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

[SouthKnoxVol70]

Rick Barnes needs to coach instead of eating candy on the sideline .

 

[UTK]

Haven’t been able to watch. Score looks ugly. But even I know one ugly game means nothing in basketball. It’s early. Im sure they’ll get it going.

Butterscotch?

 

[tnvols72]

Barnes has his work cut out for him this year. But in no way this team returning 4 starters should look this bad

 

[TrapVol]

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

I’ve said this before, but it’s not unreasonable to be critical of our play and at the same time not go over the rails. We have a lot of work to do. We will get better, but there are weaknesses I’m not sure we can overcome with our roster. We will see.

 

[vols 30]

Can't believe SV is 1-12

 

[TooLegit2Quit]

Nkamhoua has had some awful, awful turnovers this half.

 

[YankeeVol]

It’s obviously not the end of the season, but this is a BAD loss

I think that’s all anyone is saying

 

[VolsSportsFan]

Makes his comment and doesn't come back

And it's always "OUR FANBASE IS SO STUPID AND YOU ALL SUCK".

 

[InVOLuntary]

Team appears to be one that lives and dies by the 3 ball. If they're making them they can beat anyone. If they're cold they can lose to anyone.

 

[knoxvol52]

Thanks goodness for football and baseball around the corner,lady vols lost their first game and probably tomorrow at Indiana

 

[Vols All Day]

I think we can give up on the idea of being a three point shooting team.

I don’t think we have the players to switch the style of play.

You said it , you haven’t got to watch . This team is horrible . Ain’t got much hope for them

 

[kiddiedoc]

In fairness, we've had a bunch of good looks. Shots just aren't falling.

 

[Putbacks]

Gotta win the Bahamas now

 

[Dewey]

Might not be a popular take, but I think ZZ will do better off the bench. He was so good last year as a spark. I’m wondering if all the off-season hype got to him (and yes I know it’s early).

I’d go with…

Key
Santi
Phillips
JJJ
Aidoo

And have Uros, nkamhoua, and zz off the bench.

Zz and santi throw up way too many clankers for a starting back court. Key can shoot and vols are limited with zz and santi

 

[jbr82]

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

Had all off season. “bUt ItS eArLy”

 

[Namorto1]

Barnes needs to re-evaluate what he sees in practice. If we can’t shoot from the perimeter we are lost. Disappointed in lack of leadership from the veterans for this effort. Only one game but a lot to be concerned with.

 

[YankeeVol]

Dude thinks he's a Harlem globetrotter.

Probably the only hope he has “professionally”

 

[Ernest T. Vol]

Need something every time down now to get back in it.

 

[VolunteerCeltic]

This loss will be very bad for Vols

 

[joevols89]

We certainly aren’t a top 20 team right now. I think making the tournament would be a reasonable goal for this squad.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Zeiglar can’t even hit foul shots. Who is this team?

 

[TooLegit2Quit]

Missing the front end of a 1 and 1 out of the media timeout. RIP

 

[tnvols72]

Missing out on all the PGs in the portal really hurt. As does not having anyone who is a post presence.

This team is missing more than just a PG
