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

Run through Gainey the rest of the way and tell him to drive the ball and not settle for a 3.

 

[rocketskates]

Cmon Vols...dumb fouls.

I know. Don’t let them close the gap. I was hoping we’d win by 30+.

 

[Ernest T. Vol]

Just play D like hell until Chaz gets hot. That's the plan.

 

[99gator]

UF shooting 25% from the field and 13% from 3. That is abysmal.

Primarily, it's been good defense not bad shooting.

 

[patrick]

Let’s go Vols. Keep it up

 

[walkenvol]

Dang it Gainey - DON’t FOUL!!!!

Flashbacks of Kansas today.

Stifling defense will make the legs weary. Long open shots are tougher on tired legs

 

[Purplehaze26]

Keep them under 50

 

[Anti-shunshinepumper]

UF shooting 25% from the field and 13% from 3. That is abysmal.

Better or worse, we have to live by our defense. The way these guys played on the floor today, that effort, will keep us in just about any game.

UF shooting 25% from the field and 13% from 3. That is abysmal.

Pretty much like us in the first game against them. 48 point swing (at the moment).

 

[walkenvol]

And that’s why you don’t bring him back in for a game that ultimately doesn’t matter. Clayton should’ve stayed out this half.

It was a 3 point game at half?

Flashbacks of Kansas today.

It really is

 

[hUTch2002]

We can relate

For sure but they’re supposed to be a far superior offensive team. I really do love the grit of this team. I know we have struggles but I’m telling you right now we absolutely can make a run in March.

On a side note, Mizzou taking it to State up 14 at the half in Starkvegas. Pretty impressive so far. Can they finish the deal? That won’t be an easy next game.

 

[BernardKingGOAT]

Need at least 20 pt win

Yeah that's a bonus. W is all I care about

 

[Legion of Doom]

GBO! Great game by Vols!

 

[Chaz-Vol]

When vols play with maximum effort like this even when they're shooting isn't dropping like first half they at least have a shot.

 

[hUTch2002]

It was a 3 point game at half?

It was. To me it’s not worth possibly losing your best player for longer though. Doesn’t matter. He played, got hurt again. Is what it is.

 

[ttocswob]

SLAM by Chaz!!

 

[Big Orange Rock]

Man my son went today and was feeling bad for him at game time with ZZ and Igor out and then BAM!

 

[87&91ALUM]

Get up Vol fans! Lanier for Jam!

 

[volsarelife1]

Lanier drove and dunked it!!??

 

[tnvols72]

Just play ball and stop trying to slow it down Gainey is not that good of a ball handler like ZZ

 

[Anti-shunshinepumper]

Come on boys, let's hold them in the 40's!

 

[firestorm]

Florida losing by under 20 today is a moral victory.
