I’m a fan so not calling out individuals, but I feel like I just watched the Wizard of Oz. It’s not the system as much as we don’t play with heart, courage or brains. If we’re going to get blown out can’t do it with seniors, sit them and sometimes juniors. Seniors are bringing nothing to the table or in this case the court. Freshman are talented and going to be good but I’m afraid they have hit the freshman wall. Not giving up we could still win a couple of this gauntlet schedule. First we have to find some heart and courage. I’m a big Kim fan really hoping she can turn it around.

I thought that Coach Barnes's teams were built around defense. UK looked like they were running a layup line against the Vols. That's a bad recipe when you can't score. Those 2 games against UK were a tough watch.

It’s the system. And the sad part is it could easily be fixed. You could take SC roster and I’m willing to bet those players would walk out the door pissed from being substituted out the game every 1 1/2 to 2 minutes.
I’m 100% going to say I support these Tennessee players. No other roster in the country on this level is being asked to do this for a reason. I hope they can muster some kind of success or lesson out of this as LVs. They deserve better. GBO🍊.

Very low IQ I counted 10 very dumb plays just in the first quarter.

The Vols miss more shots 5 feet from the basket more that anyone. Just make half of them and hit a higher rate of free throws and you win a lot more games. When Carry played for Vandy he was a beast. The Vols coaches must have him all messed up.

This seasons Vols team is mostly soft of defense. They look lost a lot, especially in the paint on defense and get beat easily.

Gillespie has to be told to stop indiscriminately throwing up the ball from 3 point land. He had stopped this the last few games and they ran things through Ament more. It seemed they abandoned Ament for the first half of the second half.

They don't have the aggressive instincts to puts teams away when having a comfortable lead. A 14 point lead and a 17 point lead are just games you must find ways to win, at least 1 of them......
