The Official #6 [2] Tennessee vs. #2 [1] Houston Game Thread, 2:20 PM ET, CBS

[Go47]

Gainey is hot - gotta hope they go cold . . . And Lanier joins Gainey.

Even at that . . . It would take a 18-4 run like UF had in their game to win.

Gotta get it under 10 at 10:00.

 

[VOLinAL]

Also the complaints about the fans all year, well they are there and making noise.

Ive had no complaint about fans being there for us. Making noise has always been the issue.

 

[Mid Tenn Vol]

Where was this effort first half. If we had played like this it’s probably a 5 or so pt game.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

Problem is we have to be almost flawless the rest of the game. Defense and rebounding need to step up.

 

[Caz]

Just somehow have to turn them over and get some easy baskets and put pressure on them

 

[volz2wallz]

Zig and lanier time to join gainey

 

[walkenvol]

Gainey doing his best to make a game out of this stinker

 

[Other_Guy]

Also the complaints about the fans all year, well they are there and making noise.

The best fanbases are kinda like the crazy hot girl scale.

 

[KTrain]

We had a little momentum for 5 seconds

Difference is they get an open 3 their knocking them down. They are dialed in. Kind of like us vs UK they would hit a 3 and we came back knock one down we kept the 13-point spread whole 2nd half same here.

 

[Vfl83]

Gainey has woken up, now will Lanier?

 

[Vol737]

is that ****** first half really going to screw us?

Hard for it not to, unless we hit just about everything we throw up the rest of this half.

 

[ttocswob]

Gainey has equaled our team first half... almost.

 

[Voltopia]

I want to be wrong I want to be wrong I want to be wrong I want to eat my words, I will eat my words SO HARD, PLEASE TENNESSEE get off the mat I WANT TO BE WRONG.

 

[Orangeslide]

Where was this type of effort to begin the game!

We didn’t press at the beginning. They gotta go cold and stay cold. Rebound when they miss.

 

[Gandalf]

Ok guys. Starting to score. Down 14. Time left. Turn this around and make it the greatest game in TN BB history!

Immortal greatness is at your fingertips, TAKE IT!

 

[theroyz71]

Probably 40

I originally typed 40 but changed it to 30 before I posted it. Lol

 

[Anti-shunshinepumper]

He should’ve been starting over Igor all season

Definitely should have been starting to avoid the cold starts we so often have

 

[Just a VolinTears]

Better late than never. NOW IS THE TIME!

 

[Other_Guy]

Showing a little life thanks to Gainey... but have to get stops or rebounds on the other end.

Houston hasn't been super impressive. Haven't had to be. They have a chance...

 

[TN1111]

Why has Igor continued to start over Gainey? Or is it because he's better coming off?

 

[C-south]

Where was this effort first half. If we had played like this it’s probably a 5 or so pt game.

Part of that effort has been on the bench during this little run.

 

[utvolpj]

Philips can't handle him

 

[WillisWG]

fight Vols, fight

 

[Creeker]

Are we gonna let them just murder us down low all game or we gonna help at some point

 

[tnvols72]

Got to have Chaz in the game, there is no tomorrow
