The Official Tennessee vs. #6 Alabama Game Thread, 1:00 PM ET, ESPN

I can’t exactly remember that last game we played Bailey but I feel like we were behind the whole game it definitely felt like we were gonna lose pretty early. This game feels different. We feel up for this game.

 

[JonGrudensAgent]

Yeah....no thanks Phil.

I won't be trusting Hullco windows any time soon.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

nope. Barnes wants them to play fast.

Thats fine, but we have to be smarter. Bailey isnt good at finishing at the rim, Vescovi threw a dumb pass. KJ and JS should be the only two allowed to run it out.

nope. Barnes wants them to play fast.

Bama is too good defensively for us to score consistently in the half court. We have to run when we can

I agree we need to make better decisions at times but I like us playing fast. I swear it seems we’re playing faster without Fulky. I love Fulky but something seems different to me. Maybe not. To be fair, I didn’t get to watch the first half yesterday so maybe they just turned it up for the postseason. The team is definitely more focused.

I want us to play fast, agreed. But you can play fast and play smart at the same time. That first fast-break Bailey had he was at a 1v2 disadvantage. We were up 9. Get your guys down on the other end of the court and push it to double digits. Instead, turnover and a Bama 3-point play. 5 point swing.

They are playing “ for” Fulky. Intensity picked up after he got assaulted yesterday

Bailey is good, I think he has attention deficit however.. it comes and goes

 

[GBO18]

We gotta keep crashing the boards.

 

[DocVOLiday]

ORN in the game

 

[cobbwebb0710]

Gonna need some good minutes from Kumquat!
GBO!!

 

[mr.checkerboards]

I love it, the refs arent letting Bama get away with that little NBA push off

 

[TheMagnificantOne]

Keon has the dog in him today

Last several games

 

[Switch 625]

Good D by Uros there

 

[amaralfan1]

Judging by Twitter, the ESPN App isnt working for this game and people are very mad.

 

[Voltopia]

Mmmmmm, yes, flow forth, salty Alabama tears. Flow forth like your clear-out shoulder shoves.

 

[GBO18]

Some of these charges they have doing it all year.

 

[A-RodWiLks]

Olivier!!

 

[TrumpedUpVol]

Wow, what a roll for Vescovi!

 

[hUTch2002]

Did he really just say that about Ralph Sampson be Kelvin Sampson!? LOL!!!!!

One played in the 80s for a team that wasn’t being discussed. The other has been a coach for many years. Which one do you think makes sense? What a maroon!

 

[TheMookieMonster]

CHEF CURRY (Scovi)

 

[cobbwebb0710]

Dang Fulky’s eye is jacked up!
GBO!!

 

[aWhiteLoftonChism]

Bailey is definitely not a strong finisher. Another side note: Bailey is 5th on the team in minutes played but leads the team in FG attempts while being 6th in FG %. He needs to take better shots and finish layups.

 

[BreatheUT]

Petty was allowed to stick a knee into Pons.

 

[JonGrudensAgent]

What the hell Vescovi lmao

 

[TrumpedUpVol]

Nkamhoua shouldn't be calling for the ball if he's going to miss like that, but I do appreciate the confidence.
