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

[volsarelife1]

Zeigler and Lanier a now combined 4/24 and 5 turnovers. Completely **** the bed

 

[Other_Guy]

Duke should beat Houston easily

Honestly, yes.

 

[VFL1127]

Houston gave us every chance to get back in this but we just couldn't hit the shots. Very disappointed to lose this way.

 

[BJWeeks]

It was Final 4 or Bust. So disappointing

 

[UTK]

Welp that one probably does it. Woulda been nice to see an entire game played like the second half, woulda been the battle we all expected.

 

[87&91ALUM]

So frustrating watching this team fail to make shots.

 

[SGMVols]

Way to just roll over

They’re just better. Those 3 or 4 open threes we didn’t get first half would’ve made it closer but we were never going to win this. We ran out of gas.

 

[GiveHim6InSC]

Bob sounds awful on the radio. I hate that this might be his and Bert’s last call. Gonna miss those guys

 

[vol4eva]

Z and Chaz yikes

 

[mackievol]

Get close and their shooters that have horrible form drain 3 3's.

 

[FranklinVFL]

Houston way faster than us.

Feels like UT vs Ohio State in the CFB level difference in team speed.

 

[ashleyyy]

we have a ceiling...Elite 8. idk what it'll take to get above that.

 

[Switch 625]

Instead of cutting it to 9, we immediately let the go back up by 17. Dumb basketball all day.

 

[SGMVols]

So frustrating watching this team fail to make shots.

They’re running on fumes at this point

 

[vavolfan6]

Hate to say it out loud, but a loss like this with the players we have could mmake Barnes rethink retirement. This was a great opportunity and we fell apart..

 

[UTK]

Feels like UT vs Ohio State in the CFB level difference in team speed.

No lol

 

[HeuperDrive]

Not sure if I’ll be getting over this one for a while. Feels like we just got our hearts ripped out and stomped on.

Thanks for everything, Z. Thanks for everything, Shack. And thanks for battling until the end, Gainey. But this one hurts.

 

[VFL1127]

Stop

That's no excuse to lose but it's obvious

 

[Mid Tenn Vol]

We’re done. First half was a S*** show. Played better second half but their still killing us with 3s

 

[Other_Guy]

Houston plays like us on defense, and has a complementary offense to boot.

Their offense hasn't been great, honestly. Missed a lot of makeable shots. Tenn just picked today for their worst performance since Florida.

 

[VOLinAL]

Have to play man and stick on your man, leaving them open with all this double teaming and help defense isnt working. Just forcing us to have to play like that to force turnovers. Just make it respectable and get it under 10.

 

[87&91ALUM]

Great D does not win games. Offense wins games...that is basketball.

 

[volnbama_]

Dumb defense

The risk you run when you trap. Don’t really blame them for switching it up to try to get some turnovers. Houston was the better team

 

[Go47]

Gainey came to play. No one else did. We need offense in the future.

 

[TrueOrange]

That’s quite likely game. Though that’s the problem with being in so much of a hole: any run at all by the other team can likely kill it and as the game goes on pretty much every shot becomes “must makes”.
