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

Wow, not trying to start anything here, but why so negative, we're not playing great, but this is our one shot. Why not just stay positive and hope our team can rally. Nothing gets accomplished by pointing out the negatives. Help the Vol Nation feel alive tonight and contribute some positive comments. This is NCAA Tournament baby. 2nd half is ours! GO VOLS!

Have you watched this season?

Anyone else get the feeling that Martin is eating chicken wings right now instead of making adjustments?

 

[OrangeInKy]

It would be awesome if someone would make a 'brick by brick' joke.

 

[YankeeVol]

Minor miracle we cut it to 3. If we play defense, we can win. I have zero faith in our offense.

If we can shoot 45% we can win

Why did no one realize these guys had length on us, theyre shortest player is like 6'7 and our tallest is 6'8. It takes away our biggest strength - offensive rebounding

White boys can't jump?

 

[colvol]

Really?!? Stokes is playing like a scared little girl.

You're trippin

 

[tennrich1]

Feed stokes. Feed stokes. Feed stokes. Someone get the message to Counzo.

They're trying

 

[utvolkyle06]

absolutely amazing, they are down 3.

a lot of people have complained about officiating, but the whistle has favored tennessee tonight.

You kidding they hammered without calls all night the last play was a good example Thompson hammered we were lucky Mac got it for put in. Yes they called more fouls on Iowa, but a lot of no calls under the basket

 

[Knoxvol81]

Damn Jordy and Stokes are keeping us alive.

Just imagine how god aweful next year will be.......

No coaching

 

[vol-un-tear]

Ok way to finish the half strong!

Have you watched this season?

I have. But that doesn't matter now. Now is the NCAA Tournament. Clean slate. Support your boys! GO VOLS!

Armani Moores late season play is getting me more optimistic for next year. He is a player who can create opportunitys. If Richardson can get things going, the 2nd half will be all vols!

Makes you wonder why he didn't play earlier and more.

 

[TNVolunteerGrad]

I like how everyone is stoked that we're only down by 3...


Have you guys learned nothing this year??

Sure as hell beats being down 12.

 

[k-town_king]

They should of had a gameplan

They have to hit the open shots. We have had plenty.

Well a brick house can't be blown down according to 3 little pigs

That is brilliant, creative and simply awesome. Please run for Senate as you got my vote

 

[ranradVOL]

Really?!? Stokes is playing like a scared little girl.

Dude almost has a double double in the first half. Get real.

 

[VolAllen]

Sure as hell beats being down 12.

Statistically, not really.

 

[govols120]

If you had told me we'd be playing Iowa and would have 26 at the half, I'd guess we were down by double digits. I'll take it for now. Transition D needs to tighten up (it did late in the half) and with Iowa's foul trouble, Stokes and Maymon's offensive output becomes that much more important. Also, Thompson took more shots than Maymon that half, which should never happen, ever.

 

[VinylVols]

I think I know someone who is wondering the same thing. #FreeArmaniMoneyMoore

 

[DoubleA]

Good sign at our poor play and only down 3... But the halftime adjustments will be critical. Think conzo can put it together for 1 half?

Martin's half time adjustments have not been stellar.

We've learned it's better to be down three than down 20. The later looked like a real possibility for a bit.
