The Official #19 Tennessee vs. Kentucky Game Thread, 1:00 PM ET, CBS

[VolunteerCeltic]

Barnes needs to light into this team before halftime

 

[I4Vols]

So true. We need some dogs on this team

One has a sore paw

 

[tnvols72]

Tennessee does not have the shooters to just turn it on when they need to

 

[vols1071]

Barnes needs to make an adjusment defensively..... Go full court or traps or something... Kentucky able to run what they want too easy

 

[VolFreakJosh]

Who are you, Barnes son?

No.

I don’t overreact like you do 90% of the time.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

Springer needs to show up.

 

[vols 30]

Springer and Vescovi - 0 points

 

[chef3531]

This is what drives me nuts with this bunch. Zero consistency. Barnes lives and dies by his twenty pass and mid range jump shot offense. Tennessee shoots more mid range jump shots than any team in the country. Heard that stat on the radio the other day. Haven't seen anything today that makes me think that isn't true.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

I’m not writing the Vols off yet. They have talent and I’ve watched this Kentucky team fold, several times this season.
GBO!!

Yeah & KY is shooting waaay above their averages.

We have been over ranked all year

We are a good 4 or 5 seed...about right, I think. Anything can happen though....

 

[GBO18]

UK gotta cool off. But we may stay cool all game.

 

[1985Vols]

Some people might not like to hear it but he has not been good for significant stretches this season

He is a freshman which is typical, however, if he is supposedly the 7th projected pick in the NBA draft he needs to show it consistently

 

[TheMookieMonster]

It hurts to say but with how wildly inconsistent we are it would not surprise me if we are a 4/5 seed that loses to a 12/13. It’s all or nothing. We either play lights out or lay a huge egg. And those are the teams that are most vulnerable.

Please, please find some damn consistency.

 

[Matt2496]

I just hope we can get this within 10 before halftime

We will end up being a 5 seed at best, maybe a 6 when it’s all done

 

[gainesvol82]

Missing JJJ a lot. Glue guy who defends well and helps the offense run smooth and is a threat from deep or on the drive.

UK is going to take away Springer/Johnson as much as possible and I don't think the other guys can get it done

 

[BreatheUT]

Dang it...Springer should've passed that out.

 

[Teeboy]

We are still in it right now.....and KY is playing out of their mind......

 

[1985Vols]

No.

I don’t overreact like you do 90% of the time.

You carry water for Barnes

 

[VolsSportsFan]

Our future NBA stars are sucking hard today.

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

Stupid lazy under hand pass

 

[tnvols72]

Springer makes too many stupid passes

 

[VolunteerCeltic]

Flip the script, press them on makes

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

Springer makes too many stupid passes

Yes under hand. Or lazy bad ones

 

[VolsAgainstTheWorld15]

A lineup of Vescovi, Bailey, Springer, Johnson, and Pons would be best for us right now. Should allow us to spread the floor better

 

[1985Vols]

Springer and Keon really struggling today
