The Official #8 Tennessee vs. #4 Florida Game Thread, 1:00 PM ET, ESPN

[BigOrangeFanatic]

Clayton is a baller.

Might be the best player in the country right now. We had no answer for him.

 

[knoxchief]

We were hitting most of our FT yesterday and that was the difference in the game! Can't miss as many as we have and expect to win the game!

 

[OrangeBeachVol]

FL Gators won't make it far in the big toun!

Wow want to put some $ on that prediction?

 

[BeardedVol]

Igor is so bad

The occasional 3 he sinks doesn't seem to make up for the downside of having him on the court.

 

[molsen81]

Boswell just wants to shoot……..

 

[Anti-shunshinepumper]

Igor hit that three in the opening minutes and then nothing. 1 FG made and 1 rebound is inexcusable with 2 minutes left

Not good. He has to be better if we are going to have a chance of making it a final 4, which is ultimately my goal.

 

[walkenvol]

At this point, I think I would start pulling starters. There are bigger fish to fry…..don’t need anyone getting hurt.

Refs are doing that for you

 

[RockyTop140]

Florida too good off the dribble and they make enough 3s that force you to close out giving them the driving lane.

Multiple guys that are threats to take it to the rim as well as some seriously talented big men. Hoping we don’t meet them in the tourney

 

[Stephen A Smith]

Yeah they fought hard this second half. Couldn’t overcome a tough first half.

5 seed?

 

[rocketskates]

This is what scares me going into the tournament. With our aggressive playing style the officials can literally dictate the game.

 

[SlyStone]

Good chance Gators make it to the Final Four. Perhaps we will meet again.

God I hope not.

 

[VOLifornia]

Dooooo Whattttt!

 

[vols 30]

He's worthless

He's had a few good games since SEC play, but too many similar too today

 

[molsen81]

The crazy thing is that Igor could seriously be the X factor

 

[Clad in Big Orange]

Bigs always burn Barnes in most games that matter. They have to hope their path is lucky like Bamas was.

It has been the Achilles for several seasons

 

[Sudden Impact]

doug shows has made more calls to influence this game and the outcome, now even it out with calls. Sure there were some fouls and then there were not. The games we have lost this year shows has reffed in over half of them.
Foul calls in his area were critical to this game. When you have 4 or more players with 4 or more fouls you have some cooking going on.

 

[OrangeInKy]

all the players getting blasted in this thread today were all a huge part of beating Auburn yesterday , FYI

 

[knoxchief]

The occasional 3 he sinks doesn't seem to make up for the downside of having him on the court.

Just don't think they will pull all the BS foul calls they have in this Game in the Big one

 

[BigOrangeFanatic]

UF gonna be a hot pick to win it all and rightfully so. They look like a complete team right now. They just can hurt you from anywhere on the court.

 

[Other_Guy]

Huh? I don’t see fouls as a lack of effort. Team has fought hard. Haven’t given up even when things seemed dire. Some questionable calls and Florida knocking down tough shots.

Not just tough shots but dagger 3s.

And yes, lot of Tenn squads fold or don't show up and with this team you feel they always have a chance.

 

[tnvols72]

? No they are not.

Well maybe not on the defensive end. Tn ability to shoot the ball is the difference

 

[LieutenantNeyland]

5 seed?

He means 5 overall seed

 

[RockyTop140]

This is what scares me going into the tournament. With our aggressive playing style the officials can literally dictate the game.

Florida can out physical us. They’ve been doing it all game

 

[Voljayton]

oh well. See ya NCAAT

 

[SugarVols]

Almost made the comeback but refs assured that wouldn’t happen
