The Official #17 Tennessee vs. Florida State Game Thread, 7:00 PM ET, CBS Sports Network

[1985Vols]

Bowden has completely disappeared. I was hoping he had gotten past that.

He's been that way his entire career. Dude has more slumps than any player I know

 

[aurabass]

Neither can Turner, but those 2 are really the only options right now

Turner has 46 asst vs 15 TO's going into tonight's game
He's been a pretty strong PG up until tonight

 

[VolsSportsFan]

Had our chances and every time FSU left the door opened, we pissed down our legs.

 

[tnvols72]

now the refs are quick to call hand checking on Tn but not on FSU

 

[TheMookieMonster]

I think this is the first game where I've really started to see how losing Plavsic to the waiver denial has hurt us badly. We're not rebounding all that well and when you shoot the ball terribly, sometimes you can rely on a post-game. Could have really used him tonight.

 

[minorvol]

Pons has really improved.

 

[imw8n4u]

Defense clap clap

 

[Tstormtrooper]

Only one point guard on the team ? How did Barnes let this happen ?

He scrimmaged against his own team.

Agreed. And it is ridiculous he was not cleared.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Just can't get both the stop and score in the same sequence...

 

[1985Vols]

Our lack of depth at the 1 and the 5 is very concerning.

Our lack of depth overall is very concerning. I'm worried this team will be worn down come Feb./ March. We're one injury away from being a .500 team

 

[VolsSportsFan]

Lol....play good defense then don't block out.

 

[FlVols]

How was that foul on Fulky? He was standing there and the guy came on his back.

 

[tnvols72]

he pushed Fulk in the back

 

[whodeycin85]

How come on a pick and roll we dont pick??? We just rush to the hoop

 

[Big Orange Rock]

Need a little urgency on offense. Playing like we are 5 minutes into the second half.

 

[golfballs]

Fulkerson looks like an idiot at times

 

[tnvols72]

standing around like they are winning with 3 min left

 

[VOLinAL]

Why is Fulkerson practicing his flops on every play?

 

[chad954ut]

Our lack of depth at the 1 and the 5 is very concerning.

Especially the 1

 

[VolsSportsFan]

Have to score to on this possession

 

[1985Vols]

Even though we've been within 6-12 points most of the game, I've never felt we had a chance and it feels like we have been down 25 points the entire time

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Okay Lamonte yeah let's drive the lane into 4 defenders and put THAT shot up in crunch time down 7....what are we DOING on offense? We cannot score after a stop...

 

[TJ1985]

We definitely need more bench production. My preseason prediction was winning 18-20 games, and I'm not sure that will happen if we don't develop quality depth.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

And of course f'n Turner doesn't.
