[vols 30]

Is this quite possibly the worst half of basketball played in the NCAA this season?

Is this quite possibly the worst half of basketball played in the NCAA this season?

We've scored at least two more points than we did Wednesday at half, so that's a plus. But combined, yeah, this is pretty awful.

 

[volsarelife1]

Neither team should feel good about that half.

 

[Vols till I fall]

Uros is his biggest enemy. We have seen instances where he uses his pure brute and owns other teams.

We have also sent him play soft as Charmaine toilet paper and look awful.

Mental

 

[VolunteerCeltic]

Couldn't draw up a better play than that

 

[TheMookieMonster]

I truly don’t understand our play design out of TOs this season. That can’t be what we wanted???

 

[GBO18]

ZZ better wake up in the 2nd half.

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

Hey Rick that stupid play hasn't worked all season from a timeout... Another wasted possession. This is stupid as hell.

 

[volforlife15]

I think we know why Barnes doesn’t call TO. He doesn’t know how to draw up a play

 

[Voltopia]

Well. That was certainly a half of basketball. Sort of. Kind of. I think.

 

[TheMagnificantOne]

This is a Cunzo offense

 

[Caz]

23 points in a half IS NOT GETTING IT DONE!

 

[Volstylexx]

Great bounce back. Could have easily folded after going down 8. Excited for the 2nd half.

 

[volsarelife1]

Both teams combined 2-20 on 3s

Nah at least Bama showed up for that one. This game both teams blow chunks.

Yeah my biggest criticism of Barnes has been out of timeout plays. We rarely get good shots in those situations. I would much rather just play it out and see what happens

 

[Caz]

Kevin O’Neil basketball

 

[Volstylexx]

23 points in a half IS NOT GETTING IT DONE!

technically, it is... but i get what you’re saying, you’d like to see more points. We all would.

 

[Vols till I fall]

I just want to know what happened to JJJ and Vescovi? They were unstoppable last year and this season they look like they have regressed.

I know they been hurt but shoot

 

[VolunteerCeltic]

Tennessee defense is great, but their offense needs to be at least average for them to win anything....so far it has regressed from start of season

 

[Clad in Big Orange]

I think our ranking just dropped 5 spots after that half.

 

[kell7517]

Neither team should feel good about that half.

Up by 4 and our 2 leading scores haven’t score yet. I feel good about it.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Auburn was 1-19 the final 15:23 of the first half and we are up 4.

We’re going to need to light up the nets this half to win. Absolutely no way Auburn does that again.

 

[BreatheUT]

Thrilled? I doubt they are thrilled with 19 points in a half

Auburn is the away team. 4 point deficit is a dead heat.

Looked like they were trying to run a set play to get a lob to Aidoo but auburn helped down. If that’s not there and ZZ doesn’t have a lane, gonna be a contested three.
