NCAA First Round: The Official #5 Tennessee vs. #12 Oregon State Game Thread, 4:30 ET, TNT

[TheMookieMonster]

Lol. We like to trash Mike White on here a lot, but he is now most likely going to the Sweet 16 (I am assuming ORU can't keep this up for two games) and will be 7-3 in the NCAAT. We no longer have a leg to stand one in that conversation.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

We'll see.

Deficit is manageable, but ugly. Game will come down to hitting shots. We need at least 5 threes in the second half to come back.

 

[VolBalls33]

A 3 and that lay up at the end. At least some momentum and we couldn't play worse. Maybe it's reverse. Up 15 or 17 on Bama and lost. Came back on UF as well down big. This isn't over yet.

 

[Valencia]

Oral Roberts wins! What a great win. I love Oral.

uhhhh... D you appear to be relatively new here...gender & age, please?

 

[Border Vol]

Oral and The Beavers on fire . Vols with wooden I don’t call timeouts coach pi$$ing away another opportunity

Oral and the Beavers would be something to see

 

[DarkAvenger]

Plavsic is tits on a bull, offensively. How can you be 7' tall and have no way to score 3 feet from the rim?

It’s apparent that the first two years are geared more to defense development. He’s light years better defensively but the negligence of offensive development is terrible.

 

[BowlBrother85]

Tennessee shot 8-31 and was outrebounded 25-16. Somehow, only being down 14 feels fortunate... and like we still have a chance.

 

[VolArmy74]

So, I've been watching. What is the score?! 33-19?

I guess it's just me, but I never know.

You must have something out of adjustment. Maybe the TV is zoomed in? The score is on the bottom the whole game.

At least ESPN thinks we are like ORU!

ROMAN SILVA?? We have allowed 10 points to a guy whose feet haven’t left the floor yet. Double his game average. One would think that’s a guy that Uros could hold his own with but I guess not. If he can’t guard a slow, non-athletic 7 footer, why is he on the team?

 

[Hallie]

We can't score in the half court .. 2 assist .. if we don't run we have no shot ..

 

[wmcovol]

The Oregon St coach has done an outstanding job taking away the driving lanes. He knows a lot more about Tennessee than Tennessee appears to know about them. Every Tennessee player is getting outplayed.

Hopefully the 2nd half changes.

 

[DarkAvenger]

Ok, yeah, agree that Kevin Steele thing was insane. I thought you meant a buyout for Pruitt.

No, just all the money spent as a result of his firing.

 

[orangejuice]

It ain’t over unless we keep that crap up. Our WBB team would be up on us right now.

 

[KB5252]

Their big man is good.

He averages 5 points a game. I think our having zero inside presence is making him look good. He's mediocre.

 

[RAVOL]

Second half we need to speed this game up. They have 2 athletic players rest pedestrian. But in the end players have to make shots. You can blame Barnes all you want but these players have to take it upon themselves to make things happen like making shots.

 

[GBO18]

We CANT shoot that poorly again can we?

 

[LakeMaryFLVol]

Oral Roberts wins! What a great win. I love Oral.

I can’t wait for the at least we aren’t Ohio State threads

At least we are not Ohio State

 

[sechamp2012]

49 Our lowest point total this year in loss to Florida is in jeopardy we are on pace for a 66- to 38 beat down.

 

[Zues1]

It’s apparent that the first two years are geared more to defense development. He’s light years better defensively but the negligence of offensive development is terrible.

Maybe Barnes needs to hire an offensive coordinator.

 

[Enki_Amenra]

We need to come out with some rock solid D to take care of these Beavers.

 

[Vols2015]

What are we doing?

 

[zeppelin128]

Just tuning in after work. Should have stayed at work.

A lot of disappointed people after tuning in.

 

[orangejuice]

I think we were better game 1 than we are now. Feels like we got worse.
