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

Wow. Bama actually got caught flat footed on the rebound.

Opposing coaches gonna love this game film

Yep, Bama has absolutely laid the blueprint out for how to beat us. Will have to see if we can adjust going forward. If Springer is out any extended period of time it’s not going to help.

 

[1985Vols]

For the love of God please hit these 3 FTs.

If Vescovi or Ailey don’t start hitting a few threes it’s going to be tough to make a comeback

 

[chuckb1448]

Killed us all night with the drive. Play zone?

I've been saying the same

 

[Voltopia]

It’s a miracle the officials haven’t called like five more fouls on Pons for daring to play defense.

 

[ColinS]

I'm sorry if you insecurities have you blaming the refs but we are flat out getting owned. Alabama can get any shot they want.

 

[Lankykong]

They were calling that a foul all game. Shocked Pons is allowed to get a block

 

[jarnol32]

Pons looks like a 15 year old playing on an 8ft goal with a bunch of ten year olds. He is blocking everything that goes in the paint.

Not sure too many teams can drain threes as good as Bama

James isn't good

He's too low impact. Jack of all trades but master of none. I remember his shot improving last year but he just seems to hesitant. Get in the lane or something.

Have you heard of Pons? He might have something to do with that. Pember/Nkamhoua ain’t getting it done on defense

If we get fouls on our 2 big men, we’re horrible.

 

[Doctrippin]

If they're so good at it, why did they lose 3 games

?

 

[GBO18]

We over help way too much on defense. That hurts when teams can make 3s consistently.

 

[RAVOL]

Game defined so far we hit a 3 then Pons makes great block we then run and have 2 wide open 3 miss stumble over each other Bama gets dunk .

Gotta have players to do it...Bama plays small ball.

 

[orange_glory]

Blame it on COVID.

I agree that the refs aren’t the main issue. I’ve seen games much more poorly officiated than this one. It looks like we’re finally starting to come alive and show some effort so maybe we can get back in this game.

Clearly this is their best shooting stretch of the year. Combine that with Pons foul trouble and Springer's injury then we are in trouble.

 

[GBO18]

Make these 3 free throws then go get a stop.

Wide open

Any team in the nation would be struggling if the opponent made this many 3’s

 

[chef3531]

If it's double digits at the 7 min mark it's party over. I was thinking this team tuned the noise out, but I think they've fallen for their own hype. Might be a good wake up call for them to get humbled.

 

[Bigorange123]

Blame it on COVID.

I was waiting on this

They’re seriously a team to watch come tourney time. No one will want to play them if they’re healthy. Petty can go for 30+ any night.

They didn’t need to in the first half. Spread us out on defense and pick on Fulkerson, Anosike, or ON 1 on 1 depending on which one of them is in the game.
