The Official #1 Tennessee @ #8 Florida Game Thread, 7:00 PM ET, ESPN2

[OJJ]

Looks like a middle school offensive gameplan, or lack thereof

There's been tons of open shots. So it isn't the offensive game plan. It's a horse shttt night.

 

[zaqhhh]

Kinda a culmination of all the fears we thought might happen at the start of the season.

We have one shooter. He’s having a cold night. Our bigs aren’t physical enough or scorers. ZZ is inconsistent. And our wings aren’t able to create shots.

 

[Voljayton]

This is the exact opposite start we needed, how can everything go wrong all in the same game for us?

This seems to happen to us a lot. We don't have 1 guy off at a time. It's the whole team.

 

[theroyz71]

Losing a road game is one thing but getting embarrassed is something else.

 

[cncchris33]

That last possession summed up this entire game. Bad shot from 3 from ZZ, followed up by terrible clock management and an even worse shot from Gainey.

 

[BleedOrange81]

Wasn’t ready from the tip…

 

[Nighthawkvol10]

Was the Florida guy not laying on the baseline?

Yes, was screaming that at my tv lol

 

[TheMookieMonster]

For my own mental health, I’m going to go watch something else. When the outcome is this clear, it’s best to just snap and clear and not be negative.

 

[volz2wallz]

If say we have to hold them under 25 points to have a shot in 2nd half

 

[vol4eva]

I never thought I’d see a worse performance than the Cuonzo Georgetown game. This one is close

 

[njvols]

0-13 three's
4-27

Wouldn’t believe it

 

[Namorto1]

Well that was horrible. Let them build a sizable lead that will be tough to recover from. Going to be a lot of lessons learned in this game….hopefully. Our lack of post play on offense really is pronounced.

 

[cwbytruckers]

If we lose by less than 10 it’s a win

 

[KnoxtotheBoro20]

Losing a road game is one thing but getting embarrassed is something else.

This! I don’t care if we drop a game but we look like we don’t even belong on the court against a team Kentucky scored 106 on!

 

[JCP201]

This is probably the worst I've ever seen from the VOLS basketball. I don't expect we will be this bad in the second half, but I don't know if we can catch up.

 

[Caz]

When TN stinks it’s not just a little here or there, it’s every facet of the game that has most people shake their heads in disbelief. We look as lost as a “goose running around in a hail storm”

 

[hUTch2002]

Middle school score

Middle school play.

 

[87Vol]

Well, it was fun being No. 1 while it lasted. We’re playing like we have no pride or heart.

 

[vavolfan6]

What do you want them to do? Lie? Florida is dominating us right now. These same announcers did this to us Saturday when it was us dominating.

Florida is the home team. This is expected. But we are playing tough, just not hitting shots. Arkansas was flat out pathetic with no effort.

This.

 

[99gator]

Thoughts

1. There is an difference in effort.

2. There are going to be nights like this for everyone in the league with as many good teams as there are.

3. My biggest concern watching this would be that there doesn’t seem to be anywhere to go to stop the bleeding.

But, you’re the last undefeated team in the country. If the score holds, I would not freak out about losing to a top 10 team on the road

 

[LSG410EC83]

So we don’t have one player on the bench right now who can shoot better than mashack? 3 wide open shots and none of them were close.

Evidently we dont have anyone on the floor that can shoot either.

 

[Legion of Doom]

Just a lack of effort and fire from team. At least fight and show some grit.

 

[Clad in Big Orange]

I decided not to watch. Didn’t feel like getting all worked up tonight. A check of the score tells me I made a good choice. Dang it!

 

[hUTch2002]

By people who can’t shoot. It’s not just having open shots, who has them matters.
