The Official #12 Tennessee @ Auburn Game Thread, 2:00 PM ET, ESPN

[SouthKnoxVOL]

When the game is on the line they have no one who will make a shot. Maybe the next group of guys will. Not Barnes fault. Just has a bunch of chokers.

I'm sure if these players looked at your life to this point they would see a bunch of failure/choking in crunch time also.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

How is that not a technical? Not that it really matters but like he dunked that way after the foul.

 

[D3Athlete]

We all knew Pearl had his crybaby outbreak that we wasn’t gonna get a call and looked what happened.

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

We're decent but not much more than that.

Decent teams don't beat Kansas, Texas, Alabama... We are good

 

[CAVPUT]

Broome outscored our 4 post players by himself. Add in missed FT and averaging 10 steals a game and only having 3 and there's a loss.

Hard to believe isn't it? 14 pts spread among 4 players.

Might be the best thing that could happen to this team. An extra day of rest would be most welcome.

Barnes won’t rest them but probably practice them for 8 hours

 

[UTFanHades]

At least we get to watch baseball to wash out the repeated underachieving basketball team

 

[RAVOL]

Yeah, I would say about 10 bad no calls on us and 30 on them. No way there is no contact on our drives to the goal.

Funny thing to make it not look as bad give us those fouls at end of game.

 

[Dergibvol]

Vols are a 5 seed.

 

[joevols89]

Concede the damn game.

 

[LVol]

Jimmy Dykes are you serious, well officiated game?

 

[TooLegit2Quit]

Super bowl for this trash program. Props to the officiating crew for calling that foul, lmao.

 

[Voltopia]

Might be the best thing that could happen to this team. An extra day of rest would be most welcome.

Sadly, if Tennessee’s chances would be that much improved by having an extra day, they’re probably not in that great a spot to begin with.

 

[zaqhhh]

Outscored 52-36 in the last 20+

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Auburn loses first round.

No, theyre not bad.

 

[UT_Dutchman]

We haven't made a field goal in over 6 minutes.

 

[SlyStone]

This team really misses Kennedy Chandler who is wasting away on the Grizzlies bench, albeit making $4million+.

I guess we'll find out. I'm not buying it. I think Alabama might be the only Sweet 16 team in the SEC. Maybe another one sneaks through.

 

[CAVPUT]

Decent teams don't beat Kansas, Texas, Alabama... We are good

That feels like a lifetime ago. Fatigue and injuries have definitely changed the look of this team. I'd even go so far as to say we're just not the same team anymore.

 

[volsarelife1]

Our fan base is becoming more like Kentucky. We blame the officials for every single loss. And never mention them in our wins

 

[Caz]

Honestly auburn doesn't even look like a tourney team. Nor did vandy or Florida or colorado

Neither do we at times

 

[TrapVol]

Where is the overreaction? Please explain.

Aidoo - not any good
Plasvic - not any good
ON - average at best
JJJ - disappointment
Awaka - promising

It’s an overreaction because all of those players have played very well and have even been dominant at times, and even against good competition. You’re acting like they don’t ever play well and just suck in general. You can say that they aren’t always consistent, but it’s inaccurate to say they’re just not good at all.

 

[WhenUrVolUrVFL]

The SEC is bad this year. Real bad. I’m not even going to have an SEC team in the elite 8 in my bracket.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Our bigs needed to score more today inside.

4 bigs combined for 14 points, not good enough.

 

[D3Athlete]

Vols are a 5 seed.

Win one game in the SEC tourney and we are 3 seed lock.
