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

[LucidZ]

Can someone explain to Gainey that the dark lines on the side are illegal to step over? lol

To be fair, this court is kinda off to me. Seems the players are thrown off by it on both sides.

Edit: Those flowers are kinda distracting for me. lol

It’s a game thread. I’m talking about in the moment right now. Win or lose this game we’re still a great team. We just don’t look good right now.

You mean the same people you were criticizing in the first half of a game thread who were talking in the moment

 

[vavolfan6]

Our guys are still shooting outside the NBA 3pt line and not the actual 3pt line.

 

[therealitytheory]

Gainey has big feet.

 

[berryvol]

I’m wondering if the pro line being on the court is messing them up some. That’s a least 5 for both teams combined

Definitely think that’s playing a big part in it.

Estrella and the defense have been the story so far. That and Knecht saving our bacon on the offensive end.

That defense though - man, that’s a thing of beauty right now.

 

[TennVols12]

Lol

When you come to terms that 90% of the vocal posters in here only post to make themselves feel better, it’s actually quite funny.

Yup. And even a lot of Syracuse points have been well defended - they just hit tough shots.

 

[volsarelife1]

Aidoo got to go up much stronger

 

[Christian Lowe]

We have absolutely no inside presence at all

 

[DooleyOrangePants]

Aidoo has got to stop taking the ball to the floor, good lord man you have the wingspan of an actual airplane - use it!

Whatever, man. I wasn’t talking about the people in that thread, but what I was seeing on social media. Don’t really feel like arguing about this so if it makes you feel better I’ll just take an L.

 

[ndubvols]

I’m not sure aidoo can catch the ball unless he tips it first

 

[KnoxtotheBoro20]

Aidoo forgets that he is 7-foot

 

[StoneokeyVol]

I feel like our conditioning will win us this game. Syracuse seems to be slowing down some

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Good take by JJJ there.

We keep purposely stepping back behind the NBA three point line. Which I'm not even sure why they have an NBA three line on a court where NBA games don't take place.

 

[ColinS]

How can James not finish that shot?

 

[sportsnut624]

Wow we cannot make any fts

 

[volsarelife1]

Got to make those free throws

I’m in complete agreement with you. I was laughing at the quote from Eli Dimwitz after he shook hands with Heupel.

Yeah, I never liked seeing courts that do that. You see them every once in a while.

I don’t think he physically can.

 

[Christian Lowe]

Holy ****
