Whats the foul record for a team? We might get tgere tonight...might have to pull an Alabama with only a few guys on the court left

How can anyone complain about “regressing” when 2 of our starters set nearly the entire half with 2 fouls.

You negaVols should really just set the phones down, arguing with other fans trying to convince everyone a 12-4 team is garbage is getting old.

I agree.....We play well.....we just need a consistent big man. I hope we can recruit one. 4 and 5 stars everywhere...except at center (although we do have a 4* center...just doesn't have it).

Barnes shouldn't leave this game without getting ejected if we lose and fouls continue to mount up. Refs have greatly impacted the game from the tip off.

Think the officiating is bad. What’s bad is watching a game at Rupp. I was there 2 years ago near top row and old women with coke bottle glasses would lose it whenever Ky was called for a foul and yell it was BS. I’m like “you can’t even see that”

I will never watch a game there.

Corey Walker because he may lag on defense but the kid is known as a scorer. Barnes is going to be a really good coach that gets left behind because basketball is an offensive game now. Literally all our losses is due to other teams killing us from 3 except for this game.

I wish we had strong team leader on the court. All of our main guys are too passive.
It takes that team leader to get them past a rough patch in the game. It augments the coaches leadership too.
We just don’t have that

Right now your alpha dogs are young and inexperienced.

Fulk has to be good for this team to play at a high level.

The ceiling gets a lot lower if he or Pons get in foul trouble or dont play well.
We have no depth at the 4 or 5 and Pons is not really a 4.

I hesitate to use the term “soft“ when describing this team but it’s really true. If the shots are falling & calls going their way they are fine. When they face adversity they fold , which makes me inclined to agree with your post that they lack a strong personality / extension of the coach on the floor type player .

We haven't played well in several of our last games. We really haven't. They have looked like hot garbage on offense for several games this year.

Having said that, they've played pretty well tonight. And in an evenly officiated game, we're up 10-12 points at the half...maybe even more.

That’s the thing, it’s more than just the 2 to 1 foul calls. We’ve had a few questionable out of bounds calls & non-walks on Kentucky.

Starting to think we get hosed more because Rick is on the rules committee...

I feel like we’re actually playing pretty decent. Need to rebound better, but kind of hard to play physical when Fulky/ON/Pons all have two fouls.
