The Official #8 Tennessee vs. Tarleton State Game Thread, 6:30 PM ET, SEC Network+

[Caz]

What’s happening is Barnes is playing guys who don’t deserve to take playing time from others. Let your best players find their groove and let these freshmen earn experience in practice.

I think he’s gotten in Knechts head too

 

[Grude_Awakening]

Nobody can say anything positive about this game. With a straight face at least

I’m plenty of the kool-aid pumpers will. Hey we won by 7! That’s all you can expect out of a top 10 team before Christmas! They are just thing about being home with their family!

Finally an Offensive foul called

 

[volmoon]

Vescovi with a foul shot

 

[Switch 625]

Aidoo ain’t right. Soft as pudding.

He’s been getting abused in the paint all night.

 

[The Dog]

We are still pulling the line -22.5. Well over halfway, there.

Dumba$$

 

[Namorto1]

This is really pathetic basketball letting this team hang in the game with us. We too often play to the level of our competition. 13 pts in the 2nd half in 16 minutes is ugly.

 

[zaqhhh]

13 points in 16 minutes is anemic even by Barnes offense standards

 

[Grude_Awakening]

I think he’s gotten in Knechts head too

Of course he has, what offensive player hasn’t he F’d up?

 

[tnvols72]

wtf is wrong with Knecht?

I think the better competition is more than he expected and is struggling with it

 

[G0V0LS33]

Time for Barnes to send a lesson. Get back in the top 10 and we’ll decide to think these teams will roll over for them.

 

[Butch s]

This is like 2nd half ga southern game

 

[VolFreakJosh]

Of course he has, what offensive player hasn’t he F’d up?

Your troll game is weak bro.

 

[Go47]

16% in the second half . . .

 

[Grude_Awakening]

This team is not playing well right now

Lettuce is green.

 

[SlyStone]

Yep. Son came back last Friday. We were going to go back down tonight for the game but half the family is dealing with Covid and the other half is just getting over the flu.

Get well!

 

[Clad in Big Orange]

wtf is wrong with Knecht?

That is THE question. He’s the key to the season.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Honestly the most frustrating part is the rebounding.

Have to get better effort on the glass by everyone.

 

[DooleyOrangePants]

I think he’s gotten in Knechts head too

It’s an interesting thought. He has not looked like himself in a minute.

Part of it is the scouting report is out on him and teams are defending him differently. But that only accounts for a piece of it, not the full picture.

 

[G0V0LS33]

Gainey got hammered there

 

[Grude_Awakening]

Your troll game is weak bro.

Your Kool-aid game is weak bro. Bring on something worth it, you can’t argue that this has been pathetic yet you try so hard too

 

[JoeMiltonsAgent]

6/11 3 pt shooting in the first half.

2/14 3 pt shooting in the second half.

Why they don't run on these guys and pound it inside is beyond me.

 

[tnvols72]

2/14 in 2nd half for 3s but they still jack them up

 

[87&91ALUM]

Nice layup by Gainey

 

[DooleyOrangePants]

Get well!

Appreciate it. Hopefully everyone is well by Christmas.

Hopefully all of VolNation stays healthy and safe and is able to enjoy the holidays.
