The Official Tennessee vs. Iowa Game Thread, 9:10pm ET, truTV

[omghulkhands]

Thompson just made the first quick interior pass this team has made in 3 years

 

[Joe Vols]

As bad as we are playing it's hard to believe this could be just a 7 point game after this free throw

 

[vols 30]

Iowa is mostly 3 star players too, but they have a game plan and are motivated for some reason.

 

[Freak]

This may get ugly. Uglier, I mean.

This team has laid an egg so far. We've been ineffective both offensively and defensively.

 

[Catbone]

I can't believe we're not down 15.

We will be soon.

 

[Memphisvol87]

So do we fire Martin now? or do we keep him so we can see another brilliant half time adjustment and get completely blown out?

 

[qb19]

How do we play the number one team in the nation that close and play this poorly?

 

[YankeeVol]

I can't believe we're not down 15.

Don't worry, we will be soon

 

[GAVol]

That's not good?

It's great if the shot clock is broken.

 

[colvol]

Barton can't play O. Thompson can't play D. Feel bad that Coach Martin has to play one at all times.

 

[breazeale31]

We have no guard play other than Jordan and thats not going to cut it!

 

[GBO18]

Play zone. Thompson is going to get blown by everytime which will cause others to help which will lead to easy shots and open 3's.

 

[k-town_king]

Still a close game.

 

[volinreallife]

Oh look. When you go inside, you score. Big ****ing shocker there.

I'm glad he got it the fourth time.

 

[Knoxvol81]

Where is this defensive presence that Cuonzo preaches and takes so much pride in? I know we would never get Bruce back, but there has to be someone out there (that we can get) better than what we have.

 

[patrick]

Vols cant complain about officiating tonight cause orange are getting every call.

oops, thought they called a foul on Iowa with the body. didnt see a walk there.


they did call the foul

 

[rockydoc]

Jeez, that's a walk even in the NBA!

 

[iKrager]

Blame it on the players. They are choking open shots left and right.

 

[YankeeVol]

It's great if the shot clock is broken.

28 in 35 minutes is pretty good in football IMO

 

[Gruuden]

Same story different day. We can't shoot other than lay ups. What do they do in practice. I mean c'mon.

 

[AllVolinGA]

Don't worry, we will make the needed adjustments at halftime.

 

[DeepSpringsVol]

But but but the SEC deserves more than 3 teams. LOL Our conferences 3rd best team getting owned by a middle of pack Big10. Way to show the committe we belong.

 

[Manvol]

This may be the worst possessible game plan we could have implemented against Iowa.

There's a plan?

 

[Ace]

We are 1-9 from three. Wow!

How do we play the number one team in the nation that close and play this poorly?

Lack of motivation. I know. It's a tourney game
