MBB OGT: #5 FLORIDA at #8 UcheaT -- February 1, 2025 -- 12:00 Noon [ESPN]

Gators been a second half team all year so still optimistic. Vols got the crowd behind them but not a good shooting team.

 

Offense just has no rhythm whatsoever. Too much standing around. Guys too content hoisting up 3s. Should've had an attack the basket game plan and that would open up the 3 point looks. Disappointing so far

 

I turned it on late, but bad basketball. Lethargic & out of rhythm. I wish we had found a PG in the portal, no more than ever with Clayton hurt. Maybe one of the bench players will be forced to step up now.

 

Bad shooting half. We had some good shots.

Hopefully we can turn it around in the second half. Down by three isn't too bad with how ugly that was.

Let's hope that wasn't a horrible sprain for Clayton.

 

IMO, Martin needs to keep trying to bang to the rim first. Seems like he is trying to compete with Walt for 3s lately.

 

Not calling fouls on UT gives them a big advantage. Push in the back took Clayton out along with the other defender not giving him room to even land on the floor clean. Of course no call at all.

 

. . . and Martin, who has been MIA.

 

Aberdeen brings defense but little offense. Klavzar can bring the offense, which we REALLY need right now.

 

I still don't get why our guards pick up their dribble and everyone just looks at them. I know we've talked about this before. But can anyone give us a good reason?

 

Aberdeen driving was one of the few bright spots of that entire half. Klavzar is not physically ready to battle in the SEC it’s obvious.

 

I tend to think rolled ankles feel much worse at first if they truly aren't bad. I've had it happen multiple times and then be fine. Granted, I'm not playing high level D1 sports. Lol.

 

Yep. He had one successful drive. The rest of the time he dicked around with the ball at the top of the key. As usual.

 

UT couldn't buy a bucket in Gainesville. Here we are with the same. Condon for 3 to start the half...

 

Easy score for Tennessee to open the second half.

 

This start feels very dangerous

 

Can't buy a bucket so far.

 

28-21 Vols

 

Clayton way off and Tennessee on a roll. 30-21 Vols early in the 2nd.

 

What are we doing? Why dump it in to Condon if he is just going to come running back out to the top of the key and give it back?
