The Official #8 Tennessee vs. #5 Florida Game Thread, 12:00 PM ET, ESPN

[rocketskates]

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

We’re lucky too because we’ve pretty much committed to not letting them drive and relying on them not shooting well from the perimeter. So far, it’s working.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

Well we're winning but the key is how we come out in the 2nd Half. We were winning by 3 against UK.

 

[I4Vols]

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.

Other than our D... my favorite part of the 1st half is watching the Fla coach complain about everything. When his pt guard got hurt he got in the face of the ref complaining a flagrant... made them look at the review.... not even a common foul could have been called
He looks like the obnoxious dude who drank too much beer at a bar, gets in the face of some bigger dude and proceeds to get the holy sh*t knocked out of him

 

[GUNTERSVOL]

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.

Missed FT and bunnies and we are still in it. Amazing is right.

If their point is out, how do they adjust?

Our guards have done an amazing job WITH THE BALL.

He is the Shane Beamer of SEC basketball.

Is this the first team to 45 wins?

You must be expecting overtime.

 

[firestorm]

Tennessee can succeed with an ugly win to defeat Florida today.

 

[walkenvol]

Can somebody kill the power to TBA such they have to call the game now?

Too chickenshit for that imo. He’s the guy that yells something obnoxious from across the parking lot and then hightails it when you start walking towards him.

I’m not seeing this - looks like we’re manning up and playing tough D all over the court.

Have you heard this one... Three guys named Shane, Drink & Golden walk into a bar.... place your bets on which gets a busted lip first

He is not even close to the antics of Pearl and Calapari.....

Dude is quickly replacing the strong arsed offer guy at LSU.

Then where does the MSU crier stack up?

That's what I'm seeing

 

[FlVols]

Crap Gator player Clayton back

 

[therealitytheory]

Clayton back in the 2nd half. No surprise.

 

[Anti-shunshinepumper]

Nice cut Gainey! GREAT pass from Dubar!
