The Official #7 Tennessee vs. Alabama Game Thread, 6:00 PM ET, ESPN2

[GeneralsHuntBears]

Just god awful. Literally could lose to anyone else and I wouldn't care as much smfh

Agreed. I would rather lose to Kentucky than these guys.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Lol "offense is pretty good"... just stop

You obviously don’t know anything, good to know.

 

[C/O]

Pons and Springer both missed a HUGE part of that half. We are fine.

 

[vols 30]

Nobody is hot on offense. Didn't feed Fulky enough.

 

[JCP201]

Don't understand what happened with Barnes and the T and is Springer okay? These announcers aren't very informative.

 

[gainesvol82]

I expect us to come out pissed in the 2nd half. BS officiating.

 

[TennVols12]

Time to stop reading the press about yourself and show up the second half.

Who did that?

 

[hatingbamaisawayoflife]

We have to stop the drive

 

[VOLnVANDYland]

You obviously don’t know anything, good to know.

Great counter point! Very convincing

 

[W.TN.Orange Blood]

Even though we're the #7 team in the country, the refs are treating us like were some rec league team that rolled in. We cant get a call and we get clean blocks and get called for a foul. It's horrible officiating.

Referees are condition to allow Alabama to be the favorite in all sports.

Hopefully Springer can return.

 

[aWhiteLoftonChism]

How the hell do you get a T during a timeout, Barnes?

This isn’t an unusual occurrence. It’s very common for coach to call a TO to voice his opinions

 

[chuckiepoo]

Our shooting has been awful. Some is Alabama's D, but many were just bricks. And the FT shooting as well.

That's the one stat from the first half that stands out as the difference.

 

[VolGee4]

Switches and cant stay in front of ball handlers, blow byes to the rim have frikin killed us.......

We have played good defense. We are pushing them off 3 line, which they normally shoot a lot. Just need better offense and a better officiated game.

 

[amaralfan1]

Yves Pons not being there to clean up the boards on offense really impacts or offense. Odd a guy who averages 1 foul a game has two within the first few minutes.

Except Bama called the TO.

 

[VolunteerCeltic]

Got to stop the dribble drive, Bama has stayed with their gsme plan and UT has not adjusted. Pons, Vescovi and Springer be back in 2nd half.

Pember needs to go up strong with those offensive rebounds!

Also, use the damn backboard

Apparently during the timeout Barnes was chewing out the refs and got a T.

Springer twisted his ankle according to announcers. No statement on whether he will return

 

[ColinS]

Weird substitution pattern by Barnes. I think he saw the weak effort and was sending a message.

 

[WhenUrVolUrVFL]

We need someone with editing skills to watch a Tennessee game and tally up all the missed calls/bad calls. It’s egregious.

We need update on Springer though

They need to keep their composure. Business as usual. Keep locking down on defense and the offense will come.

 

[berryvol]

Not to be too negative but I fear we will lose this one. We always play like shxt vs Bama, with the exception of the last 15 minutes of the 2020 game.

Yeah, same here. Does anybody know what was going on?
