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

[G0V0LS33]

5 of 22 from behind the arc and 3 players in double figures thanks to other last shot. Wow. Just wow

 

[VolinMichigan]

Too little too late I’m afraid. I have no confidence whatsoever for this team to hit clutch free throws.

 

[LakeMaryFLVol]

Worst call of the game

 

[DocVol]

I have never posted in a basketball thread, but what an embarrassment. Tennessee is the biggest joke in college sports.

Deserved first BB post, IMO

 

[VFL1127]

Being a VFL is painful

 

[Rylee_Vol18]

Keon is projected top 10. I'll trust the experts

The experts said we were a potential final 4 team. I don't trust the experts.

 

[vols 30]

Keon and Springer will go on to be two of our highest draft picks in Tennessee basketball history, but the emotional state I am in right now also thinks they might be the two most overrated college players in Tennessee basketball history. They'll leave here without really making any impact on the program if we're honest.

JJJ says hold on a second. Don't forget about me

 

[BisonVol]

To me, I don’t think they’re NBA ready yet.

I don't disagree that they aren't ready to step in and be really good on day one, but the NBA drafts on potential. They see a lot of it in Springer and Johnson. They gone

He’s talking about NBA scouts

 

[Vols2015]

That should’ve been an and 1!

 

[SATX VOL]

Should of been a foul on them on offense for shove. Then should be an and 1.

 

[casetopia]

of course that same ref waves off the continuation.

 

[VolMarine1371]

At least Johnson and Vescovi hasn’t given up yet. But that foul on Johnson’s should be a shout plus 1

 

[Putbacks]

We just don’t have the refs to compete with these alliances going on right now

 

[Kicker82]

Should of started this way from the beginning of the game or even half. Not enough time now.

 

[ButchPlz]

How that is not a +1 is beyond me.

 

[alvinkamara]

Vols had zero energy for 36 minutes......OSU is an awful team in a bad conference.....BUT they had the energy, especially on D. Let's give Rick a raise and hope for better next year.....

 

[volinbama256]

Too little, too late... what a disappointing year for UT athletics.... AGAIN

 

[Enki_Amenra]

Hmm

 

[CAVPUT]

Then stop following them.

So easy to do

Not really. I've been following them since '65 and still haven't found the cure. Best I've come up with is to expect this sort of thing from UT. Kinda numbs me so I don't get as upset when it inevitably happens. Tenn Cup now and forever.

 

[rdk4121]

We missed Fulky pretty plainly. The emotional leader, plus a key offensive player for us. Yves then gets saddled with foul trouble the whole game.

It is what it is, I'm not particularly surprised given what we've done all year. We do need more of a true point guard, but Chandler is coming. Need a post presence as well.

 

[G0V0LS33]

If Barnes cannot see we need man he needs to look at the rebounding stats. Really sad

 

[VolMarine1371]

Officials going to miss a few calls. None of them are going to call a perfect game. Can’t shoot, too many turnovers and just look lazy. End of story

Officials surely missed the shove when we had the trap in the back court and missed the and 1 for sure. But they didn’t miss them on Pons though did they?

 

[ukvols]

That pearl game where they lost by 30?

Being blown out as a 5-seed trumps being blown out in an 8-9 game when the team knows the coach they like is getting fired.

They will definitely make the but they have alot of work on there jump shooting ability to play in NBA.
