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

I have never seen this many 3 pt shot foul calls in my life

Well we keep running their shooters over.

 

[BucksnortVol]

Houston, we have a problem..

 

[knoxchief]

Not looking so good. We have to make a run and start sinking 3's or we are done in this game. Getting outplayed by their D

 

[SouthKnoxVOL]

My observations:

1. Our team is undisciplined
2. We have no scorers besides Lanier.
3. Mashack is awful
4. Tall guy is awful
5. Zeigler can’t play on the road

My observation

1. You're a troll.

 

[patrick]

I felt like that whistle was blown before the ball left his hands...my goodness

It was.

 

[tnvols72]

5 - 1 foul calls. That’s total horse ****.

Official called the foul before there was contact.

Barnes needs to get off his ass and get his T.

this is as much on Barnes as the players

Totally agree

 

[Big Orange Rock]

Gonna be eight points this half and made 3s with follow-up foul. So freaking stupid. Illinois working a lot harder on defense than we are.

 

[chuckb1448]

Losing ain't bad if we play hard, we look lost out there tonight

 

[VolsSportsFan]

Mashack has been embarrassing today

 

[vavolfan6]

This game really pisses me off. We stuff Kasparus all game. Refs bail him out with free throws despite him pushing off. He couldn't even get off a 3 point shot.

Now refs have gone whistle happy, our team is in foul trouble and KJ is gettong shots off. So dumb since we had him under wraps.

 

[BigOrangeFanatic]

Illinois shooting lights out..ugh..

Not really. If they were we'd be down 20 right now. They are shooting better In the second half than they did in the first though.

 

[87&91ALUM]

We are gonna get opponent's courts on fire from now on...noisy, rowdy, fired up, and worth a lot of shots plus Defense.

 

[Namorto1]

Mashak needs to knock a jumper down

He is afraid to shoot. Not sure why. He practiced shooting all off season but clearly doesn't trust it.

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

There’s a reason Mashack hasn’t started before this year.

He started 21 games before this year.

 

[KnoxtotheBoro20]

Gotta settle down and get some stops. We are looking lazy on defense and letting that same trend roll over to offense.

 

[RAVOL]

Everyone sees why that 18 year old will become lottery pick. Incredible Player. Time to step up Vols or you will get run out of the gym. In CHRIST Alone

 

[DooleyOrangePants]

What the hell are we doing? Seriously?? This is the dumbest brand of basketball we’ve played in years. Officials have called fouls for literally blowing on a player too hard or looking at him wrong and we’re aggressively closing on a perimeter shot. Do we NOT think they will call it??

It’s maddening. I don’t know any other word for it.

Just terribly undisciplined basketball at this point.

 

[BP4Prez]

What are 7-0 in fouls this half?

 

[Switch 625]

Out Ft shooting told me we were cooked from the beginning. Stupid fouls on 3-point shooters confirmed the team isn’t locked in. This is the worst performance in a long time.

 

[Ernest T. Vol]

Need a bucket

 

[Franklin_Vol09]

The Illinois Incells are rowdy no doubt

 

[Big Orange Rock]

Better score a couple buckets in the next 3 possessions a or this is going to be a blow out.

 

[87&91ALUM]

Not really. If they were we'd be down 20 right now. They are shooting better In the second half than they did in the first though.

Kinda what I meant...Last few minutes
