A lot of people say that about you.

Alot of people don't want none.

 

[beachvol23]

once again Joe James could’ve cut at the three points and he screwed up then he screwed up the next play now we’re back to nine points again! How is that guy still playing he is absolutely awful

 

[lilesrt]

Do we practice free throws?

 

[zooguy]

Chandler tries to do too much.

 

[Volstylexx]

We were never in this game. Maybe at the end for a split second.

so technically… we were in it?

 

[VolsAgainstTheWorld15]

Bad sequence there seals it. At this stage of the game, I'm not sure why we didn't foul the absolute heck out of Eason instead giving him the fast break dunk, especially after he intentionally stepped all over Vescovi

 

[87&91ALUM]

Flop

 

[vol94]

Frustrating

 

[Mr French]

Here comes 10 minutes of fouling.

Free Throws and TO's

 

[tnvols72]

Chandler is not that good. He’s no top dog!

This

 

[sechamp2012]

Nah.. not really.

Blue font?

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Wow. Two pathetic possessions in a row. Didn’t run any kind of set, just sat there and dribbled the play clock down. Pitiful

Yeah. I have no idea what that crap was. You’re down 5 and there are less than 2 minutes left and you just motion everyone away and you dribble the shot clock down to a few seconds before you even try to get something up.

 

[therealitytheory]

Cut it to 5 with the ball...never got a shot off. Damn.

Would like to hear Barnes explain what he was playing for there and what the offensive strategy was, because there wasn’t one. They looked like they had no idea what to do.

But I’m sure it was on the players not executing….whatever that was.

 

[TooLegit2Quit]

The bail out. Barnes is too soft. We should have been fouling like them this half.

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

Free Throws and TO's

This is THE difference in a tough team and one who is not.

 

[GBO18]

We got the Cocks next.

 

[Caz]

We can not buy a clutch 3!

 

[D3Athlete]

Gotta call a timeout in those situations. One positive out of this absolute clown show. We didn’t quit, still looked godawful in the process. They didn’t rollover.

 

[BreatheUT]

He kills us….

He has been putrid in this game. Just horrible. We are a man short on offense when he is in there. Just the truth. I'm not seeing what Barnes is seeing.

 

[1985Vols]

I tell you what, it’s not a given that this team makes the tournament. I believe they will but the SEC is absolutely brutal this year. They better figure out how to put the ball in the basket. One thing is certain. I really thought this team had the pieces for a deep run but that isn’t happening. We won’t win a game in the tournament.

That’s where I’m at at this point of the season. This team just can’t put the ball in the basket enough to beat good teams. I think we will finish 6th or 7th in the SEC and probably be a bubble team

 

[87&91ALUM]

Put a fork in it. See ya tomorrow for Lady Vols game.
