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

[uksam21]

Pathetic to be honest. Ky 7-13

We definitely are better than our record as evidence of what is occurring today.

 

[Giveem6]

This is without a doubt the most disappointing basketball in Tennessee history. Questioning Rick Barnes at this point as to what he's trying to do with all of this talent.

 

[BeecherVol]

A decent coach would have this UK team a tournament team by now

They play this way going forward that is still possible.

Truth be told they have a few good pieces and some others that are great athletes and average players. This team is not as talented as what they normally field.

 

[1985Vols]

The same as it’s been for the last 5 years

Does Holly Warlick coach our offense

 

[cobbwebb0710]

Working today. Another offensive stinker.

Pretty simple strategy really.
GBO!!

 

[VolFreakJosh]

But, because he has won. 700 games, he is an “ elite” coach as Josh calls says, correct ?

So who are we hiring to replace Barnes since you’re so sure that we’ll hire someone better?

 

[BreatheUT]

Missing JJJ

Appears to be a huge loss at this point.

 

[JonGrudensAgent]

Yeah, this one’s over guys. I knew KY couldn’t actually shoot, but we needed the refs to be pretty one-sided towards us and actually call shoves in the back which is not happening

TN has the worst home court "advantage" in the SEC.

 

[1985Vols]

This is without a doubt the most disappointing basketball in Tennessee history. Questioning Rick Barnes at this point as to what he's trying to do with all of this talent.

At this point of his career, he’s just cashing $5M checks

 

[Tnphil]

TN has no idea what they are trying to do on offense today.

Too much standing around then popping a long jumper with 5 seconds on the clock.

That pretty much seems to be our go to offense.

 

[BeecherVol]

Yep, our stellar defense is Swiss cheese today

I dont question coaching a lot but, Vescovi and Bailey on the floor together isn't not gonna turn out well on D.

 

[VOLinAL]

No JJJ and Springer basically doing zilch this game. Most bipolar team where we have players going for 30 a game then struggling to score 30 points a half.

 

[Power T-Rev]

Appears to be a huge loss at this point.

He gets a bunch of hate but he's one of our most complete players

 

[orangemadam]

We really miss JJJ. Our all everything player could have helped make it a lot closer. Vescovi and Fulk just appear to not be able to handle fast pace.

ON is still improving.

 

[vavolfan6]

Where is the assertiveness?!?! Need to make a run!!

 

[JonGrudensAgent]

Team goes 3 for 16 in the second half and extends the lead.

Only TN can manage that.

 

[1985Vols]

So who are we hiring to replace Barnes since you’re so sure that we’ll hire someone better?

I can promise you there are plenty of coaches out there that could do as good of a coaching job as Barnes has with this team

 

[tnvols72]

they hurry to get down the court so they can panic and start the passing game

 

[VolFreakJosh]

I can promise you there are plenty of coaches out there that could do as good of a coaching job as Barnes has with this team

Give me realistic names

 

[Volnbeers]

This team will be a classic 12/5 matchup upset in the tourney.

 

[vavolfan6]

We definitely are better than our record as evidence of what is occurring today.

NOPE!!

 

[BreatheUT]

He gets a bunch of hate but he's one of our most complete players

We need his size right now and versatility.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

This is without a doubt the most disappointing basketball in Tennessee history. Questioning Rick Barnes at this point as to what he's trying to do with all of this talent.

It's not even close to that.

 

[1985Vols]

We do nothing on offense to get players open

 

[gainesvol82]

We may have talent but it's all concentrated on the wings on offense, with no PG and reliable post this year. Shut down our jump shot and collapse on Springer and things get difficult.
