The Official #5 Tennessee vs. Vanderbilt Game Thread, 1:00 PM ET, SEC Network

[Volnbeers]

You would think a HOF coach like Rick barnes would be able to bring actual basketball players into his program.

 

[Anti-shunshinepumper]

Maybe not but his shots are about as good as the ones being shot in the paint!

I'll still take my chances with anyone else shooting it but Mashack

 

[KB5252]

What Vanderbilt does comes dangerously close to moving picks on offense.

That said they defend well, at least against us. We struggle offensively way too often. They aren't letting us get much going inside now and the 3 will not get us back in control unless we get defensive stops.

 

[vols 30]

Mashack is a straight up liability on offense. We are just going to have to face it

He is. And his defense isn't what it was in the past

 

[patrick]

Just awful offense. Awful.

 

[walkenvol]

So very frustrating to watch the #1 defensive team in the country giving up so many good looks and O rebounds.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

This Carey guy is such ass & we make him look like an All Star.

 

[Legion of Doom]

Awful game plan again and team is not working hard. This season is going south. Thank goodness baseball season is here. This team looks lost on both end of floor. Terrible spacing.

 

[TartanTurff]

Horrible stand around dribble on the perimeter offense Rick, already lost to these guys once, nice hole to dig out of

 

[knoxchief]

Refs must have an early flight after the game. Nothing being called haha

Wait until the second half. They will call all sorts of BS fouls!

 

[Anti-shunshinepumper]

He is. And his defense isn't what it was in the past

Dubar needs to be getting Flordia minutes today.
Shack can sit

 

[VolsSportsFan]

There is no excuse to be this unprepared

 

[GBO18]

Phillips plays hard but he’s terrible

Ehhh he will improve on the offensive side but he definitely needs start rebounding better today.

 

[RAVOL]

They’re better in every aspect of the game in this one so far.

They most definitely are

 

[Caz]

This team just isn’t very good. Capable of a hot shooting game every now and then. Can’t play defense against Vandy and KY.

I think they’ve just quit! They don’t look to even give two ***** to the outcome and the crowd is door knob dead

 

[walkenvol]

Is anyone else thinking Vanderbilt has the better roster and better depth?

We sure don’t have a #22

 

[VOLINVONORE]

Maybe not but his shots are about as good as the ones being shot in the paint!

It looks like he wants to carry the team and there is no way he can do that.

 

[vols 30]

12 - 5 rebounding edge for Vandy

 

[G0V0LS33]

Why does this team not know how to shoot the ball. It is hard to watch at times.

 

[1morevol]

Can't drive and score. Can't shoot from outside and score. Can't post up and score. Better turn it around quickly.

 

[RiseToTheTop]

This just isnt a very good team at all

 

[GUNTERSVOL]

Vandy being both lucky and good. Have to hope we can bank in a three too. We tend to tighten up when karma starts bad. Gotta get over that.

 

[BreatheUT]

The reality should be setting in that this team would be fortunate to get to the Sweet 16. I just don't think we have the guns to go any further.

 

[sechamp2012]

Vandy having 1 of those days bank in 3 balls bouncing in rim & getting bunch friendly roll ins can they keep it up if so could be a long day. Beating to every rebound

 

[TheBigOne10]

Man we’re getting our ass kicked
