Tennessee vs LBST Game Thread

[tidwell]

I can't think of another team that's scored over 90 in a game yet, much less 120.

 

[dan4vols]

I suddenly feel not-so-insane having them in the final 4:compute:

 

[cibai]

this games gona break 200 pts

 

[johnnybravo]

We hit 51.9% from the 3. That percentage will beat any team in the country. FL heated up this time last year. If JuJuan, Lofton, and Ramar are on we will win against anybody!

 

[WillisWG]

Omigod!

 

[Voldaddy]

ESPN giving us some crap for taking that last shot...

Funny, had it been Dook then Diick Vitale would be saying how great it is for these kids to get in a tournament game and score, they practice every day, something they will never forget, blah blah blah...

 

[tidwell]

All in all, a nice scrimmage to prep for Sunday. :rock2:

 

[tidwell]

Who, exactly, from ESPN was calling LBSU's lack of defense classless?

 

[tidwell]

Bruce claiming Chism isn't exactly wired right and doesn't make much sense to begin with, so the doctors shouldn't pay much attention if he looks groggy. :lol:

Gotta love Bruce Pearl. Has a great relationship with his players .

i like the way TN finished the game today...draining the net!

I know it was a shootout; but is anyone else concerned that LBSU scored 86 points?

 

[tvolsfan]

Greatest thing ever seeing the crowd scream NO WAY every time Lofton put a 3 up.

 

[tvolsfan]

I know it was a shootout; but is anyone else concerned that LBSU scored 86 points?

Yes.

 

[tidwell]

What'd the crowd say when that Nixon guy was jacking'em from deep?

it was a walk on. if you can't prevent a walk on from hitting a 3 pointer at the end of the game, than you suck. Everybody knows whenever a walk-on gets on the court they're gonna shot. Hell, I'm surprised he actually made it

 

[tvolsfan]

Crowd was supporting LBSU, I think they were surprised LBSU shot so well.

 

[JAllen18MVP]

I know it was a shootout; but is anyone else concerned that LBSU scored 86 points?

Not really. They score about 80 points a game, so it's pretty much the norm for them.

 

[tvolsfan]

Still, 86 points to a team we have never heard of...

 

[Slick Rick Ricardo]

Slick Rick says, what a game for The Big Orange. Tennessee came out and played very well. That is the best they have played in the NCAA in quite some time. It will be a fun game on Sunday with Virginia. If Tennessee shoots that well again and hits 14 3 pointers they will advance. What a great game to watch.

 

[JAllen18MVP]

Well, I'm not saying we played great defensively, but it was pretty much what I expected. We're not a great defensive team, and they score a lot of points normally. Add to that the team probably wasn't giving 100% on defense after they went up by about 25.

 

[RockyTop18]

Thrilled with the win, but I think we all agree we need to tighten it up on defense.

A win is a win though, bring on UVA and GO BIG ORANGE!!

 

[tidwell]

I don't care if the Vols give up 86 as long as they score 35 more than that.

 

[Voldaddy]

I don't care if the Vols give up 86 as long as they score 35 more than that.

Come now Tidwell, you are starting to sound like a KY fan. I don't care if we give up 86, as long as we score 1 more.

 

[emainvol]

i would be concerned more if we hadn't had a bit of a foul problem early. jujuan and chris had to play off a little bit, we still outrebounded them 41-26 and forced them into 13 turnovers to our 6, so i think we played okay overall. we definitely can't have our guards fouling early against virginia though.
