The Official Tennessee vs. Florida Game Thread, 2:00 PM ET, ESPN

[Border Vol]

I hate that the game has passed by Rick Barnes. Running that "outdated offense" and never making adjustments isn't worth 5,000,000/year. He's not doing his job. Coasting into retirement. Bad defensive scheme

"When we are at our best, we can beat anybody". Rick f'ing Barnes

12-point win and this on your mind?

I think it was supposed to be sarcasm

Sorry for not shading it blue! ☺

 

[vol94]

Just got to end of thread and I’m at work. How did we look today?

 

[Jax_Vol]

Bye Bye tre tre

 

[brockytop]

Nice win. Pretty much dominant from early on.

Pun not intended, but boys better bring their A game tomorrow.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

That sucks, Bama is gonna be tough and just got a lot tougher.

Tomorrow is all about KJ and JS. Need 20 a piece from them.

 

[Doctrippin]

Finebaum just said Fulky in the hospital. They are worried about his eye. You can get a detached retina easy from a blow like that.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

So TB just said, They already know, No Fulky tomorrow. Pons and JJ will split time at the 5.

Olivier hurt?

 

[vol94]

Why are their comments about Barnes needing to retire m, etc?

TN win the game. Did something bad happen or did we almost give the game away? I haven’t had time to read or review stats as at work.
We got the Win so that’s great - survive and advance .

Thanks!

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Olivier hurt?

TB said he would ask about him, but doesnt seem like hes in the plan.

 

[aWhiteLoftonChism]

James & Keon both pushing for a triple double.

Don’t forget Yves!

 

[VolGee4]

Rick Barnes has been pretty darn good in early games in the SECT...much better than our prior coaches.

 

[walkenvol]

Mann had 2 at halftime
28 second half.
Fulky was edging off on him 1st half but Mann just basically bombing 3’s last half

Mann had 18 in the second half....refs had 10 on phantom foul calls

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Pat Adams ladies and gentleman.

 

[aWhiteLoftonChism]

Vescovi has no business guarding Mann. That’s a mismatch.

He did as good as anyone else we had.

It’s going to happen, but we also missed wide open shots. We shot 36% from 3, and I recall at least 3-4 wide open missed ones.

All you need to know about Pat Adams is watching his technical call on Jeronne Maymon. Bunny ears and thin skinned. Too bad we keep seeing him every year.

 

[VOLED]

Bailey never seen a shot he doesn’t like

I like that to a degree, but when there is 3 minutes in the game and you shoot it early in the shot clock - not so much

 

[aWhiteLoftonChism]

Okay, I feel comfortable now. Nice win, hope Fulky is okay. We need him.

Give it your best shot tomorrow, but I'm going in with low expectations.

Idk... we probably need to play small ball vs Bama anyhow defensively due to the drive/3 offense. We may be able to survive tomorrow but I hope he is cleared by NCAA time.

 

[Doctrippin]

We're going to have to beat Bama without Fulky tomorrow. Big challenge.

 

[aWhiteLoftonChism]

Good point...

No not really, more about JJJ and Pons on both ends of floor. Without Fulk, Barnes needs to change defense to defend 3pt. Bama jacked 36 today, most off of turnovers.

The T he called on Maymon in the SECT is one of the worst calls I've ever seen. Ironically, that game was against Florida too.

Bamas gonna jack threes, I agree we have to adjust the D. But KJ and JS are going to have to score and create tomorrow.
