The Official #11 Tennessee vs. Colorado Game Thread, 2:00 PM ET, ESPN

[hUTch2002]

Not just lack of ability to defend the drive we apparently don’t have anyone that can go get their own shot. Yes we only lost starter but that was the only starter that could go make something happen on his own. I thought Key or Phillips would step into that role or perhaps even James but it sure doesn’t look like it. We will be a bubble team this year. Yes it’s one game but these aren’t problems that will suddenly go away. We had them last year too, we just had a special player that helped us overcome them at times.

Lol 2nd game of season. Absolute worst and dumbest fans in country

 

[sechamp2012]

Uros D inside would had helped some. This is one of the worst Ds I’ve seen Barnes put on the floor.

 

[amaralfan1]

I'm glad to see Barnes is still calling TO 3 to 4 possessions too late to stop a monster run.

 

[zaqhhh]

And that it why it’s about far more than just one game. National media is going to obliterate us and this loss will be used against us all the way through selection Sunday.

A home loss to a team that lost to one of the worst teams in basketball? Yes, I hope the committee does use that against us

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Missing KC on defense a lot more than I expected.

He rarely let his man drive on him. We’ll figure it out, team just has to get comfortable playing together.

Santi, Key, & ZZ aren’t gonna go 3-17 every night.

 

[Tenacjim]

Remember when we looked forward to basketball to forget how bad we sucked in football (2 years ago)? How times have changed….

 

[Vol49er]

Santi and ON should be ashamed. Pathetic effort from fourth year players

 

[JohnD13]

Let's overreact after 2 games

Its what our fans do

 

[Volstylexx]

Colorado was +19.5 in this game today

 

[TheMagnificantOne]

 

[Tenacjim]

Florida Gulf next

They are probably licking their chops…

Colorado isn’t good. It’s basically a home game. It’s not an overreaction.

The irony

 

[jbr82]

Yall really think this is a FF team?

It’s not a safe space for the faint hearted

 

[festus44]

I see 5 or 6 losses before SEC play begins.

 

[Vols All Day]

This team really needs a good pg or post player you can count on to score in the paint. We currently don’t have anyone that can get a tough bucket around the rim.

 

[Volstylexx]

Its what our fans do

How are fans supposed to react after this? Do you honestly feel good about it. This is worse than any loss last year in terms of national perception.

And that it why it’s about far more than just one game. National media is going to obliterate us and this loss will be used against us all the way through selection Sunday.

Probably won’t matter even if we make it to selection Sunday.
We can come in as a one or a 16 seed and still get put out in the second round. #history

 

[Dewey]

Nkamhoua just isn’t very good. Terrible shots. No post presence. Bricks for hands. Wish they’d give more PT to Aidoo.

 

[joevols89]

The irony

You can always count on guys like him to carry water no matter the circumstances.

 

[tnvols72]

TN is what 3 for 35 from 3? seems like

 

[sportsnut624]

I'm not asking for a Bruin, but today's performance exactly illustrates my skepticism on us being a top-15 team at this time.

I’ve been concerned about the makeup of this group since we cowered to the St. Louis coach on their pg. i just don’t see this team able to run good offense night in and night out with Ziegler and Vescovi as our primary ball handlers

 

[Freak]

12-53 shooting? Yikes.

 

[BP4Prez]

You’re basing this off of one game. Are we sure Colorado didn’t just have a bad game like we’re having today?

They weren’t good last year (NIT). Not projected to be good this year. Lost to grambling Friday night. This will be considered a bad loss down the road.
