The Official #7 Tennessee vs. UT Martin Game Thread, 4:00 PM ET, SEC Network+

Ugh come on.

 

[Vol49er]

Sloppy on offense but nice to see the defensive intensity still high vs an opponent like this the day before a holiday. Just need to box out better. Would also like to work on our offense down low in a game like this

 

[Vol49er]

He kicked his leg out, come on officials.

Yeah, that was not subtle

 

[MoCo_Vol]

That's a BS foul, dude kicked his foot and flopped.

 

[volfan__18]

offense doesn’t look great rn.

 

[kckempf]

Just now noticed, I posted this in the wrong game thread. I expect the Lady Vol's turnover rate to tick up and the turnover rate of their opponent to decrease considerably once they get into stiffer competition.

Their game against MTSU is a good indicator of how they will do against stronger teams. Lady Vols had by far the best offensive turnover rate that MTSU has allowed. It'll get tougher in the SEC but it does look like the Lady Vols take care of the ball this year. I think the perimeter shooting will be a problem from time to time though, and they really need to shoot a lot of them for the offense to work.

Horrible call on Mashack. That dude clearly kicked his leg out.

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

This is almost unwatchable right now

 

[Go47]

ugly basketball / ZZ has been non existent offensively for awhile now . . .

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

We can't buy a basket

 

[VolsSportsFan]

Okpara really has to get better around the rim with the ball.

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

ugly basketball

Very

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

No way we cover 37 pt spread

 

[87&91ALUM]

Phillips getting a lot of minutes. Estrella out with foot surgery.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Man Cade has the right attitude to play inside.

 

[87&91ALUM]

Very

Little brother UT Martin playing tough.

 

[87&91ALUM]

Lanier is good for Tennessee...stay healthy young man!

 

[MoCo_Vol]

They're getting tired.

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

My goodness Okpara

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

Very ugly half... We look ready for Thanksgiving lol

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Need Felix to be a bit quicker to react to double teams. A few times he's had a TO waiting on the second man to get to him.

 

[Vols All Day]

Okpara really has to get better around the rim with the ball.

Needs to quit bringing the ball down and be quicker with his decision making.

 

[Clad in Big Orange]

Not great but not awful, just ok.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

A very ho hum performance. Solid defense, offense ugly. A bit concerning how hard it has been for us to get the ball inside for 3 straight games now. We’re really relying on that outside shot.

 

[Go47]

My goodness Okpara

He looks extremely awkward on offense . . . Just very little I see he gives on offense outside of garbage baskets. Seems to be a good to average defender / rebounder.
