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

[Lankykong]

Keeping Pons on the bench is a mistake.

To be fair, they call fouls on him for jumping without contact

Guys are afraid of getting foul calls and allowing the blow by, and now we’re not even defending them at the 3 point line. Need to go back to the first half game plan. They weren’t shooting well

Getting smoked, step up or fold....

 

[Voltopia]

“The first time this year Tennessee is chasing on defense.” Oh jeez Jimmy, I wonder why that might be? Oh yeah I can’t imagine what would be the cause. “RTR?” Get that crap out of here.

 

[Berry4Heisman14]

Heard springer got hurt is he ok?

 

[JonGrudensAgent]

Well...at least I got some nice suitcases from Deal Dash

 

[Caz]

Overrated.

Prosperity kills TN programs! We read where we are no# 7

 

[panhandlevol]

Bama always wants it more and we still can’t guard the 3

 

[VolforFootball]

We need to sue so that they stop the count back when we were ahead!!!

 

[VolGee4]

How in the blue hell can the team look so good the other night and look this f'n pathetic?

This is more than just bad game, this is just straight bad.

Dude, we have a good team. There are 30 basketball games.

 

[Ernest T. Vol]

Keeping Pons on the bench is a mistake.

Make them shoot 3's over Pons. Foul out or sit, what's the difference?

 

[JonGrudensAgent]

Heard springer got hurt is he ok?

Out for the game

 

[chuckb1448]

Petty should be able to hit 3 point shots.... he has been shooting them it feels like for 8 years in Division 1

 

[GBO18]

In danger zone. Bama on fire.

 

[sportsnut624]

This game also shows you how important springer has been to our offense. He was our best player at attacking the rim off the bounce.

 

[chef3531]

Calm down. There's 15 mins left.

Yep, it'll be Bama by 25 the way we're defending, and I use that term loosely, the 3.

 

[orange_glory]

First game of the season I watch and I see this crap. I thought we were a basketball school.

 

[CAVPUT]

Time to head to the football forum. Maybe we've fired Pruitt. We could use something positive tonight.

 

[ndubvols]

Pons needs to be in the rest of the game or until he fouls out.

 

[K-town Vol Fan]

Bama is playing small ball and were leaving our bigs out there and its killing us on D. Need to adapt.

 

[BreatheUT]

These guys are bombing away with no fear or pressure of losing. Classic case of a team that finds the best rhythm of the season while we struggle to hit anything. Alabama proving they can make shots.

 

[GBO18]

Petty should be able to hit 3 point shots.... he has been shooting them it feels like for 8 years in Division 1

It really feels like he has been there forever.

 

[hUTch2002]

Overrated.

A little but not by much. We’re top 15. Just not playing like it right now.

 

[JRVOL11]

Should’ve known we were in trouble with springer not coming back

 

[Chris4Vols22]

It's basketball, it's a 12-point deficit, there are 15 mins left. Step back from the ledge.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

Calm down. There's 15 mins left.

Yes but you have to admit, they better get their sh** together pretty quickly.
