The Official #16 Tennessee @ Louisiana State Game Thread, 2:00 PM ET, ESPN

[lilesrt]

Bad game.

 

[calban]

unexplainable scoring droughts will shorten this team's season. Along with the Dykes jinx.

 

[SGMVols]

Right. More of a reason to be upset at Barnes.

Well he’s the best we can do. Take it or leave it.

 

[GBO18]

LSU has grabbed all day but let’s call it in the last 2mins when it does not matter.

 

[djohnnyg]

At least we aren't a bottom feeder. Which is nice....but a Barnes coached team will never go far.

 

[VolsAgainstTheWorld15]

Jimmy Dyes said about Fulky “ his game right now, there is no game”

He's right. For whatever reason, Fulky is completely lost.

I wish I could give you more than 1 like

I wish you could too, I’m only here for the likes!

Not signing a true point guard since Bone tells on you.

 

[SGMVols]

We could pay 1/2 that amount and get just as good of a coach from an X’s and O’s Standpoint

But you wouldn’t get players like Johnson, Springer, or Chandler

Tennessee basketball just can’t get that break, to become a legit powerhouse program. This should’ve been the year that we took the next step to becoming an elite program, especially with Kentucky being garbage. Instead, we get bama playing outta their minds and now we are playing for 3rd or 4th place in the conference.
Barnes May be better suited to teach and develop 3 star talent?
Can we just have one damn thing to be excited about?
Geez, is it too much to ask to have one team be a real threat to make a run at a championship?
GBO!!

3rd or 4th in conference? We’re going to end up 5th or 6th at best

 

[Pandemonium]

How is Wade even on the floor?!? Should be behind bars with Ghislaine with all the shade he has done at the Bayou. True loser!

 

[VOLED]

Too many guys not showing up in our losses. It is the same script in every loss, and is hard to understand. I have to believe that Pons and Fulky are hurt. We only have 6 guys that are giving us decent play. That is hard to believe, also.

 

[1985Vols]

But you wouldn’t get players like Johnson, Springer, or Chandler

Sure you could, Its not like we’ve never had 5* players before

 

[SGMVols]

Not signing a true point guard since Bone tells on you.

I think we’ve more than remedied that next year.

 

[VOLnVANDYland]

Man, we’re talented enough to be undefeated.

But the lack of experience & consistency is why we see games like this one and Florida.

We have to figure what’s up with Pons and Fulk and SV has to suddenly develop lateral quickness and any semblance of ability to break a press... then we’d have a shot

 

[SGMVols]

Sure you could

Delusional.

 

[cobbwebb0710]

Had to “pray” on UCLA offer. Aka just wanted to see if they’d counter offer and pay more $ for him. All these great teams. Great culture, yes! But not a winning culture!

Meh, I’m proud that Rick Barnes is our coach and I think he is a great one. But yeah, You’re right about the culture.
GBO!!

 

[VolFreakJosh]

Sure you could

Name them

 

[landscapingvol]

Vescovi is a turnover machine, Pons is a great defender nothing more, and Fulkerson is afraid to shoot the ball. We are what we are and it just isn't a great team especially offensively.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Talent wise, LSU is probably the best team in conference and also the highest paid.

I’m surprised they have 6 losses honestly.

 

[volinbama256]

Bad game.

Yeah... AGAIN.

 

[BeecherVol]

Name a guard on our team that didn’t get exposed

As much as Vescovi?

Every one that logged mins, Bailey would be the closest example. Similar to Vescovi if hes missing the liability is larger.

UT needs a PG. Specifically one that can keep their feet in front of the basketball better.

 

[VOLinAL]

It's at the point of the season where we just make the tourney and hope for the best while expecting the worst. The goal of any team is to make the tourney. Let's just hope we can shoot a basketball before then.

 

[GBO18]

Who we got next?
