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

[DocVol]

VOLES!

 

[SugarVols]

Igor wtf are you doing

He’s usually lost

 

[vols 30]

They been pushing our bigs all night

Our bigs letting them is concerning.

 

[TrapVol]

What has happened to our rebounding? We could have three guys at the basket and the one guy for the other team will come down with the ball.

 

[Clad in Big Orange]

How are we getting bullied inside by these guys? They’re half our size.

It just means more

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Hopefully, this is us getting our stinker out of the way in game 1. Just bad basketball. Leaving guys wide open on the perimeter for a team that basically only shoots 3 balls.

 

[87&91ALUM]

We look lost in space...time out. Come on Vols! Wofford with a lot of fouls. Officials trying to even it up even if we aren't fouling.

 

[Anti-shunshinepumper]

Igor my God man

He was boxing out the air straight under the basketball not paying attention to anything.. smh

 

[Caz]

We gotta start defending the 3

Why start now? We can’t seem to learn that trick

 

[VolsSportsFan]

These guys won't go away. Not sure why they are getting rebounds like that last offensive board that led to the 3

Because we're letting them do the one thing that can keep them in it.

 

[Bigkat]

Igor has hit a wall bad!! Can’t even rebound anymore

 

[VOLinAL]

Just now able to watch this game. Why am I not surprised it doesn’t look like we will come close to covering the spread.

 

[TartanTurff]

ZZ shot it off the bottom of the rim, this is simply playground at this point in time and a pretty good way to leave the door open for a SoCon team to stay in the game, should have punched these guys out at the under 16 mark in the second half, no in tournament killer instinct in this program to go ahead and knock the other team out

 

[K-town Vol Fan]

Drive the ball. Hit FTs. Ballgame.

 

[OrangeInKy]

If only the scouting report said they are good at shooting 3's.

 

[vavolfan6]

Am I reading this right?! We went from winning the rebounding battle18-8 in the first half to now down 20-22???

 

[walkenvol]

Our inability to take over this game is frustrating!

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

Our big guys have been pretty awful

 

[Orangeslide]

Wofford is bringing it. The longer we let them hang, the more energy they will bring. They are matching us physically

 

[OrangeInKy]

Because we're letting them do the one thing that can keep them in it.

Yes, and if Igor did what he's supposed to do, that ball is going the other direction and that shot isn't there

 

[Woodlawn VOL]

GBO

 

[TrapVol]

It seems as though the Officials pick on Phillips more than any other. I just don't get it.

Was thinking the same thing. It looks like they called fouls on him for just going for the rebound.

 

[volinbama256]

As I said earlier, at this rate, we will pull our usual 2 games and out routine and be a big disappointment for the media to scorch us on... Hey Rick, how about coming into the tourney for once polished, poised, focused, and confident??? NOT impressed.

 

[RockyTop140]

Man, just have to wonder how much Estrella could help us this year

 

[BigOrangeFanatic]

Hopefully, this is us getting our stinker out of the way in game 1. Just bad basketball. Leaving guys wide open on the perimeter for a team that basically only shoots 3 balls.

Yep. If...if we make it to UK, they'll hit about 15 on us.
