11 points from all starters that aren’t named Aidoo… unacceptable

Sometimes hard to get focused for a game you're favored by 36

 

[All Vol!]

Also doesn’t help that DK’s only got like 4 points.

I don’t care as much about having a rough stretch to ANY team. But this 2nd half collapse tonight is inexplicable. They just act like they don’t care and would like to be anywhere else.

Games like this you get to dust off words you don't get used to using a lot.. the word of the game today is Drubbing. Thats what happens when you both give out a seal clubbing and also beat them like a drum.

I’m thinking of words like “frittered” That’s what happens when you blow a big lead while “drubbing”.

13 pt lead feels like we should be trailing. What a tale of two halves.

29-14 GS since halftime….

 

[CNeagleVolFan]

This is just sad. Played a perfect first half and the second half has been an absolute embarrassment. This is worse than the bad half against UNC

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

And we break the timeout with almost all starters out...

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

I feel bad for the walk-ons. The regulars took away their couple of minutes of PT by playing so sloppy.

 

[tnvols72]

Tn has scored 14 points this half

 

[zaqhhh]

JJJ & DK have barely played this half, so Barnes is letting the bench guys work through it.

Even now he only has ZZ & Aidoo in, this is good experience.

We have played predominant our starting rotation mixing in some bench players. This is not a good effort. I agree play your bench but this is just gross atm.

Sorry

Not if you have a mature team with real alpha leadership lol

 

[joevols89]

I will be expecting reimbursement for my -34 point cover pick, Rick.

 

[casetopia]

Thank God for aidoo tonight.

“Sloppy play by Tennessee”

 

[tnvols72]

This team still has a lot of work to do.

 

[DooleyOrangePants]

“Sloppy play by Tennessee”

Seems we’ve heard that a lot the past 16 minutes

 

[Clad in Big Orange]

Our lead guards are just too small

 

[WiscVols]

Just sloppy

Trust me it is.

 

[VOLINVONORE]

I’d worry more about what those players do against a team with a pulse.

Trying some new stuff and some of it is not working. They sill not lose it and the entire team has played. Don’t want to entirely embarrass the other coach and his team. It is just a fun night. Enjoy it. I will admit that ZZ is having some problems I did not expect.

 

[casetopia]

Vescovi finally scores. Smh

 

[87&91ALUM]

Knecht for three…nice…first tonight

 

[87&91ALUM]

ZZ for two

I’d agree with this, except there isn’t a whole lot of anything going from the team here in the second half. Even against a bad team, you’ve got to step up and stop runs and establish yourselves a bit.

I think we will hear a similar sentiment from Barnes post game.

71-50
