Always a bridesmaid - Never the Bride!

[EverythingOrange]

Very Disappointing! 15 points in the First Half & Rebounding KILLED us! I love Coach Ric Barnes - But, the VOLS just couldn’t get it done, today……

Got to knock on the door a few times before it opens. Similar to the baseball time.

 

[K-town Vol Fan]

We weren't ready to play. Bottom line.

 

[TAF]

Didn't even SHOW UP to the Wedding until the 2nd Half!!!

 

[NEO]

Bruh we weren’t the bridesmaid today.

We was the nasty hooker at that bachelor party.

We got used and abused.

I think this was a no open bar wedding.

The moment certainly appeared too big for us, and that was disappointing. A completely different team came out of the tunnel than the one that whipped Kentucky 2 nights ago.

Correct. Even the color commentator said we looked timid to start the game. ZZ and Lanier 5-27. We led in one category - most turnovers. It was a classic UT choke.

Look at how UF and Auburn responded with big runs to win games . . . We cannot do that because we are not good on offense. 15 points in a half is ridiculous.

Rude, but true.

If we even hit like 4-5 of the first 18 3s... it's a tie game.

 

[CamVol8]

Just pathetic performance. Would have sucked losing either way but everything was terrible from coaching, shooting, FTS, turnovers, defense, etc. We didn’t even play our B or C game, that was an F.

 

[Anti-shunshinepumper]

We may not have won today but we keep consistently getting closer. Our final 4 is coming in the next 2-3 years. I truly believe that.

Agreed. They weren't bad shots, we just couldn't make any.

We will never make a final 4

 

[NOLACHUCKEYTOM]

After next weekend everybody will be a bridesmaid except one team. It was a great season! GBO!!

very embarrassing period.cant get over the hump.i doubt we ever will until they anti up with the big bucks.js

 

[Go47]

Agree 100%.

Only scorer was Gainey. Needed at least one more scorer to make it a game.

 

[Mid Tenn Vol]

We have to have more offensive production. Your not gonna win a championship when you average 65-70 pts a game

 

[Go47]

We can’t say today was unprecedented. We played like this against UF . . . And had other games where we could not score. All teams struggle to score at times . . . But it is an argument of degree. The extent to which we cannot score when cold is remarkable.

 

[HeuperDrive]

We will never make a final 4

I’m sure Bama fans were saying this before 2024. If they can make it to one, we sure as hell can too.

 

[Vol in Buckeye Land]

We will never make a final 4

We have made the elite eight 3 times. All three have come within the last 15 years. Two have come within the last 13 months.

Don’t be so sure.

 

[Chris4Vols22]

I don't buy the idea of UT never making a Final Four. We just need the right pieces and the right leadership that actually wants UT men's bball to succeed.

 

[SugarVols]

Don’t be so sure.

I hear you but destined to not get over that hump.

 

[Special Ed]

As far as I'm concerned, the tourney's over.
There's no one left to root for.

not really. Tony V resurrected from the grave a dead program. Went to the World Series multiple times. Won a Natty quick. He’s in another league of coaching. Barnes is amazing. But don’t know if he will ever win a national championship. He’s been coaching for years. I think he needs to recruit a big post player that you can feed the ball to. 3 balls cold to much as we saw in first half.
