Will agree on Ledlum. Needed that extra presence that he brought, never got on board with the bashing the guy for transferring. We are playing small and scared.

A tiger hasn't changed its stripes. The same offensive challenged players but it looks like the defense is what is really shocking. It's probably why we lose more so than offense.

Finally some freaking emotion, great block by Gainey

 

[jhcrane14]

The tide is turning!!!

 

[DooleyOrangePants]

Maybe…just maybe some life.

Or UNC is just going through the motions.

 

[GBO18]

Hopefully UNC does not make another shot. We might have chance.

 

[white65]

So many years we start hot and cool down come march. Maybe its not the worst thing to not be playing our best so early.

 

[GUNTERSVOL]

Gainey is absolutely lost on defense

Except for the best defensive play by either team on that block, recovery and pass back into play.

 

[ETV]

Hopefully UNC does not make another shot. We might have chance.

lol.

 

[ColinS]

Actually playing a little ball and then we get a couple of calls. Funny how that works.

 

[Bryan1]

Great hustle and d from Gainey!

 

[johnboyhunter]

Dang, no points that pos

 

[DooleyOrangePants]

Wow, we start to play some D and then stop.

 

[BreatheUT]

JJJ missed a bunny and caused a 3 point runout. Pathetic.

 

[tnvols72]

Knecht and JJJ has kept this team from having like 18 points

 

[KnoxtotheBoro20]

Greta hustle but have waited wayyyy too late to start playing UT basketball

 

[vader]

They just keep banging 3s

 

[white65]

Unlucky tonight, 5 point swing right there.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

This performance is equally frustrating because I’m not sure if WE will ever shoot this well the rest of the season and we’re down by 16 with 12 to go.

 

[GBO18]

Make it a respectable loss boys. Keep chipping away.

 

[berryvol]

Gaw. Every time we get on a run they find some space and knock down a shot. Could have this down to 10 right now if JJJ hits that bunny and we get a stop.

 

[Caz]

JJJ missed a bunny and caused a 3 point runout. Pathetic.

Funny we miss a wide open 2ft shoot and they drain a 30ft three. Been like that all night

 

[jim285pro]

I haven’t watched much BBall in a couple years. Looks like the same team I saw then. New white dude is good.

 

[Creeker]

Don’t understand at all why JJJ stopped 13 feet from the basket. No one stopped him,dumb play

 

[KnoxtotheBoro20]

Greta hustle but have waited wayyyy too late to start playing UT basketball

 

[VolunteerCeltic]

JJJ should have attacked the basket on that one instead of putting up a weak floater, Vols in the bonus
