The Official #6 Tennessee @ #9 Arizona Game Thread, 10:30 PM ET, ESPN2

[TrapVol]

To be fair Dykes has been talking about the foul and free throw disparity a lot in a subtle way

I've noticed that too. He won't say it right out, but it's implied.

 

[BreatheUT]

We are going to lose this one to mistakes.

 

[zjcvols]

sorry but when your shooting nothing but 3s and your not even attempting to drive the lane then you will not win too many games

We drive the lane plenty. We just can’t get anywhere with it because only guy can break down a defense

 

[tnvols72]

key cost us a lot at the end. threw a turnover, missed two big threes in a row

in defense of him. that turnover was not on him

 

[SonOfGodVolforlife]

Ballgame, the refs gave this game away man. I hate this bs I hope vol twitter lights up Arizona and dykes for this bs. The only way they win is bc of the refs.

 

[The Dog]

Nevermind

 

[AthensVol2007]

Lol there wasn’t anything he could’ve done there

Yes there is; you hammer him.

 

[vol94]

They fought back and had a couple of chances to take the lead but jacking up three ball. That was a long three ball for Z.

Barnes must recruit someone who can dribble penetrate to the rim and/or make a mid range jumper.
Down 6 gonna be a tough task to overcome.

 

[TennTom]

Uros a liability down the stretch. Wide open missed 3 by Key.

 

[Go47]

Common theme - bricks when Vols need to knock one down.

But that’s the game most times.

 

[GUNTERSVOL]

Officials first half was just too much to overcome. Can't spot a top 10 team 10 points and win on their floor very often. Had a shot and failed.

 

[ndubvols]

Well this thread’s off the rails after a good showing at a tip 10 team.

 

[Vol49er]

I feel like others will feel differently but im surprised Key is not getting more heat. He's missed several great looks, has three turnovers. Team worst -12 +/-

 

[Larkin]

Score here or it’s over

 

[GiveHim6InSC]

Would love to have JJJ tonight. Really need him for these games.

Why’s he out anyway? I thought there was no damage per all tests and diagnoses

 

[Creeker]

Those misses by Key will do it, but we were still the better team tonight. If this game is even called slightly even we win by 5 or more.

 

[SGMVols]

Would love to have JJJ tonight. Really need him for these games.

If sacrificing this game was necessary to have him healthy down the road, it’s worth it. Losing this one doesn’t damage the resume one bit.

 

[Caz]

sorry but when your shooting nothing but 3s and your not even attempting to drive the lane then you will not win too many games

This you say is true. This is one reason we aren’t going to the FT line

 

[TheMookieMonster]

I freaking hate losing. Especially at 1:00 AM. Blood is boiling now I won’t be able to sleep for awhile.

 

[kell7517]

Offensive foul every time Ballo gets the ball but no call

He’s elbowed the defender to create space the last two shots he’s made.

 

[zjcvols]

Uros a liability down the stretch. Wide open missed 3 by Key.

Clumsy and fell over going for a ball he had no chance to get. Fake hustle at its finest cost us two points

 

[C-south]

If Vols received an equal whistle, Vols might be ahead.

You’re not going to get whistles missing wide open shots.

 

[IH8TheHaslams]

We need Freddie

 

[SonOfGodVolforlife]

We drive the lane plenty. We just can’t get anywhere with it because only guy can break down a defense

Exactly, that was the biggest thing I knew we would lose when chandler left. Z IS THE ONLY GUY WHO CAN BREAK DOWN THE DEFENSE!

 

[VolunteerCeltic]

Are you misspelling his name on porpoise?

Just spelling it like the announcers have pronounced it
