This “second best defense in the nation” crap needs to stop

Because it is. Feel free to petition ESPN to consider your opinion.

It's getting really hard to not go full nega-Vol with a performance like this today. I didn't expect a win, but I expected us to look a lot better than this. I'm trying to be positive. I want to believe in this team. I want to think this is just a "rough patch". Some posters keep suggesting it's too early to be concerned about this team, but performances like this make me seriously question what it exactly is about this team to keep getting excited about.

We can't hold on to the Arizona win forever. We haven't played good basketball in 3 weeks. In fact, we look to be getting actively worse, not better. Where is the improvement? I honestly don't see it.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

I don't care how we play. We were never gonna beat a team hitting literally everything.

Just hope we keep up the effort, they may hang 100 on us but if we score 80+ maybe we get out of the recent offensive slump.

 

[DooleyOrangePants]

This team looks like they are burnt out and afraid of making any mistakes.

Barnes needs to step back and let these guys play. There’s nothing to lose at this point, games all but lost. Get BHH, Mashack and others some experience against a top team and build on what comes out of it.

 

[hUTch2002]

Based on?

Fulkerson wasn’t even a highly rated recruit coming out of high school and produced more great moments than BHH has.

Dumb.

Might as well get BHH some minutes this half though. It’ll help him later.

 

[PC Jr.]

Bad feeling about this game. Hope the offense shows up

This team is bad. The coaches look lost. Let’s look forward to the2022-23 season and all the elite recruits coming in …. Sigh

 

[87&91ALUM]

Kentucky just shooting lights out. You can’t beat that regardless of everything else.

It is called defense. Most of Kentucky’s shots were not challenged.

 

[D3Athlete]

Life, death, taxes, and teams having career days against us. Like this is unbelievable. Never ever seen a team shoot like this for this long. Don’t matter if it’s open or not. It’s going in. Just sucks.

Dumb.

BHH has only been here 5 minutes, and Barnes wont play him because he thinks its better to play players with zero athleticism.....Dumb post as usual.

Have a good afternoon volnation. I enjoy posting and reading your comments. I’ve been down with covid since Wed and can’t seem to shake it. (2nd time since Nov,2020). Take care!

Numbers don’t lie, but I think we have proven today that they can be deceiving

They certainly won't be number 2 after this

Even when they almost miss
it bounces on the rim and rolls in.

 

[GBO18]

Let’s play some of the young guys and see what they got against elite competition. Game is all but over.

Offensively. We looked better offensively the second half against SC and again today.

UK is a 34% 3pt shooting team

 

[PC Jr.]

Taking my son to his first Vol sporting event.

Last time I saw the Vols in Rupp Lamonte Turner went off and Admiral put an exclamation point on the game with a run-out dunk as time expired. UK fans were PISSED.

I’m sorry. That was a poor choice of events.

 

[BreatheUT]

Making Kentucky look unbeatable.

Tbis loss doesn't feel that bad. I predicted it so I saw it coming. We struggle to score with subpar post game. We have good guards but lack size which is not offset in the post because it's garbage.

 

[alvinkamara]

52 points in a HALF.......we're garbage

 

[SonOfGodVolforlife]

Kentucky is just playing lights out at home. They took the momentum from the beginning and hasn’t stopped. This game is more impressive for Kentucky then it is a bad look for Tennessee

 

[JRVOL11]

The fact we haven’t seen one adjustment is bad

 

[MAD]

Not much to ‘woo’ about today.

 

[87&91ALUM]

We would be better playing man to man. The coaches would better tell who was losing the one on ones.

 

[1985Vols]

Based on Fulkerson play this season? He gets pushed around in the paint. He’s outmatched. At the very least, Hatfield wouldn’t get pushed around. He’d get more boards.

Fulky zero rebounds today

 

[ttocswob]

That was nice!
