Playing second half like Pruitt gave half time speech

 

[A-RodWiLks]

He's good, but no where close to his rating. He's been a non factor way too many times in his short career. And he's not shown up tonight yet.

Thanks 30... this is basically what I meant

 

[peerless98]

We need a spark from someone to get us going.

 

[1985Vols]

Sorry but we don’t even look like a top 25 team tonight

 

[ButchPlz]

Not even playing defense.

Because if they do or cleanly block a shot it's a foul.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

Finally.

The nature of college basketball. You can lose on any given night. Not over yet but this doesn't change my personal opinion that we are a top 5 team in CFB and a legit FF contender with Springer. The officials hamstrung us early with their b.s. calls vs Pons. Add on the Springer injury and it's a recipe for a butt whooping.

I don’t think top 5 but we’re certainly good and capable of a FF. What worries me come March is our lack of ball handling skills and lack of experience. If you asked right now how far we make it I’d guess Sweet 16.

I thought Kansas looked flat today, but the Vols said "hold our beer and watch this"

 

[VolsSportsFan]

Lol.....bricked 2 open 3s then gave up a fast break dunk.

 

[marvin616]

Pond for 3 breaks the ice

 

[vavolfan6]

#13 is allowed to stick out his arm every time he drives to the basket..

Which 5 are clearly better?

 

[sportsnut624]

We have to hit one of those threes. Can’t win if you can’t hit open shots

 

[Creeker]

We have nothing on offense and if we don’t find something in that end in about 4 minutes then this is over.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

I thought Kansas looked flat today, but the Vols said "hold our beer and watch this"

At least that was to a top 10 team.

 

[hUTch2002]

Yeah, we’re going to get run out of here.

 

[nomads-11]

Well at some point this team was going to face adversity. Better early, than late.

 

[1985Vols]

We just aren’t the same team right now

 

[orange_glory]

At least we got baseball.

 

[marvin616]

Nobody cares about your flip phone

 

[BreatheUT]

Pons back in will help. We also need to pound Alabama.

 

[W.TN.Orange Blood]

Pond for 3 breaks the ice

LOL ...... Pond.

 

[ndubvols]

Damn Bailey or vescovi needed to hit that 3

 

[Bigorange123]

Can’t blame five on two break on refs?

 

[1985Vols]

I still say the rims at TBA seem very tight
