The Official #4 Tennessee vs. #9 Florida Atlantic NCAA Tournament Game Thread, 9:00 PM ET, TBS

[BreatheUT]

They've been reaching in and not getting called.

 

[BJWeeks]

Barnes better not ever recruit another great defender. Defense is worthless in basketball. Go get some offensive players. Offense wins game in basketball

 

[hardyemt_p]

Won't hit them though

 

[TennTom]

How did this team beat Duke? LOL

 

[posivol]

poor shooting tonight...missed our spark plug for sure.

 

[Madscientistvol]

I swear Jehovah God hates us and doesn't want us in the Final Four... that is the only logic.

I don’t know why, but God seems to hate us.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Unreal. Just…..wow. Can’t say I’m surprised in any way. It’s Tennessee. 50 points scored against one of the smallest teams in the nation.

 

[RAVOL]

Oh well just couldn't shoot it tonight not having our point guard to match there quickness just ran around us. In CHRIST Alone

 

[PerryCountyVol]

Well really disappointed but with this team it's really what i expected. One good game then a dud the next

 

[Vol8188]

Someone shoot the ball

 

[TrueOrange]

lost to FAU... lol

Lane Kiffin tweet incoming

 

[casetopia]

Defense was fun but I'm ready for an offensive minded coach. It worked for football.

 

[volbound1700]

Good night…see y’all tomorrow for baseball

Baseball hasn't been that great either lol... Lady Vols are playing well but they get a #1 seed.

 

[amaralfan1]

Outcome was ordained with all the post Duke coverage. Refs played their role and Barnes forgot how to rally the troops. It was nice making it to the Sweet 16.

 

[TrapVol]

I’m just so tired of choking in the tournament to teams we should beat. Doesn’t matter who is coaching Tennessee, it’s just the way it’s always been.

 

[Deathandtaxes]

We played bad but gotta tip your cap to FAU… we knew we sucked going into the end of the season. We really shouldn’t of got this far.

 

[D3Athlete]

Absolutely sad that narrative really happened this game. Those two flops changed the momentum of the game in second half. Whole team went cold. Made it further than most expected, just sucks FAU is team to put us out.

 

[cwbytruckers]

Im sorry but this team needs overhauled

 

[ChattownVFL]

All I can do is laugh. We all knew this team would lose to a team they shouldn't in the tournament. only this time it was an elite 8 on the line and probably the easiest path to the final 4

 

[Matt2496]

I'm still surprised we even made it to the Sweet 16 TBH.

 

[vol94]

Foulds are not the problem. FAU is , by far the quickest team, and is out rebounding us as well as playing better defense than we are. ON has not shown up, Things are working out about like I had feared.

Agree. See my earlier post at the half. Now, I didn’t think we’d be down 7-10 points but they made shots, out coached Barnes, and utilized their speed. TN must recruit athletic players who can go to the rim and score anywhere on the court.

 

[DD4ME]

lost to FAU... lol

They are a good team

 

[Namorto1]

Ballgame. Well, unfortunate but not entirely unexpected with this group. We haven’t been able to shot straight all year.

 

[johnfnkelly]

Olivier is the softest player I’ve ever seen at UT.

Mf’s let 3 games out of the year to justify his PT. He’s so bad. Terrible. Soft.

 

[Persian Vol]

Beating Duke comfortably to lose and get out rebounded by a small ball mid major team encapsulates this season so well
