The Official #9 Tennessee @ Texas A&M Game Thread, 2:00 PM ET, ESPN2

[MoCo_Vol]

A&M got hot from 3, otherwise they’d be down by 15.

 

[DC_Vol]

We should be up by 20 - we seemed to go to sleep from 13 - 18 minute mark

 

[VolArmy74]

Jaden was about to trip on Buzz's feet, he needs to get off the court

I wish players would run into coaches on the court. Calipari is notorious for it. I'd instruct my players to run over them.

 

[RockyTopRiot]

Very confused on what has happened to our defense in the first half the past few games.

They only have 30 points...

 

[Catbone]

Without a doubt, 3 point defense is Rick Barnes achilles heel.

 

[Larkin]

Couple of lazy passes here and there but overall, I think we are in a good spot.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

A few of our guys like to camp too close to the paint & teams get open 3s from it.

 

[vols 30]

Tennessee gives up so many threes

Wide open 3s.

 

[Lankykong]

They only have 30 points...

Also shooting like 50% from 3, which is luck. NBA players don’t make 50% of their threes, even when open

 

[ColinS]

Grant never got calls either, seems Fulky had that torch passed to him.

He was only allowed about 25 free throws a game.

 

[Jravol78]

Mr and Mrs. Tubbs sighting for you Basilio listeners

 

[RAVOL]

Well allowed them to get back into this game letting them see it go through the net and it started with lazy inbound that gave Flagg confidence with easy 3 pointer. In CHRIST Alone

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

Mr and Mrs. Tubbs sighting for you Basilio listeners

Love it

 

[VolGee4]

A&M only shoots 29% from three. It will average out. Just don’t let them outrebound us by a ton.

 

[vols 30]

A&M got 5 points off of UTs lazy inbound passes. Hope that doesn't come back on us

 

[Namorto1]

We have a few players struggling with the physical play. We continue to hit perimeter shots, it will open up drives and we may live at FT line for a lot of the 2nd half. A&M is very physical, so if refs don’t swallow their whistles, go to the rim.

 

[Lankykong]

A&M only shoots 29% from three. It will average out. Just don’t let them outrebound us by a ton.

Exactly. They probably end at 40% or so

 

[VolforFootball]

So much for a blowout

 

[Jravol78]

Love it

They’re at every game !

 

[ndubvols]

Man EJ has to defend to the line, he’s bad to sag.

Ran into Keon earlier cause he just sagged off his guy.

That was intentional to give Keon more room to get through the screen. Keon was supposed to run through EJand his man.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

He was only allowed about 25 free throws a game.

Wrong, only averaged 6.4 FTA for his career.

People seem to think the Vanderbilt game where he had 25 was “the norm”.

Grant always got mugged, especially in league play. He should’ve averaged 8-10 attempts a game. And would have if he played for KY.

 

[chef3531]

Yeah, we gifted them 5 off of lazy inbound plays. Odds that gets brought up...oh, right about now in the locker room?

 

[VolforFootball]

Also shooting like 50% from 3, which is luck. NBA players don’t make 50% of their threes, even when open

We actually shot better from 3. 5-10 vs 6-14.

 

[VolBalls33]

Last game A&M had 5 3's and have 6 at the half. Wonder if that's the most they have had in a half this season. Flagg I don't think scored last game, of course against UT he is lights out from 3. Bailey UT leading scorer 0 at the half and still up 7, I will take it.

He got more superstar calls than anyone who ever played for us.
