Official Game Thread - SECT: Friday, 1pm (ESPN) vs. MSU

[Col_Cathcart]

That doesn’t explain the 8 or 10 misses that were wide open.

Didn’t say we were playing well. Said we were getting mugged inside. 2 things can be true.

 

[Vol737]

This is worse than Exlax

At least Exlax is more reliable and likely to perform when the chips are down.

 

[Volstylexx]

The way we are playing may even cost us the top #2 seed!

You don’t want the top 2 seed if it brackets you with Houston or Purdue. Maybe the silver lining in this is we get shipped out west as the 2.

 

[martyvols]

I would not be the slightest bit surprised if this squad goes out in the first round on the NCAA, what a joke.

Based on the last two games I will be surprised if they don’t.

 

[Putbacks]

Give him 4 FT’s to make up for that one they ignored against A&M….

 

[Sudden Impact]

this sucks

 

[UTS4EVR]

Unless Tennessee can get some stops, and score, the win probability is sinking fast. At the pace they are playing, there won’t be enough possession.

 

[NOLACHUCKEYTOM]

Who cares. Be home before next Sunday either way.

I care and always will!

 

[vavolfan6]

JJJ and Santi 1-9 and 0-5 from 3...literally gane after game with their careers on the line and nothing..

 

[SonOfGodVolforlife]

Regular season Rick

Strikes again. It’s more impressive this year bc Dalton Knecht being on team. Good job Barnes you outdid yourself.

 

[sportsnut624]

Because you fight until the end

That’s stupid as hell

 

[Ernest T. Vol]

3-24 for 3 is unbelievable.

 

[charleyhorse]

Idk how you can just keep sending Aidoo and Awaka out there. The freshman bigs literally couldn’t do worse, and you may as well send a message to your upperclassmen

Agreed that’s a Barnes flaw. loyalty to the end

 

[tnvols72]

I don’t think this is totally on Barnes. Barnes didn’t envision Santi and Gainey stinking so bad. On paper you thought Santi and Gainey would be good shooters. Then also Barnes believed he would have Dillone and Jefferson also.

Well he kept sticking with Santi game after game and he regressed with every game and the same with JJJ. I would rather see Car come in and at least get a sgot up. All Santi does is pump fake 30 times a game and drive and pass it off. Love his D but if he cant score then he is not doing us any good.

 

[vol24/7/365]

This game is over. It's the Tennessee way. It's really just laughable at this point. Thinking we have a championship competitor at this point turned out to be another year of delusion.

We just can't make up for subpar players at a couple of spots.

I really thought they would show up very very strong today! Ugh

 

[Clad in Big Orange]

Besides ZZ and DK, who from the Vols would be snatched up quickly by most other SEC teams. Aidoo would be taken but he has disappeared of late. That’s it really.

 

[Other_Guy]

Because you fight until the end

Not for a Barnes team. They are already gassed. Get the rested for the big dance.

 

[tnvols72]

13 points this half

 

[the_great_pumpkin]

the worst 2 shooters on the floor JJJ and Santi

These two have regressed to the point that I don't know if they will even be missed next year. They both have put on many **** shows this season.

 

[Just a VolinTears]

This needs to serve as a wake-up call for the team. Bad mo going into the tournament, but will have a chance to flip the script

 

[VolsSportsFan]

Didn’t say we were playing well. Said we were getting mugged inside. 2 things can be true.

One thing should be way more concerning to you, and it ain't the reffing.

 

[Kicker82]

There goes my hopes for a final four or better.

This game literally won't mean anything by next Thursday

 

[87&91ALUM]

Fans gotta get louder and off their seats. We need all the help we can get.

 

[Hoggervol]

You sound like a KY fan

Prove me wrong, coach.

 

[NOLACHUCKEYTOM]

You don’t want the top 2 seed if it brackets you with Houston or Purdue. Maybe the silver lining in this is we get shipped out west as the 2.

Top 2 will go out west with 4th 1 most likely.
