The Official #8 Tennessee vs. USC Upstate Game Thread, 5:00 PM ET, SEC Network

[Lankykong]

Need to find Fulk more. Half the time he has been fouled on the floor so his makes didn’t count

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

TN 2-10 from 3

 

[Creeker]

Well that was a lackluster start. Shooting isn’t there from deep so far. Not taking the best care of the ball. They have 5 steals. We are absolutely dominating on the glass, but other than that it’s pretty meh. Definitely, looking ahead it seems like. Suspect the halftime speech isn’t going to be fun.

 

[I4Vols]

Even Pons seems a bit off timing wise. Some ops near the basket but seems like he wasn't fully in tune with the pass, catch and shoot. Almost looks a bit under the weather

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Upstate over 40% from field & 3pt, gotta step it up a bit. Only got 6 TOs too, they are playing very efficiently so far.

We’ll stretch it out on them in the second half, don’t think they are deep enough to keep it up & I expect some other guys besides Bailey to start scoring.

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

Stats are pretty close except TN has 22 rebounds to 11 and SCUp has 4 3s to 2

 

[Vol49er]

Tired legs, ugly game. No worries, we'll get out of here with a 15 point sluggish win and turn our focus to the SEC

#FireBarnes.... amiright??

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Of course the first and likely only game I’ll see in person all season is also the worst lol. Figures.

Can’t say I’m surprised after 3 games in 6 days. Back to back 100 point games we were due for some shooting struggles and a let down.

 

[VolforFootball]

Ha, that looked like some lame move I would try on the playground, with my 8 yr old son!
GBO!!

Looked like my best effort

#FireBarnes.... amiright??

Not up by 100? No national championship yet? Fahhhrrrrrr his ass!!!!

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

TN’s 4 post players only have 8 shots. Vescovi and Bailey took 11.

Bailey took 7, Santi has been distributing already has 5 assists.

Bailey took 7 and Vescovi 4 on my stat feed.

 

[chuckiepoo]

We seem to be over passing a bit and settling too much for perimeter shots. Need to attack the rim more.

twss

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Keon forcing it a bit, 0-2 & 2 TOs with 2 fouls.

 

[chuckiepoo]

You could’ve made that shot. I would have said “even I could make that”, but it’s far more likely that anyone else here would have made it before I would.

Ever had Big Ed's Pizza in Oak Ridge?

A tad overrated imo, but good.

 

[chuckiepoo]

Get the ball to the basket

...in the basket.

 

[cardvolfan]

They needed this game after killing the last 3 teams. Let's them know what could happen at Mizzou. I'm sure an earful from Rick at the half.

 

[sccshortstop]

Keon forcing it a bit, 0-2 & 2 TOs with 2 fouls.

And two arse chewings!

 

[chuckiepoo]

A tad overrated imo, but good.

It's the Volunteer/ORHS atmosphere. Pizza? meh...

 

[1985Vols]

Good grief

 

[vol4eva]

Doo doo offense

 

[chuckiepoo]

Not much excuse for that, unless they ran a Tough Mudder yesterday that we don't know about.

...sounds very reasonable... the vets know tournament weekends. The newbs? Not so much.
