We have looked like crap today but the refs are from Kentucky.... its obvious

 

[1985Vols]

42 points in 30 minutes....

Not sure it would make a difference

Easy to celebrate blowout wins over undermanned South Carolina teams, but this team cannot beat the upper tier of the SEC. Their offensive woes are well documented at this point, they are who they are. Kentucky is good enough to win out, win the SEC tourney and go to the NCAA. Cal has this team gelling, UT will be hard pressed to make any noise in either tourney.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

Once again this team has no leader. When people are struggling the whole damn team stuggles and nobody steps up and leads.

I know we're missing JJJ but there is no way he's that big of a piece. This is a S*** performance.

 

[Teeboy]

How many times did they get a decided advantage from the refs in those games?

Oh...misunderstood.....my bad. Agreed.

Kentucky is not making the NCAA

When this stinks it up they stink it up badly.

Can't shoot or rebound.

 

[BreatheUT]

Wide open miss

 

[VolsSportsFan]

Johnson isn't even close on these 3s.

He’s a starter? Let’s take Jackson out and see how this game goes

 

[tnvols72]

maybe one day we will see some players that can shoot at Tn

 

[TrumpedUpVol]

We have too many 30% shooting nights to be a top 25 team. When we struggle, its really ugly

We struggle, on average, every other game. I get that it's no longer OOC play and that the SEC isn't necessarily a weak conference, but the inability to string together two consecutive good games is beyond frustrating.

 

[1985Vols]

Insanely frustrating. I can’t recall such an inconsistent team.

Keep the cup on

 

[VolsSportsFan]

Kentucky is leaving the door open and this bunch of fools are tripping over themselves trying to walk through the door.

 

[JonGrudensAgent]

Oh...misunderstood.....my bad. Agreed.

I glanced through the stats a second ago.

Only the SC and Vandy games at a glance where they took 10 more FT than the opponent.

Edit...throw in Arkansas too.

Any team that can play tough D and has big guys in the post totally shut us down.

No they are not. This blowout against UT is fools gold. They are 7-13.

You seriously think JJJ is the only reason we're playing this badly today? That's ridiculous.

 

[tnvols72]

Tn can say goodbye to 4 seed and and they could still keep dropping.

Not sure we’ll be in the Top 25 next week

 

[VolFreakJosh]

Still waiting on the realistic names for Barnes replacement?

 

[cwbytruckers]

These freshman are highly ranked I know but they are not ready for the next level. I dont see the maturity level in them.

 

[Cherokee Orange]

Barnes cant make the shots for them. . .

But he sure as heck can recruit some shooters. These athletic 5 Stars can’t hit the broad side of a barn door. Pathetic!!!

 

[Switch 625]

This team is never ready to play, always ice cold and can’t hit a layup for nothing.
