The Official Tennessee @ Alabama Game Thread, 9:00pm ET, ESPN2

[bleedingTNorange]

We have to come out the gates strong. This team has a hard time recovering from a soft start.

And I think Bama will throw in the towel if the get down early

 

[MockingVol]

I don't have near the faith in CCM that I used to, but please please please let us win this game and go on a nice run to end the season.

I want something to be proud of, not mediocrity.

 

[Spartacavolus]

They usually have hard nosed defense. It stymied us last year. Anthony Grant may just have Cuonzo pegged.

they usually simply play a lot of zone and we don't know wtf to do about it. We've been a victim of our slow pace problems against them. Walk it up, pass it around, force it late in the clock. That's all we did the last time we played them.

FL mopping the floor w/ a&m.

Pastner outcoached by Larry Brown. Shocked.

Clearly, memphis has much more talent. I wonder what Larry Brown looks like in an orange jacket?

Cheer for Tennessee, be proud of your family.

Me too, their season is a wash and Anthony Grant is on the way out. I'm sure they are just waiting for an excuse to give up.

What makes it worse is they are a long team which cause all sorts of problems.

you just have to get up court faster against teams like Bama. If they have time to set up their D, its their advantage obviously. We tend to do that too often. Letting them set up then going into Stokes with his back to the basket late where a double team is easily set up is playing right into their hands.

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

We should be up 20

 

[7thgroupvolfan]

Tick tock..tick tock..

Like a 75 year old dude who won't be coaching in 5 years.

Funny, intentional or not.

 

[Mount LeConte]

This start time is killing me.

 

[volgrad500]

I'm way more excited about this game than I probably should be lol. It's a horrible Alabama team in early February, but feels like a big game.

Know what you mean. It's a huge game! It's games like this that kept us out of the dance last year.

In my head this just has the feeling of a bad loss and yet I still have been looking forward to it this whole day. Wtf
