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

I didn't get to watch very much. Do we even run an offense or is it just someone just create something?

They didn’t run an offense today

Over reaction to a bad loss.

Yes, this wasn't a good performance but this happens in basketball.

We just beat Gonzaga and Michigan state in closed/open scrimmages.

Almost every team each season has bad losses.

Gonzaga wasn’t playing defense it was a scrimmage.

Players must have snuck out of the hotel last night.

 

[JohnD13]

Same geniuses that said beating Gonzaga made us top 5 now jumping off cliff. Lol

 

[johnfnkelly]

Barnes let’s em shoot when open, some nights they are ice cold and this is what happens.

It’s one thing to shoot open - it’s another to shoot a few seconds into the shot clock when we’ve been cold all night.

 

[TooLegit2Quit]

Welp, we have been spoiled these past couple of seasons. This was an awful loss.

 

[JohnD13]

Gonzaga wasn’t playing defense it was a scrimmage.

Ok

 

[tnvols72]

I think Barnes has had his team watching the football team instead of practicing

 

[vols 30]

The team has had horrible body language the whole game.

Didn't seem inspired from the beginning. Maybe Mashack was, but everyone else seemed somewhere else

 

[joevols89]

Ok

Ok, bye kiddo.

 

[InVOLuntary]

Good grief, why would a coach not care?

Because it's a meaningless game in the grand scheme of things. It's a teaching moment.

 

[Volstylexx]

No it’s not. The only way this hurts is if we are on the bubble, which means we weren’t good anyway.

we were shafted in seeding last year after winning the Sec tournament with a lot of quality wins and no bad losses. You’re wrong if you think this loss won’t be used against us.

 

[Tenacjim]

I doubt we end up on the bubble but it will help them underseed us (along with Barnes rep for choking in the tourney).

FGCU coming to town to knock em off as well

 

[tnvols72]

Need Phillips to emerge. He has to take ORN’s spot.

ORN has no business being on the court

Nothing is a given, especially now.

Just get back to winning, and that will take care of itself.

One of those days…

 

[nomads-11]

Tuning in late....lemme guess, poor performance shooting from the perimeter and no inside game. If so we've seen that before.....Barnes just hasn't learned.

 

[tnvols72]

would not doubt it

FGCU coming to town to knock em off as well

It’ll be a better barometer than this game.

I almost feel bad for these kids this week. It’s not going to be fun for them at practice

At least this kid took it to the hole…

 

[vavolfan6]

Losing to Colorado who just got smacked by Grambling state....absolutely pathetic.

ZZ, Mashack, Phillips, Aidoo all young. Key first year with team and ORN missed half of last season.

Team has to play together and build chemistry.
