The Official Tennessee vs. #6 Alabama Game Thread, 1:00 PM ET, ESPN

[BreatheUT]

Lol 10th year senior Petty celebrates.

He was the mouth breather poking at the fans in the last game after they won.

 

[Orangeblooded615]

The refs are rough, but every freaking game our offense stalls. Pass the ball. Get out fast.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

I think we might be toast....

Yup, dont have our legs

 

[tnvols72]

We needs some points from Pons to have a chance

 

[Chris4Vols22]

Next few possessions will be telling. May possibly decide the game.

 

[aWhiteLoftonChism]

Keon and Springer are killing us with turnovers Lord!

 

[golfballs]

It was inevitable that Bama would go on a run.

 

[Switch 625]

Barnes waits until a 13-0 run to call a timeout. Cant do that

He might have been taking a nap.

 

[1985Vols]

We might not be if the effort were there but it looks like we suddenly lost interest. What is that? It’s weird.

I think it’s the officiating

 

[chuckb1448]

Vescovi biggest problem is getting caught in the air with no place to pass

I dont fuss about Barnes but goodness gracious hasn't he told Vescovi to stop dribbling into La La Land

 

[VolPack22]

They’ve reverted back to pissing their pants whenever the ball gets pressured. If we had a floor general like Jordan Bone on this team we would probably never lose a game.

 

[hUTch2002]

He has two turnovers, that’s it

V only has 2? Have they come in the last minute? It feels like more. He played well the first half.

 

[peerless98]

Barnes waits until a 13-0 run to call a timeout. Cant do that

That was not his first timeout during this run

 

[VolsSportsFan]

We might not be if the effort were there but it looks like we suddenly lost interest. What is that? It’s weird.

We literally look like we go brain dead and forget how to play basketball. The turnovers are just ridiculously stupid and yet we KEEP F'N DOING THEM!

 

[VOLinAL]

gotta love that big "ROLL TIDE" graphic put up ESPN before the commercial break. do they do stuff like that for other teams?

seems cheesy and weird

They literally do Rocky Top ones all the time. Just did it earlier.

 

[cjbongoinstructor]

How many steps were taken on that last lay in?

 

[calban]

Regroup. Reset.

 

[TrumpedUpVol]

No way that wasn't a foul on Alabama.

 

[Chris4Vols22]

I don't disagree with that whistle. A lot of no calls on hand checks.

 

[tnvols72]

wow no call

 

[hUTch2002]

I think it’s the officiating

That doesn’t impact our effort. It shouldn’t anyway.

 

[chef3531]

He has two turnovers, that’s it

How many times has he been stuffed after stupid drives and putting himself in a terrible position?

 

[VolArmy74]

The refs are rough, but every freaking game our offense stalls. Pass the ball. Get out fast.

In this case it's because if we try to drive and any Alabama player flops we get a charge call. But they can hack at arms with no consequences.

 

[Putbacks]

CALL THE FOUL, CHEATERS!

 

[1985Vols]

Where’s the foul?
