The Official #18 Tennessee @ #21 LSU Game Thread, 6:00 PM ET, ESPN2

[GBO18]

Man wish we would have won that Bama game.

The major problem is that TN is not a good shooting team (6-23 from 3 and 40% shooting overall today) and other teams in the SEC are.

And we are supposed to be a good shooting team, our whole offense (if you want to call it that) is shoot the 3. We have zero secondary options.

Fulky didn't take a single shot tonight

Because he isnt good

 

[Vol49er]

LSU fans yelling “ overrated”. Lol, it’s not like we are in the top 10

Yeah that was bizarre

 

[SalVolinus]

JJJ should not see the floor. Easily the most overrated player I can remember suiting up for the Vols.

This was the turd olive on the $#!+ sandwich that was my Saturday.

 

[Johnnyreb#VFL]

If UT didn’t have these just absolutely terrible offensive stretches, they would probably be undefeated right now

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

Are you calling yourself out lol

Yep

 

[vols 30]

I forgot how many experts we had in here. A lot of basketball coaches with no jobs.

No one is claiming to be a coach. Just people giving their opinions

It’s the Jeremy Pruitt offense of basketball

 

[UT_King]

Down 7 with 2 minutes to go, dribbles in place for 20 seconds.

Chandler walked the ball up when he should have pushed it, his free throws look rushed and he does not have a feel for leading this team. Does not look like a first round draft pick at all... but he is a five star so I guess we need to overlook his lack of experience and deficiencies and praise him at all times even though he turns the ball over twice as much as he assists...

 

[SouthKnoxVOL]

Will gladly invite you to a tailgate.

Nah...it's alright...I wouldn't want to humiliate you in front of your people.

 

[TJVol95]

15 missed free throws

All Rick! If he can’t coach them to shoot FREE throws he should quit!

 

[nomads-11]

Need a strong half court game......much stronger than I've seen.

 

[BreatheUT]

We had several players that were just anemic tonight.

I stick with my original statement. The only difference makers that can turn it up every game is ZIegler, Chandler and Vescovi. I'm not sure about the rest.

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

I mean i laughed

That was funny. And horrifyingly accurate.

 

[1985Vols]

It won’t this yr. Gotta get a few more guys not scared of the moment. SV & ZZ are about it. ON shows signs of getting tough.

This is a very “ soft” team. They cannot play with physical teams

Mashack needs the minutes…really good feeling about him..hustles great defense and actually seems to care

Rick, shouldn’t you be coaching instead of being on here?

 

[mr.checkerboards]

National writers agree this is a .500 record conference team.

 

[BisonVol]

I tell you what, it’s not a given that this team makes the tournament. I believe they will but the SEC is absolutely brutal this year. They better figure out how to put the ball in the basket. One thing is certain. I really thought this team had the pieces for a deep run but that isn’t happening. We won’t win a game in the tournament.

Okay, I get the frustration of losing the way we lost. We shot ourselves in the foot in a lot of ways and got out toughed. With that being said, I don't see how one can take away from this game that we might not even make the tournament. Jmo

Yep, that was bad
