[TN-POSSUM]

They could've tied it with 2 free throws.

They would have had to make them. OT is better than miracle 3.....ALL DAY LONG

 

[reVOLution33]

Barnes F’n Ball Baby!!!

 

[ACvol3]

We have some bad decision makers in crunch time.. which shouldn’t be that way with the experience we have

 

[RiseToTheTop]

what a massive fall for this team

 

[Weezer]

What was the foul at the last second? That doesn't get called 99% of the time, but they decide to call it at the end of a game? They were reviewing a foul just before that. They were looking for anything to call.

Not sure what they called, but Vescovi had missed that shot, too.

 

[Rizzo924]

what did awaka do for them to call a foul before Santi’s shot was even off?

lane violation

 

[Enki_Amenra]

Got out coach for 3/4 of the game. Again -13 spread.

Spread should've never been that much. Should've been around -8.5 to -9.5. . . still way off either way.

 

[SoilVol]

Coach Barnes didn’t choke at the line …… again!

Coach Barnes made the coaching moves to put the team back in it. Coach Barnes didn't injure Phillips or JJJ. Coach Barnes didn't make Zakai foul out on a dumb play. Coach Barnes didn't miss his free throws.

But yeah, totally, Barnes' fault

 

[Gilbert]

We’re staring down the barrel of 5 straight losses.

 

[NYCVolunteer]

Can anyone explain why after Vescovi hit those FTs with around 12 secs left Barnes called a TO to let Mizzou draw something up and regain some composure while Mizzou didn’t have any TOs left?

 

[BigSteve09]

Going into February, the Vols were holding opponents to 22% from 3. The single season record is 25.3%.

Since then:
at Florida 35%
vs Auburn 11%
at Vandy 40%

Avg 28.7%

Perhaps this is a regression to the mean and we should expect opponents to hit more 3's. Maybe this is an away/neutral court problem. I think it's something to keep an eye on.

Mizzou 54%

Avg 35%

 

[Enki_Amenra]

Yeah and that would've been better.

Can't believe he hit that desperate 3.

 

[Jimmy Football]

This team could have used that comeback as a springboard to a great close to the season.

They can’t now. They’re spiraling.

 

[Weezer]

How is Santi missing his FTs the fault of Barnes?

 

[give_him 6]

We need some answers. Rick Barnes has lost control of the program.

We're beating Bama Wednesday night.

I agree, but you are getting beat by 17 at home before a drastic change is made.

 

[jpope9]

Lol screw this team

 

[SoilVol]

Also don't understand why we didn't foul before we allowed 3.

Because we were only up 2. If you foul they can tie on two "easy" shots and you only have 4 seconds. If you don't, they have to go shoot a 3 with 4 seconds and no timeouts.

Exactly!

 

[Nash_Vol97]

Vescovi is one of our best free throw shooters, probably period, but especially inside of 1-2 minutes. Not the last two games. Really rough stretch for him.

 

[Enki_Amenra]

We’re staring down the barrel of 5 straight losses.

At least we're not peaking too soon. . .

I'm expecting another buzzer beater against us

 

[Weezer]

We need some answers. Rick Barnes has lost control of the program.

The team came back from 17 down after Barnes switched the line up. He did what he could as a coach. The players effed up. ZZ with dumb fouls. Santi missing FTs that would have put the game away. That's on the players, not the coach.

 

[csprig9]

Well
That sucked
On to the next one
Hopefully we found a more exciting rand of basketball to play after we came back from 17 down….
