The Official #6 Tennessee @ #1Auburn Game Thread, 8:30 PM ET, ESPN

[Putbacks]

Auburn got a gift!

 

[n_huffhines]

He literally is our offense

Hence, 51 points

 

[GAVol21]

He should, Chaz is worthless in big games. Misses his shots badly, dribbles off his foot, gets blocked from behind. Hell, I would sit him the rest of the game

Yeah. Point is Lanier isn't learning. Frustrating

 

[ndubvols]

I was ok with the officiating as it was fairly equally bad. Yes there at the end there were a couple bad calls but I expected that the entire game.

The walk call on okpara was bad, really not even sure he still had control of the ball either. Changed momentum quite a bit.

 

[K-town Vol Fan]

We lost this game because Zakai Zeigler shot 15x. We can't let him be our offense. He's shooting less than 38% on the season.

Well when Chaz and Gainey are throwing up bricks who do you suggest?

 

[knoxchief]

Muffed...we good but, we ain't lucky. Playing home teams are hard to beat.

Especially when the refs shove it straight up you bung hole!

 

[NATHAN05]

Broome got that thug going on..........dude actually irritates me and this is the first time I've seen him ever. I dont like that stare down like that and I'm surprised Bruce hasn't called him out on that, several times instead of hustling back down the court he backtracks to stare down one of our players like it's some type of hood street fight..........just classless.

 

[Memphisvol87]

To have two shots at it with a rebound.

Yeah that idea worked great…..

 

[Anti-shunshinepumper]

Man, Rick Barnes just has nothing coming out of a timeout out. We played hard though. Zz is a beast and a warrior! Igor is trash. Start giving Dunar some play time anytime we have a lead

 

[JMSqb11]

I thought ZZ fired it off a hair too fast. Like they only had 3 seconds instead of 9

I loved the call. Everyone crashed the boards too. Just mistimed it.

 

[YankeeVol]

Well Yankee is know for the worst sport takes on the board.

Lulz

 

[Putbacks]

Doug Shows sucks

 

[jim285pro]

Meh. I’m ok with it. Would like to see some better possessions there at the end.

 

[volsforever27]

I’d still like to zz drive and see what would happen.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

I don’t mind a 3 & then try a put back. But ZZ had been getting to the rim nearly every drive, would have much rather forced the issue. Maybe get an And 1 or a lob when they crash to help

 

[Clad in Big Orange]

Seems like the Vols fortunes in sports has reached its end since the football team drew the buckeyes. It was a good run.

 

[VFL1127]

It was a quick shot, but he had a good look.

Not really! He shot a fade away 3 from the corner.

 

[Other_Guy]

That travel call on Okpara was criminal and may have cost us the game.

Yeah and I didn't really like the call on Gainey that fouled him out. I thought he went up and Broome jumped backwards into him. Watching on my phone tho so maybe I didn't see it right.

 

[Franklin_Vol09]

Broome fouls constantly. No calls. If he misses a shot, he cries constantly looking for a foul. Easily the most unlikable player in the SEC

 

[volsarelife1]

Not sure I like having our 2nd worst 3p shooter taking that.

 

[Caz]

It was an open three that lead to an opportunity for an offensive rebound. The ply was literally drawn up perfectly, we just barely missed the shot

Great play call, but we just don’t seem to ever be clutch and pull one of these out! Heart breaker, but these guys played their asses off all night.

 

[Vols All Day]

Chaz needs to step up. Chaz is getting subbed out for defense and he should be the one taking the last shot. He needs to find a way to get some separation between him and the defender. Chaz should be offended that Coach Barnes did not give him a shot to redeem himself after Vandy.

 

[JCP201]

I’m disappointed with the loss but proud how they fought.

Disappointed with Igor’s play. He was brought here to help score and post play.

Wasn't he playing hurt? Then somebody must have hit him in the nose (no call, of course) And Gainey sick, too. It was a good fight.

 

[rumaso11]

Igor got carried away going to the rim. Nice thought by he didn’t finish.

Igor should have never done what he did, very very poor play to try and take it to the hole with two defenders directly in his way. He lost the game for Tennessee right there.

 

[vol94]

Why in the world did they let Zakai take the corner 3 and not Lanier?

B/C ZZ had an incredible game while Chaz lacked confidence.
