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

[KB5252]

I'm not piling on Barnes, just asking the question.

I see many on here taking about 5* on the bench. Seems we've had a couple not pan out or not breaking into the rotation. Who are the players and why can't they break into the rotation?

Are we missing on recruits? Or just not developing them? If the latter is the case how long before it starts to affect our recruiting?

 

[SGMVols]

I’m seeing NIT

Plenty of UT teams have been blown out at Rupp and still comfortably made the tournament.

 

[JRVOL11]

We think this is bad? Wait til they run into Auburn.. oh god

 

[Caz]

If our defense is our “theme” we must be getting schooled today as KY’s defense is way better. Sorry, but we’re not ready for “prime time” even if KY is shooting lights out. A light better come on after this “beat down” or the season could turn really bad

Vandy and Georgia gave UK a better game

 

[sunnyvol79]

Disappointing that we apparently didn’t get off the bus for this game and I don’t think Kentucky is that good but we are worse apparently

 

[vol94]

Get well soon and hang in there. Been there right with you, it’s no joke.

Thanks! I’m trying to keep my mind busy and move around. Reading the game thread and other sports’ news helps as I m quarantined in the bedroom si I don’t pass it to my wife and kids, who leave for college this week from break.

Be careful some posters on here get sensitive when u speak the truth. They will call u all kinds of names.

 

[I4Vols]

Waiting for ice cream man to tell me for the fifth time that the uk dude tipped the ball away from SV a few mins ago.

 

[JRVOL11]

Vandy and Georgia gave UK a better game

Which is sad

 

[golfballs]

This beatdown was so predictable. Tired of watching this ****. We just aren't a very good team. We are charmin soft.

If you quit watching can you quit posting too? Thanks

 

[alvinkamara]

Will we even make the big dance this year ?

NONONONONO

 

[D3Athlete]

UK is a 34% 3pt shooting team

Exactly, and looks what happening. Usually teams cool off after 8 or 10 minutes. Not for 27 minutes in the game.

 

[Orangefog]

Wheeler hits a 3.... yea go warm up the bus

I despise Kentucky, I despise their constant shuffling in of temporary rental 5 star players every season to win games, I despise ESPN's incessant cheerleading of Kentucky like they're some genius gifted child that never does anything wrong, I despise it all.

 

[MAD]

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

Agreed, it’s more of an anomaly.

 

[vols1071]

Fulky getting some good cardio in today.... Just running up and down the floor with a double 0

 

[volsarelife1]

Kentucky 31 rebounds
Tennessee 14 rebounds

 

[DooleyOrangePants]

And?

There’s a reason why UK didn’t want him anymore.

His work ethic shows that.

Are you in practices? Or are you just taking everything Barnes says as the gospel? Because sticking with the way things are isn’t really doing us any favors?

 

[1985Vols]

Yeah and I guess today has proven Kentucky is the best offense in the country.

Not sure about the “ best” but definitely one of the best. And they are a heck of a lot better team than we are. And to think BTO was saying they weren’t a tourney team a few weeks ago, LOL

 

[sunnyvol79]

Yep Kentucky isn’t that good they will win 20 plus and get in the tournament and get bounced in the first or second round. Cal is so overrated

Let’s not forget about scheme. I am still somewhat of a Barnes Fan but it can’t be ignored that he has always done pretty bad in the Tourney.

 

[BreatheUT]

When you play awful the other team feels the basket looks like the ocean.

Let's face it. The season is not going to turn out like we had hoped. We are woeful inside. Barnes has no answers.

 

[chuckiepoo]

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!

Get well soon!
