No fouls here

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

4 for 9 free throws...

 

[volsarelife1]

This team is so bad at all aspects of shooting. Comically bad

 

[FlVols]

Ok 24-21 at half

 

[87&91ALUM]

Charge not called...we are ahead! Yay!

 

[volsarelife1]

It was extremely ugly. But I'll take being up 3 at the half

 

[BigOrangeD]

Looks like we have a chance. Better learn to shoot free throws better soon. May come down to that in the end.

This team is so bad at all aspects of shooting. Comically bad

But we are ahead of #5 Florida.

Did Igor not dress out today

Now we just to win one half with a 3 point spot

 

[hUTch2002]

Can’t ask for much better for the first half really. This team is maddening at times but it’s impossible not to love them. Their defense is legit.

 

[Pennheel]

Terrible at the stripe. At least win it in the paint.

 

[walkenvol]

Left 6 points at the free throw line and 10 points on missed rim shots. How many of us thought we’d have the half time lead?

 

[volsarelife1]

Horrible O

But up on #5 Florida

 

[vavolfan6]

The guy running point for Florida looks faster and a more dangerous threat getting to the hoop.

I bet the 2nd half plan for UF will be for him to get to the rim, draw fouls, and get to the FT line. Refs may try to even up foul count which is 9-5 in vols favor right now.

Keep Golden away from our cheerleaders.

He's already gotten a good look at them outside their dorm windows at midnight, last night.

 

[Kicker82]

Great defense and half all things considered…need Lanier to take over second half

 

[Lukusw]

Lol. We can't make 3s. Can't make layups. Can't make FTs. Currently winning. Classic Barnes game.

Playing with 7...
Oxygen needed in the locker room

 

[Anti-shunshinepumper]

Shooting just 29% but if we can keep them to 25% could be enough!

 

[RAVOL]

Defense and all out hustle has TN leading at half. Offense will have to be better in 2nd though can't score 23 and expect to win. Need 35 at minimum unless FL just does a no show. Dig deep Vols and believe. In CHRIST Alone

 

[Voljayton]

Both teams shooting 15% from 3. Sheesh. This is a real barn burner

 

[Anti-shunshinepumper]

But we are ahead of #5 Florida.

At this point we just have to win these ugly low scoring games. Our D is a large part of our offense , like it or not. They are playing lights out on D today

 

[Namorto1]

Amazingly, we can win this game. Our offense is anemic (again) but this defensive suffocating. Only having 3 turnovers in the 1st half was critical. Keep those to a minimum and make FTs and we could escape this. Just need enough offense to make it to the end.

Slow burn
