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

I got in trouble for calling one of those posters names. I’ve been hanging out on the PF too much.

This game is just BS....wasted a decent 3 point shooting performance on this BS game

 

[wmcovol]

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

Cal outcoached the $hit out of Barnes today. Their offense in first half was excellent. It wasn’t just hot shooting. Now 2nd half it got ridiculous with Wheeler hitting 3s.

 

[walkenvol]

Kentucky shooting:
FG% - 80%
3PT% - 75%
FT% - 100%

I’ve never seen a team shoot that well

 

[MosePhillipFulmer]

We'll be back after these messages. This is Kentucky basketball on the Vol Network

 

[87&91ALUM]

If Tennessee beats Kentucky, LSU, and Bama at home or neutral by twenty I’ll call it home advantage but, right now, we are getting schooled. Elementary schooled.

 

[golfballs]

It is. Wasting good 3pt shooting on this game too.

Haha No kidding. I’ll be so salty if this is our best 3pt shooting game this season

 

[sunnyvol79]

Have we gotten even one offensive rebound? Maybe my memory is failing me. Can't be many.

Very few

 

[hUTch2002]

Kentucky 31 rebounds
Tennessee 14 rebounds

Other than Uros literally no one boxes out. It drives me nuts.

Uk is on fire so I wouldn’t think to much into this game. Playing extra hard for Joe B Hall. Tennessee has had a good team the last few years but just from the eye test it looks like they don’t have the level of talent they usually do. I bet the game In Knoxville goes a little different

 

[gainesvol82]

If we shot like we are today against Bama, Tex Tech and LSU then we would have easily won all those games. Nothing we can do to match up against UK if their entire team is hitting everything.

If we lose by 20+ but this game gets us out of our shooting slump then I'm ok with it because it will pay dividends for upcoming games....if we can keep it up.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

I'm done with ORN though. He is truly awful. BHH might be lacking effort, and it might not have clicked for him yet, but ORN isn't any better. He's soft, he has almost no rebounding prowess, and he gets bullied on defense. I know what Rick said about BHH, but I personally disagree. I WOULD rather have BHH make mistakes and grow, rather than watch ORN make those exact same mistakes and keep playing.

 

[BigOrangeMojo]

Officiating might as well be headed to the house. KY walked and stepped on the line with no call.

The officiating has nothing to do with the game today...

 

[TrippieRedd]

He only shows up against scrub teams and disappears when we play someone decent.

I’ll prob get ripped for this, but isn’t KC the same way? I can’t think of a game against a quality opponent where he played well, besides UNC (please don’t say Colorado is a good team)

 

[1985Vols]

We’ll go .500 in conference play which will get us in. UT will beat the lowly teams and upset one higher ranked team at home to finish 10-8 in conference play. But this is definitely just a first weekend team.

Pretty sure we will lose a game or two that we shouldn’t as well. Could easily end up 8-10 in SEC

 

[tmack50]

Kentucky is playing loose and free and UT is playing tight down 24.

 

[sunnyvol79]

I dont think so , I said after they lost to LSU that this team has more loses coming but I was told its just 1 game.

. I thought this was a 24 or 25 win team

 

[TrippieRedd]

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

I’m aware.

 

[BreatheUT]

Plas runs in mud.

 

[87&91ALUM]

I hope they figure it out and our luck changes before tourney time.

 

[landscapingvol]

Agreed, it’s more of an anomaly.

It’s not an anomaly for Tennessee and a ridiculous take. The anomaly for Tennessee was the Arizona game

 

[TrippieRedd]

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

Oh well

 

[Putbacks]

NFL Wildcard games kick off shortly…

 

[chuckb1448]

Simply getting Smoked today, maybe we needed it, might wake someone up

 

[Switch 625]

They finally miss a shot and we can't rebound!
