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

[jbr82]

I have thought a lot about this game and regardless of whose fault I truly wanted this win for Barnes himself. He gets so much ridicule and he is a good coach.

Just not in March

 

[Vol8188]

Hard to say I will particularly miss ON. I’m sure he cares and has worked hard but easily the most frustrating Vol in recent memory.

I don’t understand the guy at all. If you were our leading scorer last week why aren’t you being more aggressive on offense?

 

[Tenacjim]

I can’t believe I let myself get my hopes up again…..

 

[Volstylexx]

March madness is what got us here. It’s what ends our season. So proud of this team and what they accomplished this season.

 

[tnvols72]

I hope Tn fans dont act like Duke fans after this loss. Tn did not win because they got out rebounded and cant shoot

 

[rev_911]

This is what I expected early on. Making the sweet 16 was a pleasant surprise. Vescovi and Uros are either really good or really bad. Tonight they were really bad.

They both did fine tonight. James turned in another mediocre performance for an older 5 star guy. Key shoots like he is kobe bryant. I wish some of our other players had his confidence. He hustles, but really struggles shooting.

 

[PowerT83]

We were a top 5 team for about 2 weeks all season

 

[charleyhorse]

Kansas State will blow them out.

 

[Ernest T. Vol]

Foul right now

 

[vol_in_ga]

Can we rent a coach for the tournament going forward?

 

[jbr82]

Recruit some offense in the off season. See ya next year.

Believe it when I see it

 

[SouthKnoxVOL]

Could been a good season,but lost to a mid major..

It's like some of you idiots don't watch college basketball.

 

[molsen81]

Candace will not be available later for comment

 

[etcolton]

things took the turn for the worst when plavsic pulled that dumb ass move. Glad he’s gone

 

[I Love Lamp]

I’m not even mad. No one picked the Vols to make it out of the first round, much less the S16. Accomplishing that after the loss of ZZ is remarkable.

This is honestly where I am at. As crappy as it is, we were playing with house money after the first round.

 

[Vols All Day]

Rick can’t ever put a team this deficient on offense on the court again. There wasn’t one player on this team you could count on to go get you a bucket.

 

[Unconditional Surrender]

Have we been favored in every single tournament loss under Barnes?

 

[LieutenantNeyland]

Davis is a fine offensive player but he is a hack on defense. He should’ve been fouled out.

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

We just crapped the bed, then ran down the hall and crapped all over the hall, then got into the bathroom and missed the toilet and crapped all over the floor. Pathetic.

 

[volmoon]

I know we got out rebounded. However, sometimes the ball just bounces the way of the other team. That has happened multiple times tonight, including shots bouncing off the side of the glass into the FAU offensive rebound.

 

[YankeeVol]

Can’t get out-rebounded by one of the smallest teams in America.

 

[Kicker82]

This is about the equivalent of losing to South Carolina 63-38 in football with the playoffs on the line…not a great feeling but still a good season

 

[vol94]

I’ve enjoyed the game threads so thanks for letting me give my opinions, vent , etc.


We all love our Vols which is why this hurts so badly. Guess I won’t be going to NY city tomorrow night.

 

[IH8TheHaslams]

Classic Tennessee sports. Another let down.

Had to finish off the trifecta of men's sports

 

[djohnnyg]

Too little too late.
