The Official #9 Tennessee @ LSU Game Thread, 4:00 PM ET, ESPN

[Caz]

Wish we could get some easy Buckets off offensive board play. We just don’t have this

 

[VolsSportsFan]

LSU is not very good.

 

[Putbacks]

LSU bigs allowed to climb our backs

 

[tdd]

Mushack can’t shoot. How was he a 4 star player?

 

[TheMookieMonster]

LSU hasn’t scored in 9 minutes until just then and it’s only a 5 point game. Really bad offense yet again.

 

[Switch 625]

Bench ORN

 

[Putbacks]

ON just disinterested this game…

 

[TooLegit2Quit]

Box out Nkamhoua!

 

[sportsnut624]

Orn two rushed shots then gives up an easy rebound. When He’s off he’s way off.

 

[Caz]

Do we teach damn rebounding???

 

[VolArmy74]

Just laying brick after brick right now. Not even bad shots. I don't know why we tend to either burn down the nets or miss 20 in a row with little in between.

 

[The Tall Gguy]

Looking bad. Again.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

We’ve pissed the lead and momentum away again. These offensive droughts are getting really old.

I love our Vols and no team is perfect, here are my thoughts before.

1. We Rely on too many threes and can’t make consistently
2. Foul trouble - too many bad fouls. Phillips is too athletic to keep off the floor so he must play smarter. Don’t make stupid fouls. I know it occurs but he is so athletic and rebounder.
3. Z and JJJ - need to drive and finish. Z gixes up height but I still think he can finish. JJJ not a slasher but we need a one of our guards to go to the rim.
4. TN will get better looks and imo start hitting more threes once Z , JJJ or even Vescovi drive and score a year drop or layup which will increase confidence from three
5. Post players - I can’t think of his name (freshman) but I’d like to see the freshman get more minutes over the others since Uros sick.
6. Key- have to get more from him. I expected more from him so maybe that is on me. ON he to hit the boards. Good gosh. And finish down low

 

[Vols till I fall]

Nkahmoua, man,

Get him out of here
I'm tired of defending him

Just let Freddie Buckets play

 

[VolunteerCeltic]

ON gonna shoot LSU back into this game

 

[RockyTop140]

Mushack can’t shoot. How was he a 4 star player?

Athleticism. Doesn’t have much offensive skill though.

 

[chuckb1448]

LSU bigs allowed to climb our backs

They certainly aren't calling it, I've seen it several times

 

[joevols89]

Just not good basketball right now. Should be up double digits.

 

[VOLINVONORE]

#13 needs to take a rest he alone can lose this game if he doesn’t get it going

 

[vol9799]

Orn two rushed shots then gives up an easy rebound. When He’s off he’s way off.

Liability on both ends of the court right now.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

It’s frustrating that we’re only up by 3 points right now. Not being able to get some separation and capitalize on a 9 minute scoring drought by the Tigers is going to be what makes this a close one all the way till the end.

 

[ColinS]

ON at the 5 is just not working. He doesn't rebound

 

[tdd]

LSU is not very good.

What does that say about us? We are just average at best. We never play a clean game. Bigs are not very good. We need to keep Phillips on the floor.

 

[wmcovol]

Team not “there” mentally.
