The Official #22 Tennessee @ #18 Kentucky Game Thread, 1:00 PM ET, ESPN

[BartW]

Yet again with the push off… that has to be a half dozen by now.

 

[JRVOL11]

Wonder if Barnes ever heard of a zone?

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Jesus…we’re not even playing bad.

Almost 80% from FG for them.

I mean we’re playing truly atrocious defense. This is on us.

 

[SlyStone]

Coach Cal needs a towel down.

 

[JRVOL11]

Ty Ty make go for 30+

 

[Ernest T. Vol]

38-52. Can’t listen to ice cream guy. Halftime.

Turn that $hit off and listen to Bob and Bert.

 

[MAD]

21-27 for 78%

Lmao

That is insane and unheard of.

 

[Bigorange123]

Kentucky playing on their tip toes. We flat.

adjust at halftime and win. We have done it before.

 

[SonOfGodVolforlife]

Watching this team is so painful sometimes. Powell can’t hit 3s. JJJ makes you wonder what in the world he’s doing. Fulkerson is like a child in the paint… Chandlers pretty good tho. He’s gone after this year.

 

[Mr French]

How has JJJ and Fulkerson become so careless with the basketball.

 

[wmcovol]

This team is so hard to watch. The offense is terrible.

Turnovers have hurt but I’d taken 36 pts at half when the game started. I’d never thought with 36 they’d be down 14.

 

[VOLnVANDYland]

Slim chance that continues. Not sweating a single digit deficit in the first half.

What about a 14 point halftime deficit?

 

[turdherder11]

Never seen anything like this.

Let’s just take the L and the confidence that we can actually shoot today and move on.

Defense is not great but shooting by KY is also not that defensible.

They're getting uncontested wide open looks. Got no clue what the D is doing . Ready for Fulky, JJJ and VB to move on. They're the Anti-offense .

 

[VolsSportsFan]

I mean we’re playing truly atrocious defense. This is on us.

They deserve credit for the shooting, but anyone acting like we aren't playing bad defense needs to just stop.

 

[cbcollins]

I dont think ive ever seen a team shoot 80% for an entire half. That's mind blowing.

 

[1985Vols]

Which is fine if we had a very average roster, but we have how many 5 stars?

At some point the coaches have to take the blame. This roster is loaded with talent

 

[SGMVols]

This game throws a monkey wrench into the “offense is what wins now” theory bandied about by some on here.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

This isnt even a good UK team.

 

[AthensVol2007]

Dude stop

Dude he has been pathetic since Arizona. He’s good for a couple dominating performances a year then he’s a brown recluse most other times. There’s little middle ground with him.

 

[Sin City Vol]

There's not been much to rebound considering they've only missed 6 shots.

We’re not getting enough offensive rebounds

 

[johnboyhunter]

Can’t believe they are on pace to crack 100 and shooting 78%. It’s not like we are shooting horrible

 

[volsarelife1]

Man how quickly Vols turn on their own.

If you can't admit Fulky sucks this season and acts like he doesn't want to play that's orange colored glasses.

You can appreciate everything he's given over the years and still say he sucks this season

 

[zaqhhh]

We chose to shoot well in the one game where shooting well won’t matter

Sounds about right

 

[SGMVols]

Which is fine if we had a very average roster, but we have how many 5 stars?

Not as many as Kentucky

 

[Bigorange123]

Who is the announcer that sounds like Squidward from SpongeBob?

I think he sounds like Mark from Colombo
