The Official #1 Tennessee @ #8 Florida Game Thread, 7:00 PM ET, ESPN2

[DooleyOrangePants]

#1 ranked teams have only lost by 15+ 3 times according to the graphic they showed earlier. The first in 1968 and the last two in the last 10 years. This is historically bad

Yep. Not a record we want to hold. And we will hear about it all season.

What matters is how we respond. Exposed in some ways I’m sure, but we have to find a way to patch it up and reset.

If we lose by 40 that says a lot about theae guy's pride

 

[volsarelife1]

Igor for 3

 

[JCP201]

we are.

I think we are having a bad game, but i feel like this is a good team.

 

[GBO18]

GOOD SHOT GAINEY

 

[utVolFanInVA]

Dunbar has looked lost tonight and very inactive on D/rebounding. Couple that with 0/3 shooting and not sure why he is even seeing the floor other than just being a warm body.

If we lose by 40 that says a lot about theae guy's pride

I'd say how they come out against Texas will be a better take on pride

 

[Anti-shunshinepumper]

We better avenge this utter a$$ whooping when they come to knoxville

 

[first time caller]

Historically bad. This will be headlines for the next week bad. Mentioned for the rest of the season bad.

No shame in doubting after this. It’s the complete meltdowns that some have that are ridiculous.

Yes...media will run with this all season

 

[Putbacks]

Hey, let’s have a rematch in Knoxville!

 

[DooleyOrangePants]

Welp. Let’s prepare for the backlash. Earned it. Just have to respond.

Boswell had some good defensive minutes. May not show on the stat sheet, but he was present and accounted for. Felix played ok.

Beyond that….not much to say.

 

[Vols till I fall]

Mashack please never touch a basketball again

 

[LivinginthePast]

Gotta lose eventually. Basketball is so random. Shots just did not fall. Not as random as baseball

 

[OrangeInKy]

The only thing I can think that I've witnessed that comes close to being this ugly was the 40-101 whooping to Kentucky on the SEC tournament in 92, but that wasn't with a good team. This is just bewildering.

 

[Putbacks]

We will finally make ESPN headlines!

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Classy of Golden up 30 to keep starters in.

We held them 20 points under average, just didn’t have it on offense.

 

[KnoxtotheBoro20]

Just glad to know we came out and competed. Really proud of this product

 

[Zues1]

Always take the Bruce Pearl route

Yep, let them horses run

 

[adam.vol]

Are our guys sick?

That’s what I said. Ziegler looks like he’s playing with a 102 fever.

 

[Anti-shunshinepumper]

Yes...media will run with this all season

They shouldn't be allowed to live this one down for a while. They need to let this one motivate them

 

[molsen81]

If they're exhausted the 2nd game into conference play, we've got much bigger issues to worry about

The turkey, the presents, the barbecue......

 

[camp_steveo]

Dayum

 

[Cdywolfe]

Florida scored 100 at UK... They have 64 at home. Defense was good enough. Offense was that bad. Plain and simple a stinker. Stop over analyzing.

That’s what pisses me off the most. I’m sure Florida is gonna beat their chest like they had anything to with this (as I would if I were them). They just so happen to be there when we melted down.

That explains a lot. I knew that it had to be rare. As mentioned earlier, I'm interested in what Barnes has to say once it's all said and done.

 

[ttocswob]

Good job, Dubar...
