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

Sloppy so far m, quit turning it over and we’ll be fine

 

[berryvol]

We look very uninspired. Extremely disappointing to see us come out like this, hope the guys wake up.

 

[05_never_again]

Cuse has way more energy than we do.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Zone defense gave us a lot of trouble last year, too. And it’s looking like we still haven’t figured out how to break it.

 

[sportsnut624]

This lineup is better. We need to spread them out more. Too many bodies in the paint early to start the game. Get them outside and drive the ball

 

[DooleyOrangePants]

Knecht is just a smart player all around. Knew exactly what to do to get that whistle and didn’t hesitate.

 

[Berry4Heisman14]

Knecht should touch the ball every possession

 

[Clad in Big Orange]

We…..look terrible.

Probably need to temper expectations which got way over hyped

 

[turdherder11]

Sloppy, getting beat with the drive and kick out.

 

[whodeycin85]

DK that's what we need baby. Great Job!!

 

[ttocswob]

Jet lag or tail wag?

Better clean it up, or an early exit...

 

[KnoxtotheBoro20]

looks like our shooters are not catching the ball ready to shoot or drive either, giving the defense time to stop the dribble drive

 

[Clad in Big Orange]

We…..look terrible.

 

[PKT_VOL]

We are very lucky not to be down by 10.

Thankfully, they can't shoot free throws.

 

[RAVOL]

Cuse has way more energy than we do.

Very accurate. In CHRIST Alone

We play 3 games no matter what

 

[VolAce]

Anyone else notice they scored the last Cuse bucket a 3 when he shot inside the line? 12:26 mark.

 

[Caz]

Syracuse driving and kicking it out. We seem to be struggling to get any good shots.
Need more from SV now.

 

[volfan__18]

Honestly we need DK to be more assertive. We are best when we play through him.

 

[OrangeBeachVol]

And I hurried home to watch this. Bummer

 

[DooleyOrangePants]

That’s exactly right. We are tentative and without a plan on the offensive end, at least early.

Knecht taking the team on his shoulders and calming them down should help.

 

[KnoxRealtorVOL]

We aren't standing on business at all right now

 

[Clad in Big Orange]

We aren't standing on business at all right now

LOL

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Jesus some of you all are fairweather as HELL...

OK I don't follow to closely, at least this early. Thanx.
