The Official Tennessee vs. UMass Game Thread, 2:45pm ET, CBS

Huge block by J-Rich. UMASS is looking to run more this half.

Lead is 17 though.

 

[G0V0LS33]

What in the heck is the deal. They look like they cannot handle pressure at all and Maymon looks like he is scared inside. Lazy passes. UGH

 

[volinreallife]

That was not a foul on stokes. If umassd is going to press Thompson needs to be the pg.

 

[tnvols72]

what a block

 

[Aesius]

If we can get to 60, we win.

 

[Spartacavolus]

Barton has no confidence in his shot right now so feed stokes early so he doesn't get stuck with the ball after we run the clock.

 

[casetopia]

was the umass guy trying to jaw with stokes right before the break?

 

[VolsSportsFan]

It looked like the UMass player traveled before any so-called foul occurred.

 

[rockydoc]

Can a Vol fan ever relax?

 

[tnvols72]

that was a walk not a foul

 

[titansvolsfaninga]

Barton jacked the ball up like that at Memphis too. At least he is consistent...

 

[LittleCat]

Not sure about the block. Looked good though.

Bad call. Was a travel.

 

[drewtigeralum]

Same passive offense as last game 2nd half? Making Barton launch with shot clock down?

Both of Barton's 3's have been wide open after post double teams. Sometimes you just have to knock one down.

 

[Freak]

Looked like it.

 

[patrick]

Vols need to be more assertive on offense and defense - like first half.... look cautious for some reason

 

[govols120]

The second-biggest win of this tournament yet is that I haven't seen the DISH kangaroo commercial since Wednesday.

 

[TeazyT]

CBS loves Tennessee

 

[GoBigOrangeUT]

Relax. The lead is still 17. UMASS had a little motivation but once UT imposes their will again, this game is over

 

[LittleCat]

you can tell umass is getting frustrated. it's been a physical game and they're getting manhandled.

 

[Voltrapnbama]

stokes gets hammered and nothing. Other dude loses balance and a foul gets called. What a joke. And I wish we would slap our hands on the floor after a big run. Act like the game is even and you have to win this half. I'd rather see an emotional team give up some points than one going through the motions!

McRae's Dunk or JRich's block in transition? I jumped up for both :rock:

should run JM behind the dbl team.

 

[advancedrescue27]

No goal tend

 

[patrick]

dang that gy walked

 

[LittleCat]

And yes, that reminds me of the Prince play from a while back.

Good memory.
