The Official Tennessee @ #13 Auburn Game Thread, 12:00 PM ET, CBS

[Lankykong]

I almost wonder if this lineup without Fulkerson is a better matchup against a team like Auburn. They seem to be playing very well and I would hate to disrupt that.

I think Fulk could play the 4 but I’m worried about his matchup with Wiley. I guess he could play the 5 if Wiley was out

 

[RAVOL]

Barnes has said all year we have shot the ball well in practice and has been surprised that we have struggled so much during games.

 

[Lankykong]

Vescovi was out for a lot of that time too

 

[SouthKnoxVOL]

Tell ya what... We just have to keep answering auburn when they come punching back because its going to happen in the 2nd half. This win would completely flip our chances at the big dance.

Pons, Johnson, James, Vescovi, and Bowden are all good shooters that should all be 33% from 3 or above I think

CBS pretending that Tennessee has no bubble chances while acting like Arky and Alabama are practical locks.

Not complete flip as we still need to win two more afterward but yeah

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

Maybe he just needs to take the rest of the day off...

Naw. Barn is making halftime adjustments right now to slow down Bowden. TN needs to counter by unleashing Fulk.

18-13 gets us in discussion

 

[Lankykong]

CBS legit hates us. Joking but dang their commentators do. Acting like losing to us is worse than Vandy or something

 

[TennesseeFan07]

Auburn scores in waves. They are going to go on a run.

I'm not too fond of CBS so we're even...

GO BIG ORANGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, I’m still concerned about this one

That is fine in my opinion. Have always like to be looked upon as the underdog. I say let our actions on the court shut their mouths. haha

that's where the body blocks come in...make them sprain an ankle!!!!!!!!!!!!

GO BIG ORANGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They should. Hopefully we continue today and the rest of the year.

Sounds like me the first, and only, year I played basketball. I had always played football (old dumb lineman) and could not separate football from basketball. I was always capable of some good, hard fouls. hehe

The 1st foul on Fulk was BS

 

[RAVOL]

I know. We actually because of schedule have the most to gain. Starting now.

 

[VolunteerCeltic]

Tennessee needs to attack the paint immediately in the 2nd half!

 

[tnvols72]

Just hope we see the 1st half Bowden in the 2nd half

 

[hUTch2002]

Two of those were awful calls on vescovi

That walk was bad but it was also unnecessary. Sometimes he looks to pass too much. I though he had enough advantage to make a play on his own there.

 

[LSG410EC83]

Five second violation, how many times has that been truly called this year. Oh well, here it goes

 

[tnvols72]

I think Nkamhoua was a bigger factor to be honest. I think the announcer just didn’t want to pronounce his name

Uros played decent though

Neither one did nothing special. Uros mad their big 2nd guess themselves and one was a turnover.
