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

[MoCo_Vol]

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

Found the Wildcats fan...

I am a big Barnes supporter, but I disagree with the defensive philosophy of over helping to choke off the paint, conceding more 3s. Just don't think it's the analytical approach.
But I think we'll be fine in this game

 

[ndubvols]

Olivier looking more decisive on offense. Good to see, even if it was just catch and shoot/dunk plays.

 

[Lankykong]

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

Ours will regress too

The reason the game is closer than it seems is because of the rebounding difference and points on turnovers, I would say.

 

[VolforFootball]

Ours will regress too

Very likely

 

[Vol49er]

I was hoping their fouls would put more of their guys in foul trouble, but one dude (15) has four and a bunch of others have just 1. JJJ has 2 for us

I don’t think that’s Barnes philosophy though, I think some of our players just tend to sag inside. Reason I say that is of the 5 on court there seems to usually be only 1 or 2 that sag consistently.

Bring back Buzz Peterson!

I'm glad to see him handling the passes. At one point he struggled with the catch and gather, let alone the finish.

He only played 3 years and finished 3rd in UT history for free throws attempted.

I know that doesn’t necessarily correlate with getting mugged (you can shoot a bunch of free throws and still be fouled on plays you don’t get the call)

But I’d personally never argue he didn’t get his fair share of foul shots.

SCOVI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

3Scovi!!

 

[USAFgolferVol]

We shoot much better on the road

Found the Wildcats fan...

Never cared much for Villanova

Lol. No way.

 

[Lankykong]

Fulk played good defense there. Wish he had gone faster on offense

 

[omghulkhands]

I think I’m gonna go bump the posts from the clown in the Alabama game thread who whole heartedly believed Vescovi was a D-III player at best

 

[1985Vols]

Fulky is taking a beating

 

[chuckiepoo]

Very nice defense to start the second half.

 

[Lankykong]

That was a kinda weak foul on A&M on the Vescovi play, but he did take Vescovi off his balance

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

They’re at every game !

They sometimes go to different games same day! Crazy.. Must be loaded

 

[RAVOL]

Nice start guys. Keep focused though. In CHRIST Alone

People tend to overreact to basketball moments way more than they should. I'm sure I'm guilty of it too sometimes. But he did take it to a ridiculous level.

 

[Bigorange123]

His 3rd foul call in that game should be in the refs guidebook for not making a call from across the court with a bad angle and just letting the other ref handle it.

I concur

 

[The Dog]

Springer is just so strong, especially for a freshman, going to the basket
