Tennessee - Memphis cancelled

[amessing]

I am flying into Knoxville to visit family for Christmas on Monday and I have tickets to the Arizona game Wednesday. I am going to LOSE IT if they cancel that game, too. What are we doing!?!?!

This game was cancelled due to Memphis, so hopefully it won't affect that game. TN is scrimmaging itself live, so our program seems to be good.

What would that do though? It's not like it would be counted as a good win since the game wasn't played.

Give them another loss.

Game will not be scheduled or played at a later date, Barnes should not bring credibility to their program by playing them, covid was not a problem with a home game Wednesday night, but against a talented team on the road at a neutral site, featuring a sensation from Memphis wearing orange and white, covid becomes a problem, let their program wallow in Penny land, no need to draw an audience for them anymore, they are what they are, get ready for number 8 Arizona next week

Barnes is never going to play Memphis again if this "team was out partying" theory turns out to be true.

Barnes is done with Memphis. Penny is a clown.

I hate it. I think it hurts Memphis more than Tennessee. Hope it costs them at the end of the year.

Yep, this Was one of their last chances for a quality win. Only 2 games vs. Houston left for them now. There program is such a joke

Give them another loss.

Haha that is fair. I was thinking more from our point of view. Doesn't change anything for us.

There's a covid thread in the pub and one in the politics forum if you guys want to discuss that stuff.

Thanks.

They don’t want this smoke.

I hope Barnes stands firm and vows to never play this trash program again.They needed this game a lot more than we did. Now they will only have one good OOC win and a bunch of bad losses. They will stay a bubble tram all year. Ya hate to see it

No thanks, I heard you catch Covid if you participate in those threads.

Not sure what the protocol is on forfeits for non-con games.

I’m like 90% sure this would be a forfeit if it were an SEC game

That’s the policy.

SEC Establishes Event Cancellation Policies

Delete thread

Why?

 

[bigorangepoppa]

Can some one confirm?

Freak posted this, I consider that confirmed.

Penny didn’t want to schedule Tennessee anymore after getting his a$$ handed to him at Memphis.

He also talked sh*t about Barnes and Barnes fired back.

There’s no reason to even play this game anymore. It’s become a joke.

Barnes has already said he will never play Memphis again beyond current committed games.

You think they will televise the Scrimmage.....What a great Advertisement

 

[GiveHim6InSC]

Hard to believe they didn’t know about this until less than an hour before tipoff.
You can’t shine a turd…

Don't take my word for it, but I added the tweet from the official basketball account, so yeah, it's confirmed.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Memphis cancels the game, because THEY broke protocols, but Memphis players are on Twitter trashing Rick Barnes. Their program is nothing but garbage. Penny's trash personality washes off on his players.

 

[BigOrangeMojo]

I'll just say the 3 biggest talking heads around the Memphis program were all saying in different ways how this game shouldn't be played over the past couple of days....

They were just laying the groundwork for today

 

[VolBalls33]

I checked my phone 1015 nothing had been said or shown on ESPN. Left my driveway turned on the radio and heard the news as I was about to park. Total BS. This makes me livid!! Just like the SEC tourney right before tip off.

That was already the case

Couple of days ago I agreed with I think Vols30 that this game should be played every year. Maybe I’ll go back to that when I’m less pissed but forget that, as long as Penny is the coach I don’t want to play the Tigers another time, he just does not run a respectable program

I have anger towards the protocols at this point too but I’ll keep it towards basketball as others have
