Tennessee Game Thread

Like the defensive intensity so far

Need to clean up the turnovers, most of them have been kinda lazy ones

Tennessee making a ton of contact, have to fight through it and make the ref blow the whistle

Man their D is fun to watch. Tenacious

You are probably the only person on the board who is having fun watching their D.

Oh believe me it’s also frustrating, but I appreciate good basketball and they are good on that end

depends on how much contact you think should be called in the game of basketball. Refs are letting it go so far, but there are at least 3 that could/should have been called so far on their defenders - Alexander got mugged on one sequence

Wouldn't mind seeing Mason run a bit to make Knecht move on defense since Tennesee is trying to hid him there.

Also lets go Baylor!

Quick ref stats: we’re 0-2 with Matt Potter this year. Losses at UConn and Marq.
Last time we saw Lindsay was the San Diego St game last year.
Last time we saw Tony Padilla was the NCAAT two years ago. The loss to Kansas.

So, yikes.

Why are we playing 15 feet off the three point line on their guys? What the heck is this perimeter off-ball defense?

Maybe I'm seeing things, but Baylor looks exhausted. Is that from guarding Knecht?

So Tennessee got the refs they wanted tonight (if the start shows how they are all night)

We can beat them, though. They are not good on offense outside of Knecht

[Trifecta]

Baylor is expending a lot of energy already on defense and is the only guy scoring. Hopefully he can hold up and Trey can get something going. Would be nice if we at least get Kalk touches...

Hanging in early — but so far Creighton is doing a lot of exactly what the keys to the game said Creighton can’t afford to do — bad live ball turnovers, leaving guys wide open for three, picking up dribble in dead spots.
