The Official #8 Tennessee @ Arkansas Game Thread, 9:00 PM ET, ESPN2

[CornbreadVol]

I mean they are decent looks but they have been missing those type of shots all year

 

[Caz]

D on three needs work

Said it for years. We don’t close well on them in my opinion

 

[tnvols72]

How many games does TN has to watch other teams shoot lights out from the 3 before they change something up.

 

[Creeker]

I hate the let them shoot game plans. Got us waxed against A&M. Giving up multiple tonight, just don’t think it’s a great idea in todays game where everyone shoots the deep ball even if their % isn’t good.

every year our downfall on defense is guarding the 3 ball, i don’t get it

If ya don't close the middle most teams now drive like a psycho hoping to get a shot and foul. The 3 point line needs to be moved back

Either those or drive penetration with an easy kick out

 

[BigOrangeFanatic]

Really excited to see Arkansas do that thing where a bad team shoots uncharacteristically well from 3 because we came to town.

do you have the sports almanac?

 

[VOLinAL]

Not sure if we play soft beyond the three line because we fear them blowing by us but at this point I don’t care. I’d rather make them drive than have another team go all career night on us from the stripe.

Guard the perimeter and get beat inside.

Teams are far more locked in against ranked opponents than the bottom feeders. If we don’t tighten up the defense, any semi-open look is going to be drained. Defense has become non-existent lately.

So everyone is just going to be unconscious from 3 against us the rest of the year. Love it.

Sure looks that way. Hogs average 5 3s a game and make 3 in a row to start the game. A&M averaged 6 a game and made 7 of 9 out the gate. Go figure

ZZ trying to be cute

 

[TheBigOne10]

Jesus. Aidoo is so weak

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

So far we look like shhhhh

 

[FlVols]

Trying to play too cute boys. Dad gum get your heads straight

 

[BigOrangeFanatic]

This team...I don't know anymore. Just sloppy.

They’ve hit all 3 over ZZ and SV. You can’t convince me our short lead guards aren’t much easier to shoot over.

You’ve been out all year on us bro

[JRVOL11]

[FlVols]

Now get the points on the board Vols

 

[87&91ALUM]

We need every break we can get
