The Official #9 Tennessee vs. Arkansas Game Thread, 7:00 PM ET, ESPN2

[1985Vols]

My biggest issue isn't even with our poor shooting. I'm a little puzzled at what has happened to our defense. I know the level of competition has picked up, but this defense looks nothing like the first 7 games.

Has CRB beaten them down?

 

[BalledUPfists]

Yes, a zone will help us make baskets.

You clearly don’t know basketball man. We are getting sliced up on defense. You really don’t see it!?

 

[joevol33]

Saw Maria Taylor on the commercial, that helps

 

[tnvols72]

Those 100 point games was fools gold. From the start of the year the offense was not that good at shooting

 

[sechamp2012]

The rotation is looking like early season non conference. Think Barnes is still experimenting/looking for a good combination. Would have been good to have had the exhibition and complete pre season.

Compared to last game? We are not getting sliced up. Yet.

 

[VOLinAL]

People have said otherwise this season, but I'd put money on it that the Grant, Schofield, Bone team boat races this team. Shooting is this teams weakness.

 

[Pacer92]

We look completely lost on offense. I don't get it. So much talent on this roster, I'm just not sure what the issue is right now.

Identity...true creator on the offensive end that can facilitate..

 

[BalledUPfists]

We were playing teams that were LITERALLY 0-8, 0-6, etc. that makes a difference.

 

[Rylee_Vol18]

Our offense is ATROCIOUS.

 

[Franklin Pierce]

Getting out rebounded 15 to 5.

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

I know enough that it would be idiotic to go away from the defensive system that is worked on every day.

 

[chuckiepoo]

Getting out rebounded 15 to 5.

I see you Mr. Pierce...

 

[dono]

Announcers talking about everything but the d--- game! Gotta go Bob and Bert.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Getting out rebounded 15 to 5.

I attribute a lot of that to Fulky. He has looked abysmal to start the year. He's not playing aggressive and he's not getting good shots either. We need him playing like 2019-2020 Fulky if we want to make the final four.

 

[TrumpedUpVol]

How did Springer miss that absolute bunny?

 

[JRVOL11]

That ankle

 

[Switch 625]

Another damn missed layup!

 

[Bigorange123]

Bailey take the wheel

 

[FranklinVFL]

Missing layups = lack of mental focus

 

[orangejuice]

Sure would be nice if we could get back to average at 3.

 

[tnvols72]

We were playing teams that were LITERALLY 0-8, 0-6, etc. that makes a difference.

The heck you say.

 

[ndubvols]

Springer can’t jump on his ankle.

 

[JRVOL11]

Then don’t get back on defense side open 3

 

[orangejuice]

And now we are missing free throws again. Man killing me.
