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

[C-south]

If I'm Kentucky I foul us every possession and don't let us get a shot off. Put us on the line

Let us pass it and dribble around until under 10 on the shot clock like we aren’t down double digits.

Barnes ball is not fun anymore and I really like him but he is not willing to change

tbf missing free throws is antithetical to Barnes bball

 

[Clad in Big Orange]

Mashack 16 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals

Key 1 point
Plavs 2 points
Awaka 0 points
ON 4 points
Aidoo 4 points

That’s some elite talent there so those numbers are shocking.

 

[TennVols12]

that ball went off the ky foot

Lol

 

[VolunteerCeltic]

Game over folks, showed some fight in 2nd half but once again Barnes was unprepared for 1st half and refs were prepared to help KY in 2nd.

 

[firestorm]

It doesn’t seem like it should be that difficult to shoot 70% from the FT line, but this team makes it look terribly difficult

They got inspired by Shaquille O’Neal.

 

[GhostVol]

Why you just dribbling down 10 and 1:15 to go? FFS put the shot up.... Dribbling doesn't score points

 

[TrapVol]

That’ll get overturned for sure.

 

[turdherder11]

Well.....this team is good for a 1st round out with these players. 2nd round out when healthy

 

[tnvols72]

This team is in trouble and I said this after the Fla loss

 

[87&91ALUM]

54-63 1:18

 

[Voltrapnbama]

that ball went off the ky foot

No it didn’t

 

[87&91ALUM]

We need 5 Vescovis

 

[VOLINVONORE]

We have missed enough free throws to win this game. Most of the misses are the same; not enough arc on the shots. I would have everyone shoot 150 free throws every practice.

 

[Christian Lowe]

Did Vescovi really just go up to the ref and say “that was off of me.” ?

 

[hatingbamaisawayoflife]

They have made what 7 more fts than we have attempted

 

[casetopia]

So is it injuries? Did we peak too soon? A little of both?

 

[VolunteerCeltic]

Why foul now, lead is out of reach

 

[Jravol78]

Why am I still watching this

 

[hatingbamaisawayoflife]

Did Vescovi really just go up to the ref and say “that was off of me.” ?

He did

 

[tnvols72]

No it didn’t

your right , it looked like it did

 

[Willy14]

Kentucky is now ahead of us in the SEC standings. Awesome

 

[VolsFan-TX]

We need 5 Vescovis

We need 5 second-half Vescovis

 

[hatingbamaisawayoflife]

Why foul now, lead is out of reach

3 possessions game when fouled

 

[TrapVol]

The refs have blown the whistle more this half, but
losing this game is on TN. Poor first half. Poor foul shooting. Stupid fouls by TN away from the basket.

There have been some bad calls on both ends but TN committed silly turnovers in first half and shooting has been suspect. Our foul shorting has been horrible 4-12. Eight of them were front ends of one and one.
TN just got bailed out by the refs as it was a turnover.

But I will say it again that the game is much physical and quicker than it appears on TV. I was surprised if the physical play b/t Vandy & TN. There was hand checking on every possession, a ton of chirping and contact in every play in the post.

I’m not sure if you were countering what I said, but I agree with you. I do think most of the bad calls have gone against us, but I completely agree that it’s not the reason we would lose this game.
