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

Way to tie the 2nd half!!!

 

[Sudden Impact]

officiating has been terrible.....but not the issue...allow a physical game...SAD that this team cannot get it together...everybody brings their A Game but we should be able to sustain it....right now it is coaching and apathy.....hard to change in the middle of the stream but this seesaw is ridiculous...no consistency from game to game........

 

[zjcvols]

They still have NBA players that would start on other teams

We lost at home to a 7-13 team by 15. Just stop.

Which has all of jack s*** with what I said.

Dude I usually agree with you but you're acting like you're Barnes' son or something.

 

[tnvols72]

I agree, really has caught up with us. Alexander was our last true big. Wish we had a Slay/Stokes type on roster.

No clue why Barnes can’t seem to recruit bigs.

Barnes pathetic offense does not call for bigs.

 

[Bigorange123]

looks like Hollys offense, pass it around until the shot clock runs down

That’s because the stars are playing with the head and not heart. Barnes can’t shoot and pass it for them. see the gap an go or pass

 

[zjcvols]

Barnes pathetic offense does not call for bigs.

Actually it’s the opposite. When he has an excellent big man, the offense is good. Great even. But when he doesn’t then the offense isn’t could. He doesn’t know how to adjust.

 

[Lankykong]

Season not over but I think we can start using disappointing and underachieving to describe the season.

I think it’s still too early since no one cares till March

 

[tennesseeduke]

LMAO Kentucky shot 40%!!!

They scored 45 in the 1 St half so yes they shout it pretty good

 

[Volnbeers]

Best team barnes has put together here and it’s clearly regressed as the season has gone on. Couple that with the fact that he’s terrible in the tourney...time to move on.

I’m not.

Just being realistic.

Our basketball team could be a whole lot worse right now.

We shouldn’t force Barnes out that made us a respectable team again.

No matter how they try to spin it, KY was 7-13 and the real Ky showed up in the 2nd half. They wasnt saying this when Tn beat Ky a couple weeks ago. It was how bad Ky was

He knows, but is too stubborn, his recruiting of any posts and PG DESERVES MASSIVE CRITICISM

 

[zjcvols]

They scored 45 in the 1 St half so yes they shout it pretty good

They shot 40% all game. That’s not good.

We have recruited bigs and some have ended up at schools being investigated by FBI and/or NCAA. Wonder why?

The Admiral Schofield teams were much better than this

The problem is they dont have a big man is my point

JFC.....why do you turn any criticism into a "FAHR BARNES!" thing? You do realize there is such thing as legit criticism, right?

My God, you sound like a person defending their political party.

 

[tnvols72]

that team would destroy this team by 25

 

[Lankykong]

Volnation is vey passionate and I enjoy the conversation w fellow Vol fans. But please don’t say refs or missed/bad call cost us the game.

Officiating rarely causes the outcome of games. Yes it’s happened (Vs Purdue in tourney w foul called) in the past but rarely is the cause of a win or loss.

Yep. SEC refs are the worst in basketball and favor KY every game, but we were determined to lose this

 

[mr.checkerboards]

The Admiral Schofield teams were much better than this

The team that lost to Purdue in the sweet 16 would dog walk this team.

There’s plenty of posters who wants Barnes fired.

This team is getting worse. They are not improving in any one position right now

 

[Enki_Amenra]

Firing Barnes would be one of the dumbest things anyone could do. . . so I fully expect UT to do it.

 

[Lankykong]

We need to rest the team. Kinda hoping for a first round exit in the SEC tournament so we have a few weeks for guys to not be dead (#BruinVol)
