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

[lostsheep]

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.

And we haven’t won in Bud Walton Arena since 2009.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

I'm embarrassed

If it makes you feel better I went through a few Xbox One controllers from slamming them on the floor.

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.

I think Fulk got injured on the charge no call; he never came back into the game after that

 

[I4Vols]

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

One Vol was 4 of 13 & 8 points vs Vol 2 of 13 for 7 points. Guess who?
By your logic, Vescovi is worse than James.
Vols can't survive on that and so did not win this game

On the other hand, agreed, Powell has not contributed in a long, long time

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.

Do you know what you get when you get a hundred Arkansas fans in a room together?…….A full set of teeth.

Dang! Sorry about your TV. I try not to get too aggravated as I have kiddos around but it’s tough when calls aren’t going your way.

 

[UTK]

PSA. It's okay to criticize the team you root for because you have high standards.

Obviously if the team goes on to win the SEC tourney or makes a deep run in March, Im not gonna care we loss a road game to a good Arkansas team. But I can't 100% be frustrated in the moment, especially when I see a pattern forming.

 

[VOLnVANDYland]

Not that #10 from Arky will ever sniff the NBA, but he’d get his ass beat pulling that “charge” bs today

 

[Pacer92]

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

Then I guess people need to take it up with Barnes...

All fan bases have some of those. I promise you we do.

Man why? Must not be big enough and you want to replace it anyway.

 

[turdherder11]

We beat arkansas by 20 in Knoxville

 

[Fatdad32]

We have to able to look more for post play by Fulky some at least in games like this. The refs were really in control of this game for Arky. Combined with just bad shooting by us!

 

[Mr French]

I don't, I'm fine with pointing out stupidity but I didn't know anyone could be above making bad or stubborn decisions regardless of their salary or resume.

Yeah, but no excuse, I lost it

Anyone watch Ozark? I just think of the Snells every time I watch Arkansas now.

Every year it's the same w Barnes teams. Beat Kentucky at least once...flirt w the SEC reg season title...fail at the end by losing the important games that would get you said title. Advance in the SEC tourney....lose before getting to the championship game....make the ncaa tourney....win a game then lose to someone your favored against. That's how it will play out as it always does. At least they are a good team...so there's that....but always not good enough to do anything special.

[Volfan1000]

Defensive struggle today and Arkansas's Williams was a beast today.

Happy to see Florida beat Auburn so we did not lose any ground in the overall race.

 

[Voltopia]

I'm embarrassed

Nah man, seriously. It sucks to have to spend money, but that's just a "stupid tax." Everyone pays a stupid tax from time to time. Don't be embarrassed because you made a mistake. You should only be embarrassed if you repeat it.

We’ve made the SECT Championship game 2 of the past 3.

Maybe that's why Arky wins at home--Everyone boo me, but seeing the way the refs were calling that game, I was thinking somebody got paid.

Feel bad for you but it was very frustrating.

48 points. Can't win like that. The offense was bad but it was the worst officiated game I've seen all year.

If Plas is better than BHH not only does BHH need to spend 12 hours a day in the gym but we got problems with ORN out. If Plasvic plays much against Auburn then we get drilled.
