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

[Volstylexx]

You may be right, but the key phrase you stated was “ to this point”. Even if we do make the tourney it will be another 1 game exit

Keep shifting the goal post. The poster's comment was that we don't make the tournament. That's moronic given where we are.

 

[johnboyhunter]

I don’t think there is any way we cut their FG %.

 

[DooleyOrangePants]

Leave fulky in the locker room.

Tell him to stay in the locker room and count that Pals money.

He stupidly thinks I’m overreacting to losing to some good teams. I’m not mad that we’ve lost against a good schedule but idiots like him start assuming things and we know what that does.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Joe B. Hall died this morning, so it was dumb of me to NOT drop some money on this Kentucky moneyline. It seems like fate that they would shoot like this against Tennessee on the day their former coach passes away.

 

[Chris4Vols22]

Think both teams will regress toward their means, but problem is we are in too big of a hole

You may be right. Too early to tell imo. Probably need to be within six points with 10-13 mins left.

 

[golfballs]

UK beats anyone in the country playing the way they are right now. Great game by them. I’d like to clean up our mistakes in the second half and hope they revert to their average in the second half

 

[BreatheUT]

Lol, there’s one guy on the roster who will be drafted

No more than 3. BHH will still get drafted as of today. Vescovi might go 2nd round next year. Your point remains. There’s not a lot of talent on the roster.

 

[vols 30]

Im tired of the fumbling bumbling stumbling with the ball every time he touches it

I am too, but we will hear the covid excuse.

 

[wmcovol]

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

It’s not a fluke either. They getting easy shots.

 

[SonOfGodVolforlife]

I think our guards can play with anybody. Our inside game is weak on both sides . Need them guys inside to step up.

 

[VolFreakJosh]

What has BHH shown to be drafted?

He’s too lazy to work at the college level.

 

[DooleyOrangePants]

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Folks proclaiming at this point that TN doesn’t make the tournament know very little about basketball.

9th in net rankings
13th in Kenpom
15th ranked Strength of Schedule

3 quad 1Wins including over #2 AZ, #33 NC
0 quad 2,3, or 4 losses

You can be mad about losing to ranked teams, but this team has done absolutely nothing at this point to jeopardize making the NCAA tournament.

At this stage, we’ll make the tourney and we should be happy about that. Doubtful we will make a run based on what we’ve seen so far this season. Same old, same old. Looking like a first round exit.

 

[Bigorange123]

Not tried it but seems to be popular here.

The announcer on TV is raving about it. Lol

 

[BreatheUT]

What has BHH shown to be drafted?

Size and potential. He still supposed to be in HS.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Also…Jay Bilas is such a douchebag announcer.

Seriously having an ice cream? Surprised there’s room with all that UK in there

 

[VOLnVANDYland]

That’s a good way for Tshiebwe to end up with a 20/20. This is not a game for BHH

But it is for dudes with zero athleticism? Got it

 

[1985Vols]

Im tired of the fumbling bumbling stumbling with the ball every time he touches it

How did he play so great vs. Arizona? So puzzling

 

[Volfan574]

Second half could be brutal- Viewer discretion advised

 

[Akneal]

Is Hatfield hurt? Rick Barnes should start playing our freshman, can't stand watching Fulkerson and JJJ play losing basketball.

 

[Bigorange123]

Powell may have been better off to have stayed at AU w/Pearl. He wouldn't have been pressured to play D there, just score. He probably couldn't crack their starting lineup but would get more minuets. D is just not his thing so he doesn't fit Barnes style.

He knew he was recruited over

 

[beachvol23]

Barnes roster management overall and perfect with BHH is a constant problem. Why do you recruit a 1&done player that doesn’t play defense when you knew about that last year? If you’re not going to play him why bother? Barnes mismanagement of Johnson Springer and now Chandler and BHH will negatively affect recruiting

 

[vol94]

I would prefer to see BHH play and make mistakes vs. Fulky as there at least is upside to BHH. Fulky has gotten worse every year since his Sophomore season

Yeah, I’d like to see BHH get some minutes. I can only assume that he must not practice well and Barnes thinks the moment is to big for the young man. It’s easy for me as a fan to sit back and give my opinion.

I just hope this team can build from this game, regardless of outcome, and go on a few runs this season as I had final four aspirations for this team.

 

[tnvols72]

The reason we are losing this game is because our defense is pathetic and Kentucky can’t miss. Just not our day.

That is the go to excuse along with its just one game when Tn loses. This team is bad and not too many will admit it.

 

[VOLnVANDYland]

He should be in high school right now. You cant coach his size and athelticism dude. Should have gone to another program if he wanted to play this year. Stuck behind ORN and Plavsic is baffling
