Stokes needs to play smart in 2nd half. McBee and Tatum need to wake up.

 

[GLDunlap]

Damn the was the worst 25 seconds in defensive history and bama didn't score. It's going to be our day afterall

 

[orbs son]

Glad Martin didn't put stokes back in and played it safe the rest of the first half. These refs are calling this game way too tight for these 2 teams.

 

[VolMaster14]

Not just charter, comcast and btes to

Oh, well :finger3: all of them then!!

 

[Jax_Vol]

"Please bear with us, the problem will soon be corrected."

:finger3: you charter!!!

Really, you do not want to heard Kyle Macy and this other guy on the game. Turn down the TV sound and fire up the Vols radio network. That is the way to go on this one

 

[underscore]

I think he might of cracked the backboard with that one

At least he went up strong. Really strong.

 

[SpringBokVol]

I would rather be down at the half than up by 20.

Need to play hard in the second half and close them out.

 

[PennVol]

Score?

 

[lylsmorr]

It's big for the Vols to only be down 4

 

[OrangeBalls]

Bama is outrebounding UT 20-12. They have 9 offensive boards.

Need Stokes in there to get some boards. That's the difference in the game so far.

Yeah, put the beer away.

Take it to them in the second half.

You should edit this post quickly.

I meant the poster who said he would rather be down than up by 20.

I totally get what he is saying. I would rather be a little down than up big enough that you lose sight of a dangerous team.

 

[BeecherVol]

Is Hall done?

Not quite sure if I comprehend your thinking process on this one.

I know, but ya made me sad.

 

[fall2hb86]

I am glad we are only down 4 at half...we didn't play well at all, and we play hard on defense, so we can easily win this one...

I certainly want to let CCM coach this team because i think we are better than we should be, so hate to question...BUT..I don't care how hard that Cam works in practice or whatever, because his positives in any game (maybe beside the game before this), are easily overtaken by his negatives..If he was a redshirt freshman i could deal with it, but he is in his 5th year at UT...He shooting those 3's like he hasn't been in a shooting slump all year, and as always, a turnover about to happen...When he fouled out 2 games ago, i thought our team was finally at its best...sorry, but how i feel

I agree, this team tends to go soft and loses focus when they are up quite a bit.
