The Official #18 Tennessee @ Texas Game Thread, 8:00 PM ET, ESPN

[Switch 625]

I think that'll be a 2 when we get back. Looked like ZZ had a foot on the line.

That’s what I was thinking

 

[kiddiedoc]

I don't think its just IQ. This team really doesn't have big time talent. JJJ a 5 star in HS really a 2 star with no offensive game. Fulky just not strong inside. This team lacks talented BIGS.

BHH has potential

 

[amavol2]

Does anyone find it funny that Auburn is ranked number 1. Im fine with Barnes being our coach, but where are we going when he hangs it up? The direction we are trending does not seem favorable.

I hope y’all like crow on the cob

I hope you are correct

 

[TJVol95]

Didn’t you stop watching like 39mins ago?

Like most yes

 

[JRVOL11]

Would give us a chance if it was 4-5 mins left, but too little too late

 

[ChattownVFL]

We can't ever have anything as tennessee fans. I feel like we are a scientific experiment

 

[vols1071]

Look, for all the negativity I've shown posting about this game, I hope Tennessee can pull off this comeback and make me eat my words. I would love nothing more than to see the Vols dig out of this hole.

You think its been a good gameplan? Rotation?

 

[volmoon]

I hope y’all like crow on the cob

There's no crow to eat for this game even if we somehow pull out a win. This game is ugly.

 

[GBO18]

And everybody saying Texas is not a good team. Go look up their Net rankings. They will be a tourney team unless they just collapse down the stretch.

 

[Kicker82]

Gonna need a turnover or two and score to have a chance

 

[Orange Raid]

I know Fulky isn’t the same guy as last year. I think the head injury and covid have just taken everything from him athletically. Love Fulkerson, but he should just sit the rest of the year. He is a liability when played and it just looks horrible. I’m sure he is hoping to improve his draft status down the stretch but no NBA is going to draft him.

 

[chuckb1448]

If we had hit our Free Throws we would be up by two

 

[kiddiedoc]

We're just not talented this year. Our front court is b-a-d and our guards are limited. That makes for a weak team. Our most dependable scorer
doesn't yet have a basket! We're 8-16 from the free-throw line--which is embarrassing. Plasvic steps to the line for 2 and clangs both; that is not acceptable. You've been in a freakin' major college program for three years, make at least 1 FT FFS. Two guys whom we thought would be good from the 3-line this year--Powell and Bailey--have each played 11/12 minutes tonight and neither has even taken a shot. And of course Bailey doesn't much play anymore and has surely lost his confidence. The only freshman we get any contribution from is tiny. We're just a very offensively challenged team. Given how weak we are inside, Barnes should be playing Powell and Bailey more and we should just start jacking more 3s, IMO. Barnes likes to work the clock, typically, before a shot--and so we spend 25 seconds passing the ball around and...nothing. You might as well take your chances firing 3s.

Powell is a huge liability on D

 

[VolArmy74]

Would give us a chance if it was 4-5 mins left, but too little too late

It feels like we are down 15 as hard as offense has been to come by.

 

[AthensVol2007]

I am so ****ing tired of losing to every team with a ****ing pulse

It’s ok they say because we don’t have any bad losses…

Nevermind if we can’t beat the caliber of teams that we would face in the NCAAT

 

[tbones0711]

This is what happens whenever you have an inefficient offense going up against the best defense in the country. They have completely taken Vescovi out of the game and we don’t have any other shooters.

We just had back to back 3's and a chance to pull within 6. Vescovi has to realize they are collapsing on him and find the open man fast and that man can drive to the hoop. These players are basically lost because they aren't being coached properly.

 

[Kicker82]

Wow they gave Z a 3

 

[JRVOL11]

Why tf kc not in?

 

[D3Athlete]

Missing free throws in the first half biting us in the rear end right now.

 

[peerless98]

Down 7 with a little under 3 not impossible

6

Wrong thread

 

[YankeeVol]

10-0 run…

 

[vols 30]

Would give us a chance if it was 4-5 mins left, but too little too late

And 8 of 16 from the line .

 

[Kas232323]

Nobody better ever say this is a good defensive team. They only play good defense against teams that are garbage

I’m hoping blue font was intended here. We’ve given up 51 points. Are you a complete clown?
