The Official #10 Tennessee @ Kentucky Game Thread, 1:00 PM ET, CBS

[Burhead]

I really need to find something better to focus on because I let games that I don't control put me in a bad mood and miserable for the whole day when we lose.

 

[chuckb1448]

Refs making us shoot this bad?

Yup, ty for asking

 

[VolunteerCeltic]

And Barnes has coached circles around him most of the years he's been at Tennessee.

Being embarrassed by Cal so far today

 

[tnvols72]

Barnes at practice: We need to focus on the defensive end.
Everybody else: What about offense?
Barnes: Defense wins games
Everybody else: You do know that you have to still be able to score?
Barnes:Not if you stop the other team from scoring.

 

[LordVOLdemort]

It’s shocking how our defense can look sooo different in the same week.

 

[Caculator]

'shieb ain't gettin' no NBA money


AIDOO!

 

[Vol49er]

How is it not fair to expect a win? I don’t think anyone here expects it to be easy at all, but we’re favored and this is NOT a good Kentucky team. They are one of the last four teams in the tournament right now. We’re supposed to be a Top 10 team.

We at the very least shouldn’t be getting our rear ends handed to us like we are. We should be better than what we’ve shown.

It’s upsetting to see us lose to Kentucky and to play poorly but expecting to win in Rupp without 2 of our 4 best players is an extremely tall task. Winning against Alabama was amazing but we shouldn’t discount how much Josiah and Jullian mean to the team

 

[Clad in Big Orange]

Stop blaming refs people! We are terrible on offense.

 

[BallerVolFan]

How many times can Tshiebwe use his off arm to pretty much push the defender away when catching an entry pass?

 

[GBO18]

Vescovi is getting abused on defense. No resistance.

 

[turdherder11]

Wish we could go on a run....haven't see a Rick Barnes offense go on a run in a while

 

[cobbwebb0710]

Oh they do know what an over the back call is.

 

[Voltrapnbama]

Stop blaming refs people! We are terrible on offense.

Exactly. Gonna be bad calls in every single game. We are not losing because of refs.

 

[VolunteerCeltic]

KY been over the back all damn game and they call that on Aidoo

 

[Manchester Vol]

To get beaten twice by this team this year, it's bad. I don't care what the stats show, Q1, Q2 blah blah blah. This is one of the worst UK teams in years and we chalked up the first game to "s*** happens" Well today we are simply sucking and that makes me even more angry.

Suck happens.

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

Key is so bad shooting lately...

 

[volsarelife1]

This has got to be Vescovi's worst game of his career. Nothing on offense and getting beat nearly every possession on defense

 

[TheBigOne10]

Key and Vescovi should be embarrassed. Atrocious

 

[volbound1700]

Kentucky should be far better than 17-9 right now. IMO, they are better than Alabama, Tennessee, or any one in the SEC but they have underachieved.

 

[VolunteerCeltic]

Get it under 10 at half and we're still in this.

Zero chance that happens

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

Barnes keeps telling him to shoot but idk man

 

[VolsSportsFan]

I really need to find something better to focus on because I let games that I don't control put me in a bad mood and miserable for the whole day when we lose.

XFL kicks off in about an hour.

 

[firestorm]

Does anyone actually believe we have the shooters to close the gap and make it a game?

Im crippled with indecision on whether to continue watching or not. It’s like watching my own car crash.

I’m optimistic they’ll play better in the 2nd half to make it a close game, however realistically Kentucky can still win because they’ve been solid in the 1st half because less terrible compared to Tennessee that has been 10 yards below mud awful.
Kentucky has been in the mud awful.

 

[D3Athlete]

It can’t be this hard to make open shots.

 

[2EastTnVols]

What a giant steaming turd of a game
