The Official #16 Tennessee @ #23 Arkansas Gam Thread, 4:00 PM ET, ESPN

[VOLnVANDYland]

This isnt a bad loss. Payback in TBA. Wipe that smile off that freaking ugly ass Williams

Not a “bad” loss, but it was a “bad” showing. But the refs by far were the most atrocious variable in this crap game

 

[Namorto1]

I am not even disappointed. We played poorly and while I don’t complain often about officials, they were awful. We had nothing on the interior and too many players were just off. Our offense will be our undoing come tournament time. Move on the the next one and just bury this outcome.

 

[volsarelife1]

I think they do practice it because we are great at it

That's the only thing that makes sense. They have got to practice missing them

 

[Creeker]

We can all whine about the refs all we want, but we soo earned this loss!

We didn’t play well enough to win, but Barnes should still complain. Specifically about Tony Greene. He’s been terrible and his soft ego doesn’t need to be calling games. He got pissed at Chandler on a free throw for trying to wipe sweat off the ball.

 

[volmoon]

Powell and plavsic are giving absolutely nothing lately and it’s frustrating

Plavsic talks more than anything.

 

[Prayivm3rcy]

It's a huge concern how terrible this team shoots on the road

 

[Giveem6]

I can't wait to get this ****** team at home. Refs ruined this one, no flow to the game at all. Pathetic and number 10 can kick rocks.

 

[lostsheep]

I’m all for splitting Uros minutes going forward between Aidoo and BHH.

 

[tnvols72]

Powell and plavsic are giving absolutely nothing lately and it’s frustrating

They both are borderline useless

 

[SlyStone]

Powell is terrible

turrible

 

[firestorm]

I’m happy the Volunteers haven’t quit except the high lead with not much time left is why they won’t win the game also the 15 turnovers, and shooting below Arkansas in the 2nd half.

 

[patrick]

Didn’t expect TN to win this game but thought we would play better.

 

[Mr French]

Now it’s his offense...make up your mind. What has JJJ done today beside kill this team...0-5 3 pointers 3 TO’s..

Plavsic didn’t cost us this game..

If he could do anything offensively it's a 3 point game. That's a lot different than 7-9 point game.

 

[tdd]

Powell and Plavsic absolutely are terrible. Both are a waste of a scholarships.

 

[Caz]

Disagree, I cant be upset with the team when they got that kind of whistle

Did the refs miss all these wide open shots? Agreed..refs weren’t the best, but we didn’t play well

 

[VolunteerCeltic]

I wouldn't say that. We'll see how we play against Mizzou, but on the surface I don't think a close loss on the road to a really good Arkansas team is a momentum killer.

Missouri has a greater chance now to drop a double loss on this team, Cuonzo will make it slow and ugly and Barnes will let him

 

[BreatheUT]

Powell and plavsic are giving absolutely nothing lately and it’s frustrating

Plasvic must still be on the team because he wins the team cheerleadering MVP.

 

[cobbwebb0710]

I really hate to call out players...I won’t. But I’ll say this, we have 3 guys who get minutes, who give us absolutely nothing.
GBO!!

 

[mr.checkerboards]

I told myself that this game was house money today and I wasn’t going to get mad, yet here I am now redneck mad at the loss. Just so frustrating. We had so many chances. This is a game we easily could have won and maybe positioned ourselves for a 2-seed. Just so frustrating.

Im just mad the under hit instead of the over

 

[VolGee4]

He will, he's a p*ssy with refs

No he’s not. He ripped the decision on the technical against UK.

He’s been on the rules committee…and he isn’t going to cuss out anyone.

 

[turdherder11]

This game killed TN late season momentum...

I think it did too. Proves they're still what they were throughout the season . A very cold team and not very good away from home. Not a lot of creativity on offense. When it's bad its bad. Won't be surprised with a sweet 16 appearance or a 1st round exit. They're not a final 4 team tho. Sorry if I don't kiss the ground these players and coaches walk on. Barnes makes 5 mill a year. Shouldn't be very many 1st or 2nd round exits.

 

[K-town Vol Fan]

Just knocked out of a chance to win the SEC. Those hopes are done. We controlled our own destiny after Auburn lost. It's over.

no one remembers conference titles 5 or 10 years later. We need to make noise in March.

 

[BigSteve09]

This game reminds me of the Villanova game, but Arky is not as good as Nova so it wasn't a blowout.

Refs slapped the Vols hand early and made them play about 10x smaller and more timid than this team is.

When other crews let this team play, they assert their will and completely control the opponent and the game.

1st half was a whistle fest and our players never picked up on how the refs wanted the game to be played.

 

[Caz]

We didn’t play well enough to win, but Barnes should still complain. Specifically about Tony Greene. He’s been terrible and his soft ego doesn’t need to be calling games. He got pissed at Chandler on a free throw for trying to wipe sweat off the ball.

Agreed

 

[Voltopia]

All I know is this - Jaylin Williams being given special treatment to receive offensive foul calls is an embarrassment to the sport and to the SEC. They KNOW he hunts offensive fouls and they reward him for his behavior.
