The Official #6 [2] Tennessee vs. [15] Wofford Game Thread, 6:50 PM ET, TNT

[TheMookieMonster]

Disappointing half of basketball honestly. Don’t think we played quite with the sense of urgency you need in March. Really want to see us be more crisp in the 2nd half.

Would have been nice for Lanier to make that 3. But we up 9. All good.

Hope we get 7-10 from Lanier in the 2nd.

 

[Vols All Day]

This team has to find other scorers beyond Chaz, ZZ, and Gainey. But, I’ll take a 8-10
Point lead at hand and then put them away by 12 min mark.

Igor was supposed to help, but he has been nonexistent since the start of the SEC tournament.

 

[patrick]

We are up 9. A couple earlier games were close at half.

Is there a question here. My list was a response to someone else.

 

[Voltopia]

Whelp. Not the best half, definitely not the worst.

 

[Bryan1]

Never do it.

Apparently didn't, that call was bs!

 

[JMSqb11]

He’s terrified. We better hit the portal and find a point guard for next season. Bos may improve but not enough to be a starter next yr

I disagree. I think he is obviously talented, but he doesn't want to get in the dog house which usually happens under Barnes. The best thing about this season is he has gotten to sit and watch ZZ while being developed by Barnes. I'm actually very bullish on Boswell taking over next year

 

[molsen81]

Look at Kansas playing like they mean it

 

[TrapVol]

Felix can’t buy an offensive rebound. Good grief

I’m actually surprised at his lack of production in that area. I don’t know if it’s a bad luck or what, but I hope something changes.

Bringing in Dubar and Boswell didn't help either.

 

[Chattahooligan]

LETS GOOOOO, cmon Fischer!!! What a crank

Edit: well this is awkward, wrong thread, I am in

 

[Anti-shunshinepumper]

the lack of a scoring option down low hurts this team.

We don't even attempt it really tho.
There are times it is there.

 

[BigOrangeFanatic]

Hopefully we are getting the dud out of the way against an inferior opponent. We will lose in the second game playing like this no doubt.

We have zero inside game on either end. Offense is extremely inconsistent. Our “great defense” is only as good as how bad the offense is we’re playing.

 

[GUNTERSVOL]

Leading by 9, and they hit 3 tough shots and one answered prayer on a three, strangest lucky bounce I hav ever seen.

Only real complaint I have with refs is the grabbing of Lanier everywhere, and that goal tend call not reviewed.

 

[VolGee4]

You responded and then I responded to you. Pretty simple.

We got some nervous guys.

 

[TrapVol]

What happened to the lob game. Got away from that late in the season

I’ve noticed the same. I’ve wondered if teams have adjusted to it, but we were doing it late in the season, so I’m not convinced.

 

[Caz]

Igor was supposed to help, but he has been nonexistent since the start of the SEC tournament.

We have all of 2 points from our bigs. This isn’t a recipe in my opinion to move forward. I’d love to be wrong

I hope Barnes didn't get fooled by Wofford rotating often and feeling he needs to do the same with Dubar and Boswell. WE need to cruise in the second half

He's so lovable...

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Fell in love with the 3 a bit, but up 9.

Shack is playing full speed, if rest of the team matches him this one gets ugly fast in second half.

Expected our bigs to take over, but haven’t done much yet.

I thought we played fine. Outrebounded them. It’s being called tighter, so adjust. A goaltend missed call and a triple bounce 3 from being up 14.

 

[Westtnvol2]

We did not take the ball to the basket as much as we should, no dunks in the first half I believe, few stickbacks.

 

[Zues1]

Bigs don't seem to be cutting to the basket
