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

[1985Vols]

Keep your cool guys. Play some defense and don't take stupid shots , McRae and Barton

 

[Voldirector11]

Maymon is playing like he did two years ago. With a passion!

 

[Vols520]

This game has me nervous. Gotta quell the run.

 

[YankeeVol]

Say what you will about Thompson, but the kid has incredible vision with the ball.

Definitely a PG

 

[casetopia]

thompson scares me to death. hate when he's still back court and picks up his dribble.

 

[LittleCat]

Chaz Williams is a tough kid.

 

[patrick]

I really don't know how we can play so well the 1st half and look like this in the 2nd half.

Lead down to 10.

U Mass playing much better than 1st half and Tenn defense getting out of position

 

[bowlinggreenvol]

FT's could be an Achilles heel for this team. Can't keep going to the line and shooting 50%.

 

[Spartacavolus]

Play 1-3-1 here, attack on offense and we win.

 

[Manvol]

That orange is beautiful

 

[volinreallife]

Play 1-3-1 here, attack on offense and we win.

Exactly.

 

[G0V0LS33]

Wow. Looks like we better figure out a switch on D because we are getting handled in the second half thus far. This is not how I wanted to start the sencond.

 

[TeazyT]

If we can withstand this run, just get our lead back out to 16 points this Umass team is dead in the water

 

[GBO97]

We'll be fine. Just gotta calm down and play our game.

 

[SDV]

Good timeout by zo

First time this has ever been said

 

[lincolncovol]

Score please?

 

[Volstylexx]

Melt down will be epic if TN loses this

 

[chef3531]

Run some clock and pound it inside and we win. We get into a footrace like it is right now and taking marginal shots...eh. GBO

 

[gordonr24]

Come out of this timeout and slow the game down. Don't let UMass play at their tempo.

 

[Dergibvol]

vols need to go back to the 1-3-1

 

[golfballs]

can't let this get close. saw what happened to nc state last night. start to wear down by the end of the game...

 

[YankeeVol]

Play 1-3-1 here, attack on offense and we win.

 

[mountainair]

At least UT has had an answer for every run UMass has started.

Another and 1. Missed FT though. Gotta make em.

I'm waiting for the answer. We came out of half time flat and looking to just kill the clock and that's a disastrous combination. We must pick up our pace of play and aggressiveness.

 

[TeazyT]

Chaz Williams is a tough kid, that will regret trash talking the mighty Jordan Mcrae

Fixed it for you

 

[OrangeBalls]

Pace was at our advantage in the 1st half. Definitely, to their advantage in the 2nd half. Need to slow it down.
