*** Official #23 Tennessee vs #6 IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

[StLouisClone]

Even a Jefferson who doesn't jump could have contributed 3-4 defensive rebounds.

 

[Cyburbbalz]

Well, basically a tie game,
Milan has been irrelevant for the most part.

Concerns? We are just being destroyed on the glass and have 3-4 really bad turnovers.

If Tennessee starts making shots we are screwed

My gut says Tennessee pulls away with about 8 min left.

You gut is straight rot

I forgot to add, you can start to feel the loss of Jefferson more in this game due to the quality of opponent, especially when we get deeper into the bench. Also need to use the other side of the rim on some of those layup attempts, as they do have a heck of a shot blocker.

Or dish it out to Mom...That could have happened on one layup that got blocked.

Are these SEC announcers?

Sure seems like it

 

[Jeffreyisu]

Wow. Bruce Pearl. A talking contradiction.

 

[cloneclone]

We have to shoot +60% this half. I cant see the rebound issue changing

It doesn't need to do a 180, it just needs to be like 30% better than the first half

Wow. Bruce Pearl. A talking contradiction.

His poorly tailored suit hurts me

I can think of 4-6 times we just stood there with guys blocked out…no one grabbed the ball.

That’s an easy fix.

Slap Blake around and make him mad enough to get aggressive on the boards. Or put in Plata.

Tennessee is going to focus on cleaning up the turnovers in the second half, they won't do it as much. We have to counter and keep them off the offensive glass. Those two adjustments get made by each team, it comes down who can hit shots in the half court offense.

 

[Kinch]

Need to plant Milan along the baseline. A couple of Dirk fadeaways will really open it up for Tamin to drive.

 

[helechopper]

I don’t see how we keep them off the boards in the second. Better defense and scoring on steals + Mommy = our ticket to Michigan on Sunday.

Even a Jefferson who doesn't jump could have contributed 3-4 defensive rebounds.

I'd love to hear him giving a little "tough love" to his teammates at HT in regards to their blocking out and rebound seeking lack of effort that half.

Teams don’t “start making shots” against us. Who’s more likely to start making shots, a tired TN team or Milan?

 

[cytor]

Anyone getting the radio feed yet?

 

[helechopper]

MICHIGAN OMG MICHIGAN!!!! More Michigan!!!!!

 

[CycloneTrackMan]

TJ will make adjustments. We got this.

 

[ianoconnor]

Nervous..

 

[sj4]

All the things we're not doing well and.....it's a one point game. Wait till we start doing them well

 

[Old87]

Time to light a fire under Milan and get him playing aggressively in the second half. 6-8 and has zero rebounds and four shot attempts in the game.

 

[CycloneVet]

Would have been nice to get Ament his 3rd. Oh well let’s get it early second half
