The Official #4 Tennessee vs. #13 Louisiana NCAA Tournament Game Thread, 9:40 PM ET, CBS

[JohnD13]

Neither one are very good basketball players

Geez we have some really stupid fans

 

[Rockytoprowdy]

Finished the half well. Eliminate the unforced turnovers and get Vescovi back in the game and we should be able to stretch this one out.

 

[GiveHim6InSC]

Up yours, Adams!!!

 

[vol94]

Awaka looks lost and can only score off of offensive rebounds

Then keep Uros in. If Uros can keep the ball higher up the then he can pass out of double teams instead of the guards surrounding him like a chihuahua. Aidoo seems lost to me.

 

[Volstylexx]

I dont have the IQ to assess how TN is up 11 in a game this ugly but I'll take it.

Good coaching adjustments by Barnes. The move to the zone threw ULL out of rhythm. Scheming the ball down low to our bigs while Santi is on the bench. Really well coached down the stretch there.

 

[RAVOL]

Maybe there is something about starting Uros. Just kind of gives us a spark from the jump.

Our record was its best all year. In CHRIST Alone

 

[YankeeVol]

 

[TheMookieMonster]

We had a 7 minute scoring drought and Vescovi played 5 minutes and we’re up 11. Pretty wild.

 

[TheBigOne10]

Glad they didn’t call a foul on Uros. 34% from the line doesn’t give me confidence lol.

 

[JCP201]

Plavsic made me laugh. Our defense is great-- hope when Vescovi comes in we will blow this thing open. I hope.

 

[walkenvol]

So JJJ, SV, and Phillips have combined for six points in the first half and we’re up by 11. Maybe I should quit hollering at the tv? Go VOLS!

 

[Delmar]

We should be Pounding the Paint, small team. What will we do Saturday if we make it

If we turn the ball over 20 times against Duke, we won’t even have to discuss it.

 

[kell7517]

This team is the most Jekyll and Hyde team ever.

Same can be said with quite a few posters on here as well.

 

[knoxvol52]

Funny as hell you guys acting like the world is coming to an end that team is on pace for less than 40 points .as for Phillips I hope he comes back balls out and shuts you people the hell up

 

[vavolfan6]

Hopefully we stop the silly turnovers when Vescovi gets back I'm the game. That stretch was hard to watch

 

[landscapingvol]

why does it seem like we're behind?
Credit to Shack and Uros. Aidoo played well too.

They came to play! James is either still hurt or already checked out

 

[Creeker]

Mashack and Aidoo had strong first half’s. Uros did some good things, and Key is at least aggressive. Everyone else either looks lost or scared. Really disappointing half for JJJ and ON. I’ll throw Phillips in there too, he is shell shocked by the physicality in this one.

 

[VolFreakJosh]

Geez we have some really stupid fans

That’s an understatement

 

[Butch s]

Geez we have some really stupid fans

Apparently if you think they’re good. You sir are our king

 

[wmcovol]

Thank goodness he decided to get Uros & ON late. La can’t handle them I’d Brown is out.

 

[LordVOLdemort]

Geez man. They could pull off Uros's shoe and toss it down the court and it'd be a jump ball somehow.

Offensive foul, purposely kicking off shoe… “imitates kicked ball gesture”

 

[Bollweevil]

Nah it was fine. Louisiana was scrambling one guy was trailing behind the play, it ws 4 on 5.
I'm not a Barnes guy but it was fine to let them play on. You call TO and they get to set their defense.

Have you been watching this offense? They need all the direction they can get. Thankfully it worked out.

 

[VolGee4]

we just held a tournament team to 19 points and our fan base does nothing but complain.
Yes, it was ugly and yes, we should be up by more but outside of the TOs, we haven't played that poorly

Missed open shots. Turn it over 5 less times and we would have 36+.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

I appreciate that you all let me word vomit in this thread. My emotions are at an all time high in March all year.

 

[JoeMiltonsAgent]

I hope the Norse of Northern KY upset Houston tonight so I can stop wasting time looking at my bracket.
