The Official #1 Tennessee @ Texas Game Thread, 6:00 PM ET, ESPN

[vol94]

We just arent playing defense. its sad

We are playing defense. Johnson is that good.

 

[KTrain]

We are quite literally going to let Tre Johnson beat us by himself….

A freshman that is in a zone, he has been really guarded well on most of them he's just having one of those games IMO,

 

[vol94]

And our all world defender is on the bench.

B/c he is in foul trouble.

 

[Anti-shunshinepumper]

Mashack has to guard 20.

That's why he is a starter. Needs to go in there and put this guy in a straight jacket

 

[Orangeslide]

Just score, 20 will shoot them out of it.

 

[87Vol]

We gotta have somebody besides Lanier be a dog scorer. Why can’t we ever have more than 1 offensive baller on the team?

 

[adam.vol]

Lol Are you serious? Every single one of those players you mention, are/were better scorers than Mashack. And it's not even close. There's no hating on Mashack. It's just stating the facts. He's not a good offensive player. He's a great defender though.

You didn’t watch any games last year.

 

[patrick]

Barnes only lets three scorers play at the same time. Okpara and Philips are useless outside of 5 feet. Ziegler is too short. Play some people who work on shooting, please!

ZZ way too many turnovers this season.

Gainey being lazy.

Mill not shooting the 3.

Mshack nothing offensively.

Chaz covered up.

 

[Go47]

Lanier has totally disappeared. Let’s stop with the Knecht comparisons.

 

[Anti-shunshinepumper]

Nice Dubar. Like the effort

 

[orbs son]

Starting to think Lanier is just a spot up shooter that just had a lot of good looks against decent to bad teams.

 

[VolunteerCeltic]

Dude can’t keep making these shots all game. He is no Knecht.

He will continue to make these shots, he is going for 30 plus tonight

 

[tnvols72]

Dubar is playing well

 

[patrick]

Dubar is the only Vol that looks like he wants to play hard.

 

[Anti-shunshinepumper]

Lanier has totally disappeared. Let’s stop with the Knecht comparisons.

To be fair, Chaz had some not so great games when teams chose to let everyone beat them but him

 

[RiseToTheTop]

Big Game Rick and that amazing offense

 

[CAVPUT]

Relax. We got this.

 

[Ernest T. Vol]

Dubar is the only Vol that looks like he wants to play hard.

Phillips is bangin'

 

[VOLLeeann]

Do we really need 4 guys to run over every time to help #5 get up when fouled?

 

[Orangeslide]

Starting to think Lanier is just a spot up shooter that just had a lot of good looks against decent to bad teams.

Conference teams are not gonna let him beat them.

 

[patrick]

Phillips is bangin'

Yes and Cade. Apologies.

 

[RAVOL]

Hate this injury as it brings back in best player

 

[BigOrangeFanatic]

You didn’t watch any games last year.

watched everyone of them. The averages may have been down last year but that was due to Knecht.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Not yet, DK seemed to thrive & rise and Chaz seems to get frustrated and slacking off.

DK thrived in road games. He wanted to silence crowds. And he always played with confidence. Lanier looks a bit rattled out there.

 

[Go47]

To be fair, Chaz had some not so great games when teams chose to let everyone beat them but him

Fair.
