The Official #2 Tennessee vs. #15 Colgate NCAA Tournament Game Thread, 2:45 PM ET, CBS

I don't wear contacts, but i don't think I've ever seen someone struggle like that for that long.

seems like when the game was almost over, he recovered quite a bit. May have been psychological?

They also said something about his Dad had to tell him something at halftime? I thought that was odd

I don't wear contacts, but i don't think I've ever seen someone struggle like that for that long.

I'm wondering if he got hit or scratched in one of his eyes or something like that. I've had one of my eyes get irritated to the point that my contact won't "fit" anymore and it dries up, and I have to take both out. It's annoying and makes it very hard to get anything done.

Surely Iowa won't shoot the three as well as they did. That one kid made ten I think.

Everybody shoots the 3 like that against us....damn near everyone, so I expect much the same on Sunday as we got today.

This would have been such a disappointment for this team if we would have lost. Great game plan and shooting from Colgate. But in the end, our guys, who have transformed and built our program back up deserve more. Keep moving on Tenn! We have a favorable path being paved for us..just need to stick with what got us to this point!

 

[VOLstuckinKY2]

He must have been pretty much blind without them. I can relate, without contacts or glasses the world looks like a big blur to me.

And if he got his eye scratched...may as be pouring gasoline in the eye.....

We're "Surviving" too often. Eventually we will lose to an inferior team. We need to play every game like it's the NCAA Championship.

The 3 point shooting doesn't concern me as much as us not getting it done on offense. If we didn't go in scoring droughts and hadn't stopped working it inside, we would have been ok the whole game. We seem to panic on offense and give in to trying to match 3s.

On to the next

You ain't kidding.

Yep

Kinda my thoughts. Our play on offense worries me more than a team getting hot from three.

Did Holly Warlick help with this game plan?

Seems like we have said that after 75% of our games........

I have a couple times -- if they were hard contacts then its much worse - his age though he should get Lasik

I really do not understand why every TN possession does not involve Grant Williams with the ball at the elbow or in the post.

Teams are going to take him away. It's easier when Grant seems lethargic and not into it. I'd zone us, too. I'd collapse down low and dare UT's guards to shoot the 3. It's the guide to beating us and we'll see it a lot from this point on. Colgate just didn't have the horses to pull off the upset. Then again if they don't lose their best player, we'd likely be packing for home right now. From this point forward, any team we play will have the ability to take us to the woodshed. I do not expect us to beat Iowa.

Did Holly Warlick help with this game plan?

No because we won

 

[W.TN.Orange Blood]

31 is our record. Need to advance to e8 to set record.

When & what year was that done?

 

[dono]

So a Kentucky fan on my fb claims grant flipped off that burns kids on camera. I didn’t see anything?

We will never reach "Peak Kentucky". Those brainstems have a remarkable talent in outdoing their best dumbassery.

They’re clearly still bitter we owned their asses this year

 

[hUTch2002]

Iowa shoots 22 3s a gale and hits 36.1%, 89th in the country. Colgate averaged 23 but is 10th in the country in percentage.

 

[zaqhhh]

When was that done? Before you & I were born at the turn of last century?

2007-2008

We've not had that consistency. This one might wake us up, but I really don't expect it.

Did Holly Warlick help with this game plan?

Not quite, we didn't lose.
