still calling this game all over the place. Both teams get hammered going inside and nothing is called. Then a hand poke gets called.

I blame on the poster who said I told you we would steam roll them never say nothing til the end

 

[Namorto1]

Hope we have a solid play out of this timeout.

 

[The Dog]

Really miss JJJ in this situation

Its early in the season. Team needs to learn how to respond to Maryland's momentum. They need to learn to calm themselves and not panic. Calling a timeout can heighten the panic. I don't see the need to defer to it when the other team is on a run.

 

[vols 30]

ON is 3/11
Phillips is 1/8
SV is 2/10
Key 1/5

 

[therealitytheory]

Phillips still hasn't been a factor. Now would be a good time to start..

 

[vol94]

We’re going to miss Chandler more than we thought.

Ball pressure gets to this team, including Z. Also suspect shooting w/o any type of offensive identity is a recipe for disaster - similar to last yr’s losses including Michigan.

There has to be one or two players on this team who can score inside or make intermediate jump shots. Idk the answer to handing full court pressure as that is simply guard play.
Go Vols!

 

[patrick]

Need to make some baskets. And need Phillips to get involved.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Man, Santi has had a few that looked good just not fall.

Great rebound by Phillips there.

Edit- case in point Z dribbles ball off foot and Vescovi w another three ball miss. Horrible shooting

 

[first time caller]

Come on Vols!!

 

[sechamp2012]

Sanyo got away with 1

 

[Caz]

We have not a damn soul that can hit a clutch shot tonight!

 

[TrumpedUpVol]

Key!!

 

[patrick]

Boom.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

Man this might be a hell of a choke if we don't pull this out.

 

[YankeeVol]

Got lucky there. He pushed him across

 

[Caz]

Oops Key!

 

[WillisWG]

Big 3

 

[YankeeVol]

Key!

Seems like we always tend to hit these cold spots where we cannot buy a shot. This is why we often get pushed out of tourney early. I think they try to play heavy defense to focus on mitigating these droughts but this has cost us often in March. The Michigan game last year was a great example.
