The Official #7 Tennessee vs. Syracuse Game Thread, 2:30 PM ET, ESPN2

Aidoo has to find an extra gear on the offensive end of the floor or we won’t hit our ceiling.

i just don’t see that happening. I hope it does but i just can’t see it.

25.9 FG%

There's zero defense of that attempt. The fact that he's playing someone 7'4" made it worse.

So the fact the the defense can reach over half way up the back board doesnt effect anything...if that guy is.not 7'4 he doesn't get the ball

 

[RockyTop140]

Little out of control there knecht.

 

[Willy14]

Aidoo (1-6) shouldn’t has as many attempts as DK (3-6)

 

[GBO18]

We figgin to outclass them in the second half

Agree. Syracuse is not very good. Gotta make more shots though or they will hang around.

 

[RAVOL]

Need to finish this 4mns with the best mns of this half. Defense has picked up intensity but offense is not very good. Let's go Big Orange . In CHRIST Alone

 

[ColinS]

we're playing sloppy but holy S@#$@, are we getting slapped and mugged every time down the floor?

If your talking about our guys trying to go one on four then contact or not you are not getting that call.

 

[whodeycin85]

its difficult but you have to know that you cant attack with slow shots.. Floaters and quick layups.. which is not what JJJ did

No.but that ball was high enough on the glass that only 1 player could've.have gotten it that easily

 

[TJSVOLS]

a 7'2" player

Actually the announcer said he was 7’4”

 

[Creeker]

Amy of yall talking ish about JJJ ever played against a 7'4 player??

No, but did play against a 6’11 one and I knew I couldn’t slowly and softly try to finger roll it while he was in the middle of the paint. That was low IQ by JJJ.

 

[orbs son]

Missing free throws and open jumpers. If we start hitting some of those, we should be ok.

 

[KnoxtotheBoro20]

hate that they are shooting %50 from 3

 

[Caz]

They look pretty darn good right now. Playing is tough on defense

 

[Christian Lowe]

Nothing inside, even against air

 

[volsarelife1]

ZZ not looking good at all yet

 

[vavolfan6]

Sooo frustrating..

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Zeiglar…..buddy. Man…..

 

[KnoxtotheBoro20]

2 missed wide open layups now

 

[whodeycin85]

No, but I was never a 5th year 5-star

Safe to say other then gym and 2k your actual experience in competitive high level basketball is lacking

 

[Big Orange#1]

ZZ can't hit a layup goodness

 

[orangejuice]

Damn, how does he miss that

 

[hUTch2002]

Anyone not named Knecht or Gainey should be benched if they shoot.

 

[Big Orange#1]

Thank you Knecht

You go up strong in that situation. JJJ should have went strong with intent to dunk that. He was clear to the basket. The slow/soft shot allowed the beaten center to get back into the play. It was literally the only way he could have shot it that let the block happen.
