+8 in fouls for Arky

 

[Volfansince1980]

Arkansas fans are disgusting and classless garbage. Fans were flipping Tennessee players off as the went to the locker room. Love to see Arkansas get humiliated in Knoxville in a few weeks.

That’s what happens with too much inbreeding

Well, we had been playing better overall but the last 2 times we’ve played tournament-quality teams away from TBA we looked like crap and lost. I wouldn’t bet on the Vols making the second weekend in March. We just don’t play smart enough and don’t shoot well enough but I really hope I’m wrong. I was starting to think we had finally turned the corner and that the Texas game was an aberration but it doesn’t appear that it was. Oh well. I’ll lower expectations and hope to be surprised. Go Vols.

It makes a difference when your scorers are in foul trouble early. But credit to Arkansas for making plays and taking advantage.

Ah, sorry, dude. You gotta learn to cut it off before you get there. Not that I've broken any TVs. Broken an XBox controller though. F'ing Madden.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

I don't care if we had to win out with 20 games left, there was a light and we shut it out before it even got interesting. Typical

Man we have real genius fans.

Triple J and carrot top need to be gagged on taking three-pointers the rest of the season

Ever who told JJJ that he was a good shooter should be fired. Powell offers nothing either way

 

[Vol49er]

We were +2 in Kennedy’s 28 minutes, -12 in the other 12 minutes. Refs took him out of the game and took points from us on several BS charge calls

 

[TheMookieMonster]

We were doomed the moment we won the baseball game. If Tennessee won two games on the same day, the world would end.

 

[TNVOLNAVY]

Yup, all 7 of em. Put you’d damn well better put all 19 of the wins on him too. Shut up.

Embrace the suck!

The discrepancy in how they called charges should be investigated. That was one of the most blantant examples of calling things inconsistently.

Lol…not even worth responding to. In game one, there was a clear path…if we won all of our games.

Haha I almost snapped my laptop in half when Aidoo got called for a foul by just playing defense. Really shouldn’t have that around when we’re playing on the road

 

[UTK]

Drive by posters are getting old

Drive by poster lol probably have thousands of basketball board posts. But okay

All I'm saying is it sure would be nice to win a big road game for once. Why can we only put up mediocre offense on the road in big time environments. It's old.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

If we dont beat them at home, we might drop to the 5 in Tampa. That would hurt

Are they all negative?

I'm embarrassed

 

[Mr French]

Uros isn’t good...he’s everybody’s punching bag when everyone else equally sucks tho.

He's also pointed out as sucking when we play good.

 

[lostsheep]

Length on the perimeter seems to destroy us. Vescovi isn’t quick enough to get around or shoot over it, and ZZ struggles against it as well.
It’s a game of matchups. Just hoping we get enough favorable matchups to advance in the tourney.

 

[hUTch2002]

Neutral court --- I think we stand a good chance against any one. I think Gonzaga's bigs would be trouble for us. I think we would take most anyone else. It is about matchups, and on a neutral court I think we match up well and have the experience to go deep in the tourney.

I sure do hope you’re right but the evidence so far has been to the contrary. Granted, we haven’t played on a neutral court in a long time. I do like the makeup of our team and when we started playing better I admit I started thinking Elite 8 again but I think that was my fan bias kicking in some.

 

[youcancallmeAl]

One look at the box score and you can tell we lost this game because of a lack of post presence. I'm to the point where I think it would be better for post season to sit Uros and hope that Aidoo can develop and improve over these last games of the season by tossing him in there sink or swim. Stay with Fulky and JJJ at the four. Fulky can spell Aidoo at the five if Uros can't give us a few minutes of good basketball.

 

[Vol49er]

Eh, heat of passion. Happens to the best of us. Sorry about the $ lost though

As long as we get the same calls at TBA, I’m ok with it.

They are 14-1 at home…Mississippi State had lost 1 game at home. This is big boy basketball. But your point was kind of ridiculous with “things on the line.” Nothing was really on the line today.

Yeah, I have been a (slight) defender of Uros, but now that we’ve seen the impact Aidoo can have, there’s no reason he should have significant minutes any more
