I'll say it if no one else has...UNC is playing out their a**.

To an extent but a lot of there shots are wide open.

 

[OJJ]

10 damn 3 to our 3....

 

[Jaxon_Vol2017]

Every single good team we've played has beat us. Why should we expect anything other than a first round defeat in the NCAA tourney?

 

[ColinS]

What year did we last get an offensive rebound?

 

[VolunteerCeltic]

Save the drama for later.

Pretty sure this is 3rd butt whipping TN has endured to a top 25 team in a row. Does not look good at all for Vols

 

[AppStVol]

Gainey is absolutely lost on defense

 

[tnvols72]

well in their 2 losses and this one coming , the 3 ball has been the killer

 

[DooleyOrangePants]

Haven’t done anything spectacular? They literally can’t miss! This is one of the more impressive offensive performances I’ve seen, even considering our bad defense. That’s why it’s out of hand - the combo of sh*t defense and then having the hottest of hot hands.

It’s easy to look spectacular when the defense might as well not even be out there. We’ve helped them look stellar.

 

[RyanWalkerPGH]

Basilio said after the Wisconsin game, there was some jealousy over the attention the transfers were getting. Starting to believe that, they aren’t playing as a team.

 

[Power T-Rev]

Building your resume on beating middle of the road SEC and mid major teams will not get them in.

lol. Seven games in and we’re declaring the season lost. Chill out

 

[kxtop]

This is embarrassing!!

 

[volpadre]

This basketball ball team sucks. Not even competitive

 

[white65]

Combo of bad luck, bad defense, and amazing shooting by UNC.

I agree we have made it easier on them. But you, especially as a Tennessee fan, should know knocking down good looks doesn’t come automatic in college.

Bad defense has contributed quite a bit to UNCs shooting

 

[tnvols72]

Please get ZZ out of there.

 

[wmcovol]

How I wish we had played Georgia Tech or Wake. This is… very, very rough.

Like the 8th SEC should?

 

[OJJ]

Please get ZZ out of there.

Yep sit him for 2 weeks

 

[DooleyOrangePants]

I know brother, just completely dumbfounded by how awful we’ve looked on the defensive end tonight. No explanation for it, no reasonable explanation, just downright terrible and a no-show.

 

[Pacer92]

Lol

 

[tnvols72]

This is a lazy team

 

[tnvols72]

Barnes even has that clueless look on his face

 

[VolunteerCeltic]

No emotion from Barnes or bench

 

[Vols All Day]

Knecht has to do better on the defensive boards. Dude needs to quit waiting for someone else to get the ball and go get it.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

What are we doing? Dalton just stood there and watched the basketball bounce while the UNC guy attacks the board. Does anyone on this team want to play defense???? Anyone???
