The Official #4 Tennessee vs. #5 Duke NCAA Tournament Game Thread, 2:40 PM ET, CBS

[Hurley Mooncalf]

I like ON's play so far.

 

[vols 30]

We can’t have bad JJJ or bad Nkamhoua and win today.

Looks like We've got good ON at least

 

[87&91ALUM]

The UT player hate in here is ridiculous. A minute into a big game in tourney and buckets of tears and teeth gnashing. Fahr everyone….smh…go Vols.

 

[ButchPlz]

He's a competitor. I like it.

I'm so sick of people who act like players with heat and intensity are dirty. If he was out there literally assaulting guys like some players do, fine. But he's a big dude that throws his weight around literally. He gets chippy and competitive. Dirty would be spitting on people or fist fighting them.

Bunch of weenies.

 

[chuckb1448]

I’ve seen nothing from this Duke team that scares me yet.

I agree, we need to establish Vescovi in a shooting spot at least every other possession

 

[Zues1]

Imagine Tshibiwe if they called him for boxing out or over the back or pushing.

Imagine his daddy cal crying......

 

[vol94]

Dude flopped….twice

And you don’t think TN players have ever flooped? It happens every game. The two called on Uros were good calls.

 

[GAVol]

This one is going to be a 40 minute tug-o-war.

 

[SonOfGodVolforlife]

Hopefully the refs let us play. That’s the only we’re gonna beat duke. If they call every tik tak play like dukes lobbying we’re screwed

 

[BreatheUT]

He flopped like hell. Dude from Duke needs to toughen up.

You have got to be kidding. The refs don't care anything about you thinking Duke's players need to toughen up. Plasivc sprinted and hip checked the guy for no reason. Sure the guy flopped but why not if it works.

 

[sechamp2012]

Flipowski should have a try out with WWE with selling these flops. However, you can't help them out if you're Tennessee. Santi with the 3 as I type....

That was a foul on UP but they should give him a flop warning .

 

[DuckInAPen]

In Uros's defense, Filipkowski elbowed Uros hard in the ribs immediately before Uros swung his arm back.

 

[DowntownVol]

Could be worse, certainly. I don't mind Uros' two early fouls that much, because a tone was set.

 

[Cdywolfe]

He flopped like hell. Dude from Duke needs to toughen up.

Yeah don’t stand under the rim of that level of contact is too much for you. This is big boy basketball.

 

[vols 30]

I’d go ahead and get T’d up and send a message

And then we lose by 1or 2

 

[TomcatVolFan]

For me...that shot by Vescovi was a good sign.

 

[ttocswob]

Good D, good enough O - Dook 8-7
Save Uros, may need his elbows in the second half…

 

[Freak]

In Uros's defense, Filipkowski elbowed him hard in the ribs immediately before he swung his arm back.

I saw that too.

 

[Larkin]

Mashack is a beast on ball D. It’s beautiful really

 

[Clad in Big Orange]

Have they called a Dook foul yet?

 

[NO SIR EEE]

Keep applying pressure

 

[vols 30]

The UT player hate in here is ridiculous. A minute into a big game in tourney and buckets of tears and teeth gnashing. Fahr everyone….smh…go Vols.

Yes, no one should be upset with Uros

 

[I4Vols]

There JJJ did something good

be tough to win this one without the good JJJ, on O and D and R's

 

[firestorm]

Great to see Tennessee is running with Duke in the 1st half.

 

[GoVols9800]

He weighs 180lbs.

180?! Remind me to never to take you to the circus. You would be horrible at guess his weight game.

He weighs 180lbs.

180?! You would never do well at the circus guessing weights. Lol. Try 230-240
