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

[Delmar]

They called that a jump ball...lmao

Actually glad they did. Because you know he would have missed both free throws.

 

[GiveHim6InSC]

Westwood One radio announcers said of Uros' tip in to end the half, "Two Ragin' Cajuns toppled over like bowling pins!"

Guess it happened without any physical contact.

They either ran into each other or did the Awbarn flop, because he was by himself

 

[Voldog1998]

I’d like a nice relaxing blowout in the second half.

 

[barney]

North Kentucky in a tight one with houston.

Maybe all the good teams will lose

 

[BruisedOrange]

Louisiana on track to score 48 for the game.

Sorry, but I'm not going to complain about our offense if we're doing that kind of job on the other end.

 

[Putbacks]

Speak up, Kellogg!

 

[I4Vols]

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

Thirty minus nineteen
It's not that hard...

ok, it is that hard

 

[Zues1]

No point guard. Best player on the bench basically the entire half.
Up by 11 on this Louisiana power house.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Honestly the turnovers were the biggest complaint of that half. Officiating is letting them play physically so hard to get it inside for good looks and with Santi on the bench they aren’t worried about anyone hitting outside shots.

Just hope the defense keeps playing this well in the second half and Santi can help get the offense going.

 

[#1volsfan]

Up yours, Adams!!!

Can't stand him. Worst official in america. And somehow that loser always gets us.

 

[DooleyOrangePants]

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

Crazy how that worked out. We went most of that half looking like we had never played a game on offense and then it just clicked out of the TV timeout.

It’s March Madnesss for sure.

 

[jbr82]

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

Fans who care......I’ll allow it

 

[vol94]

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

Lousiana has played poorly too and turned it over. But the second half will be different as I think we will see a dose of Brown and then kick outs w/ three point shooting.

Shack playing well. Uris has to play like he is 7’1 and not 6’6. Keep the ball over your head. He has strong hands so he can hold onto the ball.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

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

This is just dumb thinking.
You have a 5 on 4 advantage with a defense out of rotation. It was the right call.

 

[Caz]

Funny our two 5 stars have given us absolutely nothing.

 

[Namorto1]

Glad to be up 11 but we are playing like crap. At this point nothing would surprise me. We could very well go on a 20-minute scoring drought in the 2nd half and I wouldn't be surprised.

 

[volforlife15]

Hell of a half. Pour one out for all of us

 

[VolsSportsFan]

North Kentucky in a tight one with houston.

Maybe all the good teams will lose

Of course Auburn would benefit.

 

[DooleyOrangePants]

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

Yep. I just want them to take my bracket out back and end it like Ol’ Yeller.

 

[Voltopia]

"Charles Barkley, do you see anything in Louisiana's game that could help them come back in the second half?" Barkley: " ... no?"

 

[orange beard]

Phillips should have come in an uber so they could send him back home. One and done for him is a long way down the road!

 

[cwbytruckers]

Wish this game was closer so i could have went.

 

[Bollweevil]

This is just dumb thinking.
You have a 5 on 4 advantage with a defense out of rotation. It was the right call.

Whatever.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

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

No one is upset with the defense lol. Not one person. The defense has been elite tonight.

 

[Clad in Big Orange]

A game thread is a running commentary on specific moments in the game. Like watching at home with 15 friends. You aren’t going to hear much sunshine in a game as sloppy as that half.
