The Official #14 Tennessee @ #19 Alabama Game Thread, 9:00 PM ET, ESPN2

[JMSqb11]

You mentioned the fact he’s a freshman as if that were super important. Chandler is also a freshman. So yes, it’s relevant.

Bailey’s experience trumps ZZ’s inexperience. To argue that, you brought Kennedy Chandler into the argument, who the last time I checked, is not playing this game. I can only think you did that because you can’t make a legitimate or coherent case to rebut ZZ’s inexperience vs Bailey’s experience. But please tell me what Kennedy Chandler has to do with a direct comparison of ZZ to Bailey. I’m all ears.

 

[peerless98]

ZZ should have taken the 2

 

[TheMagnificantOne]

Barnes isn't going to win anything significant here is he?

 

[Vols2015]

Rick Barnes failed by not calling a timeout sooner. Clearly you have two, and you should’ve used the timeout to setup a better play.

 

[BreatheUT]

I'm pissed as hell....mostly because Bama is a s*** team that doesn't deserve to win tonight

Alabama actually will lose a lot this year. They aren't that good. Blowtorch game. They got the benefit of the whistle.

 

[Switch 625]

Defend him all you want, but I’ll be glad when Barnes is gone.

 

[D3Athlete]

Powell should have been instead of Bailey last minute. Zone should have been abandoned after 2 minutes left. But if we have Chandler and Fulk, this game isn’t close.

I probably have COVID. I ran a 101 fever today. I’ve taken a ton of meds. It’s been a long day.

Please, for the love of God, please tell me I did not see Rick Barnes draw up a final minute play for Victor Bailey

Barnes should be criticized for letting Bailey get any PT period he brings nothing

 

[rocketskates]

ZZ screwed us. Good grief.

That wasn’t his shot but to be fair he’s had a pretty solid game otherwise.

 

[therealitytheory]

Bullshlt. Poor game management at the end.

 

[1985Vols]

Plavsic played much better than BHH would have in the second half imo. No possible argument on Bailey

BHH had 8 points and 2 boards in the few minutes he played in the first half

 

[casetopia]

Reason #267 to hate Alabama.

 

[DEFENDTHISHOUSE]

Lead the whole game and lose it in the last few minutes.

 

[Voltopia]

Tennessee absolutely farted around for three minutes and handed this one to Alabama. Forget the "well they weren't playing without their two best players" business. They had this win and they blew it. Absolutely blew it.

 

[vavolfan6]

Enjoy it Gumps. When we get Fulky and Chandler back we’re gonna beat the brakes off of ya.

Bama should feel really pathetic about this game. They aren't a good team. Surely not a top 25 team.

 

[87&91ALUM]

We are done. 68-73

 

[white65]

We played really hard tonight, but Bama is a top 25 team. They shot very poor from 3 (22%), but we didn't do much better (25%)...

 

[Fun coupon VOL]

Good thing we kept our guys who are really good at defense on the floor when it was 63-57.

Good offense beats good defense everyday of the week.

 

[patrick]

Powell with last possession. Great Barnes. It’s almost comical

you know Barnes just loves playing head games with players. The whole hard-coaching ish.

 

[TooLegit2Quit]

This is a garbage ****ing sport. Every single game is completely dominated by the officials.

 

[Creeker]

Incredible execution on the last play lol

 

[tmack50]

Was ORN pushed?

Folks we lost this game. Nothing like losing to the gumps.

Yes he was

 

[87&91ALUM]

We lose

 

[vols 30]

Bailey 2-8 from the floor
JJJ is 1-8

That's why you lose. Too many minutes for suckage

 

[WestTennesseeVol]

Death, Taxes, Barnes coming up short in big games
