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

[GBO18]

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.

Check that math again.

Santi has got to revise his thinking. He can’t get fouls fighting inside guys for rebounds. Especially in the first half. Vols have no chance if he’s out. Zip.

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

Same. I’ve never understood why people get upset at the raw emotions in the game threads. Sure takes are irrational most of the time but it’s heat of the moment so who cares

 

[Caculator]

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.

Aidoo lost? Come on man

 

[GAVol]

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

It’s a weird thing to criticize in that situation.

 

[Allvols98]

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

Careful with what you wish for. Lol

 

[GBO18]

Brown is obviously going to get his points just don’t let anybody else get hot. Should pull away in the 2nd half. Hopefully.

 

[TAZVOL75]

Nice end to the half. I’m sure the Negas are furious!

I am furious, how does a D1 basketball team have a 5th grade level offense? Absolutely unacceptable. I rarely post but I just don’t understand how game after game we cannot figure out how to score, I don’t get it

 

[DC_Vol]

I just don’t understand why we won’t feed the bugs first.

 

[VolFreakJosh]

It’s mostly the Fahr Barnes crowd who keep spewing their nonsense in this thread

 

[TheMookieMonster]

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.

Exactly this. I say things in this thread I would never say when reflecting on a game. I treat it like watching a game with a bunch of close friends. I just say whatever comes to my mind even if it makes no sense.

Chuck Barkley can't stop eating even while he's talking.

More like on track for 38 (2x19).

Lol. Math not your strong suit? JK.

Yep, offense is terrible.

Exactly. Game threads are reactionary play by play. Don’t like most of the posts? Team must not be playing well.

 

[Bollweevil]

It’s a weird thing to criticize in that situation.

Let's watch the rest of this tournament and see what other coaches do in this situation.

 

[wmcovol]

Aidoo lost? Come on man

Aidoo has played good D but he isn’t comfortable in a post up game & Vols need that tonight against Brown. Brown doesn’t appear to want to play a lot of D

 

[Zues1]

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

That would be great, but he's a deer in headlights this season.

 

[Real Info]

Chuck Barkley can't stop eating even while he's talking.

I thought he was having a stroke lol

 

[marvin616]

Good to be here at half time with all y'all. I'm up past my bedtime.

Between the bickering die hards,

It's great to be a Tennessee Vol!

 

[Voldog1998]

North Kentucky in a tight one with houston.

Maybe all the good teams will lose

Houston is overrated

 

[AthensVol2007]

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.

Aidoo had a strong half? 0-1 and 2 rebounds. Uros did some good things? He’s our leading scorer at 7pts and 2 rebounds and has proven to be toughest dude on the floor tonight.

 

[87&91ALUM]

Hope we can slow the pace, keep playing good D, and make shots. Need Uros and Santi to play smart and stay out of foul trouble.

UCLA rollin. I picked the wrong #2
