The Official #9 Tennessee @ Texas A&M Game Thread, 2:00 PM ET, ESPN2

[Vol49er]

Favored by 10.5 and won by 14.. We suck guys.

Clearly the take away for many

 

[I4Vols]

Was it last year that fouls called in Sec games were higher than a kite?

No, it was this year vs bama

 

[volsarelife1]

Clearly the take away for many

That's what it seems like.. I'll take this type a win 10/10 times

 

[ricepatty]

14 point win. Meh. Elite defense once again. Offense is going to cost us some winnable games if we don’t shape up.

I also would’ve liked to win by 20+ but we didn’t allow any runs and scored when we needed to. This was also a slow game so possessions were limited.

 

[chuckiepoo]

Dykes and Ravech talking about how confident they were in the Zags, Baylor, Michigan and Iowa. Baylor is down one at the half to TCU.

 

[Namorto1]

The only disappointing part of this game was only shooting 9 free throws. With how physical A&M played we should have attacked the rim a lot more than we did especially in the 2nd half.

 

[creekerballer]

Good day, we covered and I also took the +340 odds for someone to win by 11-15 on FanDuel.

 

[Border Vol]

14 point win. Meh. Elite defense once again. Offense is going to cost us some winnable games if we don’t shape up.

A win is a win however.

 

[BowlBrother85]

Keon's baseline drive, scoop and score to give us a 10-6 lead was awesome. That is the athlete that I thought we had. Great days to come... this team is only getting started. We will be much better in a month. Give it time!

 

[sechamp2012]

A win is a win however.

Yep usually 8 out of 10 SEC games will be tight games. We've beat the vegas line today & vs Missouri not so much vs Bama

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

Margin would have been much more but aTm took 9 more free throws and grabbed 8 more rebounds. Shooting percentages were far away in TN’s favor. Defense and shooting won the game.

Bama looks pretty good

 

[TheMagnificantOne]

Looks like it’s going to be another down to the wire game. Hope I’m wrong.

You are

 

[VolunteerCeltic]

Good win on the road, need to get Fulky and Pons going more

 

[Pride85]

Come on guys .... stop and a bucket . GOTTA win by 20!

Why? It counts even if you win by 1.

 

[Pride85]

That's what I'm saying and was called a troll for it.

If the show fits. We won by more than the people who supposedly know said we should. I will never understand those on this board that always find something to whine about. Your lives must really be horrible.

 

[Pride85]

You won't be saying that come tournament time when we play good teams. But continue being blind if you wish.

Yeah, I know; win by 30 every game or we are trash. I would be happy if they won every game for the rest of the year by 1 point. My heart might not take it, but my brain would. If you can't enjoy a win where we covered at least, then maybe you need to rethink your priorities.

 

[movinonup]

Let me know.

If you have tickets you are wanting to sell and not at ticket master prices, let me know. Would have to be weekend game since live in West Tennessee.

 

[munsterlander]

So Dykes talked about how automatic Vescovi is from the free throw line and he’s missed 2 free throws since then...

I find you guilty of jinxing and sentence you to 10 games without Dr. Pepper!

 

[djohnnyg]

Good win. We all want total domination wins by 20+ points every game...but these types will be more common. As far as the ncaa tourney goes...that's a total crapshoot. One off game and you're done.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

14 points is a large margin when the pace was as deliberate as it was.

Fair point. I have very few qualms with how we played today. As I said, the defense is elite. Hard to play much better than that. It’s just a game that felt like we should have won by more. I’m not upset about the margin of victory, more just with some of the mistakes we made today that I would like to see cut out if we want to win the SEC.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Damn good win we played our style of game and held them to 54. Also Auburn is 500 and still hasn't won a SEC game yet...

Santi played a great game, Springer played really well too. Really wish EJ had stepped up a bit more, this was the type of game he should of been able to contribute more and helped us with rebounding. On to the next, wonder if South Carolina will be the opponent or if we'll have to find someone new?

 

[cwbytruckers]

Maybe so but I’d still prefer him to speak about the game vs his family history

I thought it was interesting.

 

[tennesseeduke]

14 Pt road win at A&M and the game was never in jeopardy! We are pretty good!
