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

[VolMarine1371]

Bailey just disappointing for 25 of the 27 games we have played.

He prolly wishes he would have stayed at Oregon at this point I imagine.

 

[LivinginthePast]

Need a point guard next year

 

[GBO18]

JJJ needs to work on his outside shot and he could be a complete player.

 

[chad954ut]

Here is my one gripe on coach this game. From the beginning we should have trapped this team. We never made them uncomfortable until final 8 mns by then we are down 20. In CHRIST Alone

Been like that all year long

 

[C-south]

I won’t knock the effort but it’s hard not to knock the low basketball IQ. A lot of that is coaching.

 

[Kicker82]

Fulk and Pons should come back after this mess as unfortunately this is how this season will be remembered. I'm also thinking Springer should come back.

 

[Power T-Rev]

Bailey and JJJ suck

You're completely wrong on JJJ. He does a little of everything. He's our best offensive rebounder and one of our best defenders

 

[VoLunTiTan7]

....... And everyone was thinking this would be a cakewalk for us..... we never seem to learn.

Watched an online show interview with Austin Price and Brent Hubbs and they spent most of the time talking about the 2nd Rd match up with Okla. St.

 

[DocVol]

We are all the dumbest people in America. Continuing to support and follow this trash program.

 

[CAVPUT]

Anyone think we will ever get an explanation for what happened to Yves Pons? Did a parent die just before game time? He has looked live he is in a completely different world all game. Several times the ball was headed right toward him and he was looking away.

Great athlete. Not much of a basketball player.

 

[Lizzard28]

Feels like the 8v9 michigan game 10 years ago when tobias was 1 and done. The team just did not care

 

[Sudden Impact]

Whelp this might be the worst Vol basketball game I've ever watched.

not quite they won a game against temple 11-6

 

[TrueOrange]

It's sad how true this is

Tennessee Athletics’ new motto:

“What a rough way to end it for Tennessee.”

 

[PEPPERJAX]

Well
Pounding beaver sounded good in theory.

 

[The Dog]

Effing embarrassing ! Barnes didn't have 'em ready to play. Hell, did we even scout this team, they absolutely abused our great defense. Ruins the whole effing Tournament for me. No, I only had UT winning 2 games, so it didn't destroy my bracket. I just thought we had more heart than this, if Oregon St beats us and played as well as they did, today, I tip my hat to 'em. But to completely get blown out from the start, I cannot effing stomach that. Barnes should be ashamed and take some blame for once. Now, our best 3 players are gone, at least, what a waste of that talent. I'm not depressed, I'm despondent

 

[JohnD13]

Nice pons. Good riddance.

Stupid post

 

[vol94]

We had so many chances today. Just can’t shoot and it’s very frustrating. I don’t understand why we don’t have any consistent outside shooters. A player can get hot or cold, but this entire team goes thru droughts most games.

No excuse for this loss imo but the sun will come up tomorrow.

Go Vols!

 

[DocVol]

I won’t knock the effort but it’s hard not to knock the low basketball IQ. A lot of that is coaching.

I will. Effort was 0.

 

[Delmar]

Oregon State has begged us to win this game today. They didn't even play that well. We just decided to stay in Knoxville. Like, where was this energy the last 3-4 minutes the ENTIRE game? Why did it take 36 minutes of game time for this energy to show up? How are you not playing with this passion from the tip????

Yep. Again , the Beavers have no business athletically being on the floor with UT. But in the Dance, if you don’t bring it from the start, an underdog will take your lunch money. And that’s what has happened today.

 

[chuckiepoo]

Dems some nice beaver bellies...

 

[TrueOrange]

Passed it into his teammate’s back.

 

[TennBravesFan]

Then stop following them.

So easy to do

Can’t do it. I enjoy being embarrassed too much!

 

[DarkAvenger]

How did they miss all those 3’s? No motion to rotate to get better looks. One on One street ball on perimeter. Biggest hot garbage Tournament game

What are you talking about? We missed multiple wide open looks this game. A minimum of 6-7 wide open looks.

 

[docholiday]

So let's get rid of him ....can't wait to not have a chance at going to the tournament again!! Yay!

It is not difficult to get to the tourney.

 

[BreatheUT]

As we are getting dusted off, Pons is playing like a freshman.

The whole thing is laughable.
