The Official #7 Tennessee vs. #13 Maryland Game Thread, 4:30 PM ET, FS1

[TheBigOne10]

Phillips is smooth

 

[VolsSportsFan]

The good news is Maryland is worse at the moment.

 

[JRVOL11]

this is uglyyy

 

[volsarelife1]

Awaka is going to be something special

 

[Clad in Big Orange]

Not sure what to call this event so far.

 

[Willy14]

Awaka getting some really good minutes so far. Love his rebounding ability.

 

[Ernest T. Vol]

1 for 9 standing under the goal

 

[TheMookieMonster]

We are never going to be invited back to Barclays or Madison Square Garden again. This is actually just really funny. I’m not even mad.

 

[Lankykong]

I love the announcers ignoring that the ball is made of lead. Serious chance for 0% 3PT shooting today

 

[tnvols72]

Need someone else running the offense. That was two really bad decisions by Vescovi

Nothing usually happens good when Vescovi drives and leaves his feet

 

[berryvol]

This is a damn battle. I love how they’re letting them play so far.

 

[kiddiedoc]

Just one ugly ugly start of a basketball game

 

[Voljayton]

They are playing super physical. I'm glad we have Awaka in there with some muscle

 

[Ttucke11]

Awake in quite early. Also idk what it is about the paint but as soon as we are in it we lose all touch.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

this is uglyyy

Understatement.

 

[joevols89]

Well I did not expect us to try to feed Awaka.

 

[T2Vol]

1-11 from the floor is not at ideal start

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Awaka is so damn active on defense, and he's stout. That guy thought he was going to back down the bull and got the horns!

Just need to start making some shots, but I like we're going to the rim and not settling for jumpers.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

So far I'm not getting why we're so bad around the rim. Like they look like me when I played youth league, getting under the basket and kind of wildly throwing it up hoping it goes in.

 

[VEKZY]

Why is Aidoo out?

 

[RockyTop140]

What the heck do our bigs do during practice? Absolutely pathetic

 

[berryvol]

I know our players are getting knocked to the floor

 

[BigSteve09]

UGH

Nobody in college actually shoots that well there, might as well be a flying aircraft carrier.

I think Barnes just wanted to boost our defensive rating
