Here we come

This is one of the most frustrating Tennessee teams I can remember. They just haven’t been very fun to watch this year outside of a couple moments.

Stop blaming refs. We are down 18. No offensive sets. Leave our feet on defense on every pump fake.

Not the refs, it’s lack of good play from TN

Great point, except that ITS THE REFS FAULT!!

You cab still blane the refs we are down as much as we are. It could be closer. Pons could be playing more confidently if not having to be foul conscious. It affects the game. I never gained we should be winning!

 

[vol94]

Keon forcing it. Don’t blame him though when down 20 @ one point and nobody being aggressive.

Problem is Oregon St will hit enough threes to slow down our runs, if we have any, unless we can get hit beyond the arc.

 

[johnboyhunter]

they are shooting over 50% on 3s. Hard to beat anyone who has that hot of hand. We are shooting 13%.

 

[zaqhhh]

Still haven’t got closer than 13 since they built their lead, gotta have at least one run in us.

 

[VolMarine1371]

Is Pons just trying to foul out?

Appears that way. Way he’s playing it’s prolly safe to say he will be back next year. Don’t think he would try his luck in NBA and be stuck in G-League or China.

 

[GoVolunteers]

We aren’t losing this because of refs.

 

[Zues1]

Cut it to 13. Look out

 

[GBO18]

Kudos to Oregon St for knocking down 3s. That is what basketball players are supposed to do. We don’t have any it seems right now.

 

[Volitaire]

Damn it Johnson stop trying to do too much.

When Bailey and vescovi actually start making shots he won’t have to

 

[GreveHaller]

we are a NIT team dressed in MM clothes

 

[golfballs]

Not having Fulky is really a killer

 

[VolMarine1371]

We need a big post down low!

Can that stop them from shooting 50% from 3’s?

You never know who is showing up. Upset that Pons got that last foul when Keon got hit twice and nothing.

 

[Delmar]

Pons’ head not in the game today. One of those days.

Yep. He’s just wandering around out there. Now he has 4 fouls and we now have nobody bigger than 6-6 who can play a lick.

 

[RAVOL]

Every year a church league guy goes off in the second half from 3.

Barnes team lacks confidence. He’s ridiculed the life out of these guys.

All year I have heard him tell his team to shoot open shots and get out and run. Si I disagree here

 

[Dergibvol]

Pons and fully both looked better last year

 

[casetopia]

Didn't Bruce lose by 30 his last game with us?

no Bruce was undefeated here and never told a lie.

 

[VolunteerCeltic]

Game is essentially over

 

[Danny White’s Vest]

Playing like hot garbage.... what the heck... they just play lazy it seems like.

 

[Enki_Amenra]

No whistle?

 

[griffdog14]

He’s not caring how pathetic of a fan you are and can’t wait to play for a HOF coach with a team in need of a true point guard

LMAO

 

[Volitaire]

Springer has just nothing last couple of games but had lit it up for a short stretch before

He has more points than vescovi and Bailey...

 

[Zues1]

Please don't blame this abomination on the refs
