The Official #1 Tennessee @ Illinois Game Thread, 5:30 PM ET, FOX

4 on Felix... and the 4 on ZZ gonna hurt.

Going to have play zz.

 

[Spawn]

Awful calls. Seeing multiple push offs on Illinois

 

[tnvols72]

Illini is just not that good and beyond Chaz Tn has no shooters.

 

[yabadabadolnavy]

No one on our team can create a shot besides lanier. Barnes doesn’t recruit scorers. It’s pathetic!

 

[vavolfan6]

Team played with a little fire for a moment. You can tell they are bothered by the refs affecting the game. No Zeigler has to get them fired up the refs are trying to interfere..

 

[BigOrangeFanatic]

Nothing falling

Yep. Sometimes that's the way it goes. You can't rely on Lanier to score all the points. Right now he's the only threat to score and he's not really shooting great.

 

[Tenacjim]

Okpara is a liability. We got a plan B?

Yeah, but he’s out for the year.

 

[KnoxtotheBoro20]

Tough night for Lanier

He has 17. Cant help it no one else is making a shot

 

[Franklin_Vol09]

Illinois is unranked this would be a terrible loss

Let me direct you to a bridge so you can jump off.

 

[BeardedVol]

Lol will we finish this game with enough players to even field a full team?

Should have known something was up when the refs arrived in this car.

 

[Creeker]

Illinois is unranked this would be a terrible loss

It would be a Q1 loss so no, it wouldn’t. If you don’t have a clue what you’re talking about then don’t speak.

 

[Lukusw]

Illinois is unranked this would be a terrible loss

No. This would not come close to a terrible loss.

 

[patrick]

Looks like Illinois is going to be permitted to set moving screens this half…

Should use Dubar to blow one up.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

Tough night for Lanier

Literally no one else is doing anything

 

[Volswami]

Too meny jump shots if the refs are going to call fouls go to the basket

 

[tnvols72]

I’m really trying to not be a NegaVol but this game feels over. 4 fouls on ZZ. 4 on Okpara. Officials aren’t calling anything on Illinois to start the half. No one can hit a shot. Everything going against us.

[Stoerner Fumbles]

Illinois is unranked this would be a terrible loss

That’s not how this works.

 

[RAVOL]

Well officials have decided to make our Vols play with 1 hand. Aggregious. Holding in lane on rebounds both teams are doing it. It's a shame. Now Igor has got to get going on offense. In CHRIST Alone

 

[KnoxtotheBoro20]

Going to have play zz.

Not gonna have a choice. Defense looks lost without him

 

[yabadabadolnavy]

Vols losing to a bunch of foreign players. A story that never stops

 

[hUTch2002]

Illinois is unranked this would be a terrible loss

Stop being stupid.

 

[BigOrangeFanatic]

Over under 2 on how many players we have foul out this game?

 

[Specs]

This officiating has been horrifically inconsistant. I dont know how anyone is supposed to play without knowing what a foul is.

It was a boxing match for the first 15 minites and now zz is getting fouls for getting stepped on

 

[Putbacks]

Illinois is unranked this would be a terrible loss

I’m really trying to not be a NegaVol but this game feels over. 4 fouls on ZZ. 4 on Okpara. Officials aren’t calling anything on Illinois to start the half. No one can hit a shot. Everything going against us.

I worry it will be like this at Ohio St
