The Official #8 Tennessee vs. Saint Joseph's Game Thread, 6:00 PM ET, SEC Network

Christmas star might be out. I saw it about 30 minutes ago but I think it’s hiding behind some clouds at my location right now. Off to the right and lower than the moon.

It can see it over Houston. Clear as a bell.

Giving up 33 in the first half ain’t going to cut it...CRB will be tough in practice tomorrow

I’d love to have seen them score less; however Tennessee did hold them to 38% shooting and 31% on 3’s.

Tennessee also out rebounded them and forced 12 turnovers.

They are 0-4......but tend to score. This was tied for the least points they have scored in any first half this season.

We’d all like to see better.......but it’s been pretty good so far......and a 23 point half lead.

Need to start playing for a charge everything Daly keeps driving to the basket

 

[chuckiepoo]

I saw a little shove with the elbow on that Vescovi foul...

 

[LSG410EC83]

How do they not call on guy punching Fulky in the chest right in front of the refs.

 

[BruisedOrange]

Refs are calling every little thing....foul fest on both teams

That's a good experience to have, early in the season and against a lesser opponent. Gotta learn what the refs are calling in each game.

Also good prep for Rupp myopia.

 

[Creeker]

Refs are letting them lower the their shoulder and push off the the arm every single drive to the basket.

 

[ColinS]

St Joes was struggling with basketball so they switched to hand to hand combat.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Zebras sure are calling it tight tonight.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Saint Joe’s is lazy & sloppy. No clue why they are getting so chippy, except for the fact we’re whipping their ass.

They are jumping into our guys on every drive. Come on refs. That’s an offensive foul.

Whether you're playing agin' 5 or 8, ya still gotta beat 'em!

Let’s be honest, good prep for basically all of SEC play. 40 foul games are the norm

@minor vol_Stay beyond the quote brackets!

Nicely visible from Chattanooga in the southern sky. Don't think it's the real Christmas star, though.
As the scriptures say, "Can anything good come out of Georgia?"

 

[VolsAgainstTheWorld15]

Officiating in this game has been questionable at best. Lot of fouls have been called that weren't fouls, and a lot of actual fouls haven't been called.

Side note: We ought to be looking to draw a charge every time Daly puts the ball on the floor because that dude is a bull in a china shop.

 

[vavolfan6]

Why do the refs abd St Joe's players keep talking with Fulky

 

[ALStateLineVol]

Refs are letting them lower the their shoulder and push off the the arm every single drive to the basket.

exactly what I was thinking. St. Joe players are lowering their shoulder and initiating contact when driving to the basket.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

These officials are trying to make this game as un-fun to watch as possible. Geez. Swallow the whistle.

Some of those games last year it was comical how often they blew their whistles. Like 9 out of 10 trips.

 

[vavolfan6]

We ate losing the 2nd half....not good

 

[Lankykong]

Def not gonna hold them under 60

Chill. There's 12:00 to go and we're up by 22. Can't win by 50 points every game.

Not to mention there are so many fouls St. Joe's might be without their entire starting five in just a minute or two.

 

[omghulkhands]

Sr. Joe’s looks gassed. Wonder if they aren’t well conditioned or if it’s more us
