The Official #18 Tennessee @ #21 LSU Game Thread, 6:00 PM ET, ESPN2

[Schasz]

This team is really too up and down. They play a heck of a game to beat undefeated Arizona. Unfortunately, that was there beast game so far this year. I suppose we'll just hope that the light comes on and they figure things out and play more consistently.

 

[TennTom]

That's what yall said last year and what happened.

They were a 5 seed. No where near an NIT team. Just stop.

 

[DocVOLiday]

Just keep chipping away at the lead

 

[SlyStone]

Fishback sucks. Get off your knees already.

His assessment is spot on. LSU is a bigger more athletic team.

 

[GBO18]

Man Bailey got blown by so easily.

TN fans act like we have the NCAA history of KY. You’d think we have 10 title banners hanging in the rafters of TBA. How quickly we forget how it felt to not even be in contention for post season play.

This season won’t be judged by a loss at LSU in January. We can all argue in April.

I agree that we do not have the history of some programs, and thus we shouldn’t be unreasonable. However, I disagree with the idea fans aren’t allowed to be upset with the product on the court. Way too much talent to be this inconsistent and play this poorly.

LSU and Auburn don’t exactly have stellar blue blood basketball history either, but their programs are in a much better position than ours.

Wilkinson almost pulls a player down and then acts like he doesn’t know why a foul was called on him.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

WHY DO WE WAIT SO DAMN LONG TO RUN!!!!!!! Same thing with last years team. LET THEM GO

 

[Vol737]

Little bit of a run here. Play some damn street ball boys. Let Barnes just yell at you later.

 

[golfballs]

Good defensive play bounces right to LSU

 

[VolunteerCeltic]

James with yet another miss....damn

 

[BreatheUT]

Between James and Bailey...my goodness

Still didn't win anything. Which is my point.

 

[GBO18]

Killing us JJJ. One pass then a shot.

 

[therealitytheory]

JJJ is pretty much terrible.

 

[johnboyhunter]

Another miss by JJJ

 

[tnvols72]

JJJ sucks, he thinks he is a shooter. Been setting on the bench and comes right in a shoots a 3

 

[chuckb1448]

That wasn't a FOUL

 

[vols 30]

JJJ is 1-7. He needs to be benched

 

[BigBabyWilliams]

JJJ just gonna keep launching…for the live of god someone else needs to take those shots

 

[chuckb1448]

JJJ sucks, he thinks he is a shooter. Been setting on the bench and comes right in a shoots a 3

JJJ needs to be 8 ft in

 

[tnvols72]

will be glad when he is gone

 

[1985Vols]

Defense, rebounding and passing.

 

[TennTom]

Still didn't win anything. Which is my point.

Your point was this is an NIT team. Dumb AF.

 

[kell7517]

Anyone know why Powell isn’t in for JJJ. Can’t be any worse, right?
