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

[Vols2015]

Can that stop them from shooting 50% from 3’s?

It may, cause without a big man down low, we’re sagging in the paint to discourage them from getting it down there, leaves their 3 wide open!!!!!

 

[VolMarine1371]

Not having Fulky is really a killer

It really is. I thought it wouldn’t be as big originally, but looking at how we played since he’s been out I was wrong for sure.

 

[Voltopia]

The officials may not be why Tennessee is down 18, but they are definitely part of why Tennessee will stay down 18. That ticky-tack third on Pons, the no-call on Johnson, then another on Pons. We get it, guys, loud and clear. Message received.

 

[Orangeblooded615]

Gotta get within 10 before the clock hits 8 mins.

 

[cobbwebb0710]

they are shooting over 50% on 3s. Hard to beat anyone who has that hot of hand. We are shooting 13%.

They got hot from outside in the PAC10 tourney and I honestly didn’t think it would carry over.
GBO!!

 

[casetopia]

oh now the announcer is worried about a no call. cry me a river homer.

 

[Cdywolfe]

Miss an obvious foul call which leads to a 3 and Pons 4 fouls. Awesome.

 

[vol94]

TN CAN NOT SHOOT!

 

[GBO18]

Brick brick brick brick brick.

 

[Putbacks]

Over the back not called

 

[Pacer92]

No they're just bored

That’s made me smile for the first time in an hour and a half!

 

[PlanetVolunteer]

Just stop shooting 3's!!!!

 

[chuckiepoo]

James out with a turned ankle

 

[GBO18]

Tighten up that shoe young buck.

 

[NO SIR EEE]

Pons checked out mid season and you can tell by that shot of him on the bench, he still doesn’t give a ****

 

[vol94]

Lot of contact on both ends of the floor.
Must cut it to 10 by 8 min mark then 4 by 4 min mark. Then see if we can close it out

 

[marvin616]

I left work early for this.....

Shame on me.

 

[golfballs]

JJJ, take a seat my dude

 

[i2amavol]

Ouch. I don't want to see that again!

 

[vanillagorilla]

They know this isn't a best of 7 right?

 

[Skullbone]

Well this was a short tourney run this year. We probably won't be back for at least two or three years after this either. Back to normal.

 

[chuckiepoo]

Tape that mf''er...

 

[VEKZY]

JJJ the only player who has done much this game.

 

[Delmar]

Great point, except that ITS THE REFS FAULT!!

You cab still blane the refs we are down as much as we are. It could be closer. Pons could be playing more confidently if not having to be foul conscious. It affects the game. I never gained we should be winning!

It’s not the ref’s fault that we are stinking up the joint. Worst game UT has played this year and that is saying something.

 

[ButchPlz]

No call travel.
