Nice start

Tennessee Basketball

 

[VolunteerCeltic]

Much better, why cant they do that in first half...smdh

 

[Pennheel]

7-0 run to start the half. Keep it up.

 

[JCP201]

Obviously playing with the bigger hoop in the second half.

 

[hardyemt_p]

Barnes must have chewed a$$

 

[johnboyhunter]

That’s a good way to start the half

 

[TheMookieMonster]

This is why the first half is so frustrating. How the hell did we get down 20??? Where was this energy and fire the first 20 minutes???

 

[TheBigOne10]

Good energy to start!

 

[vol94]

I LOVE the fight so far in the 2nd half. Forced turnovers and both Mashack and Santi went inside. Keep fighting.

 

[RAVOL]

Great start confidence love it. Keep it going. In CHRIST Alone

 

[Willy14]

I’m gonna be optimistic and say we pull out an amazing win.
We come out aggressive and go on a 7-0 run.
Down 13 w/ about 10-12 minutes is doable.
Cut it down to 8 with 6 minutes left.
Get KY in foul trouble we go double bonus at 4 minutes.
We tie the game up at 1 minute. KY doesn’t want to foul but does somehow.
Vescovi hits clutch free throws and we end up winning by 4 ! Go Vols

Bro what. How did you predict that

Prescient.

 

[johnboyhunter]

Big IF we can pull a comeback but can you imagine the meltdown of Kat fans?

 

[TrapVol]

Kentucky players clearly thought the game was over and we were just going to pack it in. I will say that we do look more aggressive, and I like it.

I think we got rattled when shots weren’t falling. Then ZZ picked up his second foul. Who knows. I’m just guessing.

 

[Vol49er]

I would agree that losing isn’t a surprise. I actually expected to lose today. But, getting pounded by 20 is a surprise. It just is. Did you really think this team after beating Alabama was going to come into Rupp score 19 points in one half and give up 40?

No, I mean I didn’t expect to be on track to lose by 40. But I would’ve guessed that we’d be out of it by the under four (of the second half). It’s worse than I expected, but I didn’t expect us to be all that close to winning

 

[vavolfan6]

Like the fight...Just want to see the team compete and keep it close

 

[charleyhorse]

He’s the white guy that’s their best 3 shooter

Equity and opportunity only goes one way today.

 

[VolunteerCeltic]

If there’s no light at the end of the tunnel, why are you here? Why are you watching at all? I’d simply not tune in if I thought this team wasn’t winning another game all year.

Because I am a Vol fan for a long time and this is my outlet to voice my frustrations with other like minded fans. I celebrate when they win, I complain when they lose, like 100% of all fans. But to answer your question, this team is very flawed on offense and they cannot make a run without the ability to score points efficiently

Could you imagine the meltdown of some of our "fans" if we won ?

 

[Voltrapnbama]

Hard to have a better start than this to start the 2nd half.

 

[ttocswob]

Well, watching for the Miracle of the Millennium, or the Chock of the Century…

 

[vols4life1994]

Where the hell has this been?

 

[VolsSportsFan]

Vescovi has to hit that.
