The Official #8 Tennessee vs. Texas Game Thread, 3:30 PM ET, ESPN

[Anti-shunshinepumper]

Igor is on the cusp of what we need out of the 4, but he just can't quite be consistent enough to allow us to play the stretch 4.

 

[Volizona]

Who is this dork announcing who clearly wants TX to win?

 

[Delmar]

Jay, Jay, Jay. “Hand to hand combat”

Does he ever let up on that?

 

[Creeker]

I hate listening to Bilas he should go call swimming events so he’s not so horrified by the carnage of SEC basketball.

 

[GBO18]

They are cooking Gainey on defense. Can’t guard his dude.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

Defense needs to be better

 

[Anti-shunshinepumper]

Shack a bit out of control on offense

 

[RockyTop140]

Mashack is pressing on O

 

[tnvols72]

Sorry this is pathetic.

 

[RockyTop140]

Gainey and Mashack with 2 of the worst looking shots I’ve seen back to back

 

[Anti-shunshinepumper]

WTF do we refuse to post anyone?
That passing around the arc is not where it is at, Rick.

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

Pathetic possession right there

 

[Vol737]

Bad possession. Had to get points there.

 

[Go47]

Shooting 27% from 3. They are shooting 50% from 3. That’s how they are keeping it close.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

What was that?

 

[OrangeInKy]

Jay, Jay, Jay. “Hand to hand combat”

Does he ever let up on that?

Nope

 

[Clad in Big Orange]

Looking like a short stay in Nashville

 

[tnvols72]

ZZ cant stay in the game long enough to help. Tx is begging Tenn to put them away

 

[VolsSportsFan]

Shooting 27% from 3. They are shooting 50% from 3. That’s how they are keeping it close.

We’re also giving them a lot of wide open looks.

Texas is taking what we give them. We are forcing up crap. A lot of that has to do with not having a great ball handler in whenever Z is out.

 

[Go47]

Shooting 27% from 3. They are shooting 50% from 3. That’s how they are keeping it close.

Game is similar to the Ole Miss game - we get up 6-7 points and then shoot bricks and have defensive breakdowns.

 

[therealitytheory]

Sorry this is pathetic.

ZZ out.

 

[Go47]

We’re also giving them a lot of wide open looks.

True.

 

[GUNTERSVOL]

They are tackling Lanier on most of his cuts. We are up to 30% of 50/50 calls.

 

[A-RodWiLks]

Bilas can choke on his hotdog at halftime
