The Official #6 [2] Tennessee vs. #2 [1] Houston Game Thread, 2:20 PM ET, CBS

[zeppelin128]

I love the team....but this is absolutely pathetic. Embarrassing.

This is why BVS is real. Aside from baseball, we always seem to do this across multiple sports on the big stage. Giving me Ohio State vibes.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

This why I didn't want to play UK in the S16. I was afraid we'd focus so much on that game that we'd not have a lot left for this game. Just like the 2019 SECT.

 

[Volnbeers]

Was Chaz leneir left off the tourney roster?

 

[Vfl83]

This team lost to 2 of the three SEC teams they played this year. We can beat them if we keep up

 

[Mid Tenn Vol]

We may have spent the tank against the kitties. We look half asleep out here with no fire. Not even hitting free throws

 

[UTK]

People complaining about the 3s: Houston is an elite defense and is clogging the lanes. They are settling because that is the only thing there.

We have to fight for the midrange and draw some fouls to loosen them up some. We suck as a 3pt team so Houston is happy to let us have that as long as Lanier is guarded tight.

Gonna have to hit 3s. Period. Someone gonna have to step up and make them. Simple as that lol

 

[Berry4Heisman14]

Well we are playing against the best defense in the country. It’s not always what you do wrong. Sometimes you just run into a better team.

Yeah they just seem like a more athletic version of us basically.

 

[Caz]

We look lost and scared to death. Worst time to lay an egg on the biggest stage of the season. Get going Vols!

 

[Nighthawkvol10]

It’s not a choke. Houston was favored.

By 3 points. We're down by 11 not even halfway through the 1st. This is atrocious

 

[tnvols72]

Tn problem is , they have to hope somebody catches fire. We just dont have those go to shooters

 

[GUNTERSVOL]

Keep your cup on Vols fans. We have seen this script before.

Gotta hope they have more fortitude than the less faithful bailing early. Their LONG 3 and that runner that nearly broke the backboard have not helped. The rest is totally on us, especially the defensive lapses. Need to close some ground and work our way back.

 

[Orange931]

Well let me know when we can. Because it’s coming

It might, but I guarantee y’all were panicking against Kentucky too when it was similar the other day with them.

 

[rumaso11]

So we park our bigs when they have 3 big men on the court, incredibly poor coaching

 

[RAVOL]

Not even trying to get to the basket

I'm not sure we are watching same game. We have been trying to get into paint but they're D is great in paint. So the shot open is 3 ball.

 

[Go47]

We’ve never choked a final 4. We’ve been underdogs the past two chances lmao

Houston is good. 1-11 is choking. Correction 1-12.

 

[A-RodWiLks]

This is pathetic lol

 

[vol4eva]

1-11 goodness

 

[Orangeslide]

They have pushed our offense way out They are locking ZZ out of the paint. They are killing us inside.

 

[FlVols]

How bout when we take a shot hitting it. Come on boys!

 

[VolsAgainstTheWorld15]

Going to have to be defense to get us back in this one. It’s going to be hard on offense. We’ve gotta throw them in a scoring drought for four or five minutes to allow ourselves to make up some ground.

 

[tnvols72]

eating Tn D alive

 

[VFL1127]

And another 3 SMH

 

[sportsnut624]

I think y’all need to give Houston some credit. Their D is just better than ours. That’s why we’re not driving to the basket.

Still a pathetic performance, but some of y’all need to give Houston their flowers

Exactly. I mean they are more athletic than us at every single position and play lock down defense. This was always going to take a massive over performance from several of our guys today to win this kne

 

[ttocswob]

Dubar to Felix BOOM!

 

[sechamp2012]

We looked good until the game started
