The Official #16 Tennessee vs. #4 Kentucky Game Thread, 9:00 PM ET, ESPN

Auburn, you're on the clock.

 

[I4Vols]

Victory, Just Manic Victory!

 

[Kicker82]

Crowd was weak. I remember when Barnes' original team played one year, it was the rowdiest crowd I had ever seen and it was non stop. It was so consistent and relentless I will never forget it. That said, GO VOLS!!! BIG dub!

We blew their brakes off all game. Fans could relax once it was out of hand.

 

[VolPack22]

Auburn, you're on the clock.

Arkansas is on the clock.

When Tennessee lost to Texas, and especially when they lost in the manner that they did, I thought the Vols had peaked early and were losing momentum going into the SEC tournament. I am so, so happy to be wrong. The lineups they put out there today were fire. And to see Aidoo dictate the game to Tshibwe inside was astounding. He had a job to do it and damn if he didn't do it.

And another thing, Powell is a sophomore, he's going to get better. Hot take warning! I think this teams ceiling next year might be higher.

 

[ArdentVol]

AI DOO feel good

 

[JCP201]

Seems like Checkboard isn't here. Makes sense.

Mr. Blue Checkerboard

Sorry to do a drive-by, but play of the game was when Zeigler successfully defended Tshiebwe! SIAP.

Great game!!! glad I didn't sell my Auburn tickets!!!

 

[VolArmy74]

Arkansas is on the clock.

I'm referring to the projected #1 seeds taking the dive vs the Vols.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Aidoo has arrived. If he can give us that every night we’re gonna be a hard team to beat in March.

Love how consistent Santi has become. KC had a big game and ZZ gave us a big spark when it was needed in 2nd half with a few big plays.

Fulky continues to return to his pre-Covid form. We have all the ingredients to be dancing deep. Hopefully we stay healthy & keep playing hard.

Time to smoke some hogs!!!

 

[walkenvol]

Crazy how hard our schedule is to end the year but I never thought this type of win over UK was possible this year.

If we even split with Arky take care of business against everyone but Auburn I’d be happy. Anything more is just plain gravy.

Split my ass - win them all playing like this!

Best thing to come out of this game was Aidoo-- He could be a superstar. Fulkey was awesome, Z, Chandler-- really the whole team. We aren't just one guy, which makes us dangerous.

Never be sorry to drive-by

 

[wmcovol]

Ky got that a$$ beat and they had all their players. No excuses.

 

[Lankykong]

Awesome game! Really thought Powell should have taken the open 3 there in the corner before he got doubled. It’s basically a dunk for him and it was pretty obvious he was going to get cornered

Also Fulk dominated for a few stretches this game until he started playing slower. Our big 3 guards of Chandler, Vescovi, and Zeigler were excellent. James’ shot is flat again. Aidoo played amazingly, growing into what could be our second best big currently this year. Good FT shooting in general.

 

[cobbwebb0710]

Without looking at the numbers, JJJ seemed to have a rough game, at least on the offensive end. Uros didn’t have his finest night, but most everyone else played pretty damn good tonight!
The only negative, and I hate to do this, is Powell. I don’t see that he’s giving us anything on either end of the floor.
GBO!!

 

[walkenvol]

Wheeler has been All over him all night

Love ZZZ’s Turner imitation stopping with the ball with Wheeler following too close!

 

[malibuvol]

I can't wait to go there later and look. They particularly hate Fulkerson going off on them.

Yes, they do...2 years ago in Rupp, he scored 27 points, I believe, and the Ky message board was giving their bigs hell after that game...

 

[DooleyOrangePants]

Actually our guys basically said “F you” and went to celebrate with the fans. And I don’t have any issues with it.

Definitely with you on that. Just an observation.

Hog legs?

 

[Ernest T. Vol]

Did Cal acknowledge Barnes after the game? Admittedly didn’t see the entire sequence, but it looked like he just herded his cats to the locker room.

They talked while the clock was running out. Fans poured on the cats on the way out. They deserve it.

Who's the last Tennessee coach to beat Kentucky seven years in a row? For that matter, who's the last coach of any team to beat them seven years in a row?
