WE SUCK

 

[golfballs]

Barnes joking with Calipari after the game. That pisses me off even more……

Should have knifed him.

 

[CJBlaze]

Chandler
Vescovi
Mashack
JJJ
BHH

That's who I go with as starters in the next game. In no world should Fulky or Olivier start. BHH gave us more in 9 minutes than those two combined in 20~ minutes each.

Absolutely the best line up we got, I agree

 

[volsarelife1]

Added to the list, also.

You're on the list

 

[Cartervol]

Either Barnes has wildly missed the mark on his lineup, or there just isn't the talent on this team people think there is. This bunch keeps getting ran out the gym..

 

[Volfan2012]

We won’t get 80

Your right we got 79

Take out JJJ and insert Powell

 

[Zues1]

Worst game against Kentucky in history?

No

 

[RockyTop140]

If you told me we’d shoot over 50% and hit 11-23 3s I’d have guaranteed a win. Crazy.

Hate to say this, but vescovi is too much of a defensive liability. Not athletic enough to play good perimeter D. And he’s a turnover machine when he’s relied on to be the pg. He should come in to be an off ball player when we need to score, doesn’t need to be playing 20+ minutes imo

 

[SouthKnoxVOL]

Love Chandler pointing out family in the stands for Calipari to wave at...

Lmao...yall just cry about everything

 

[casetopia]

Think we all saw this one coming. This team is nothing special. Will be lucky to finish .500 in sec play.

 

[Johnnyreb#VFL]

Loss doesn’t hurt us. We were underdogs and picked to lose. The way we lost is concerning, but will be a teaching point and swift kick in the a

It’s not talent it’s coaching or lack thereof

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Cue Kennedy to Kentucky in the transfer portal rumors

I kid. I kid.

 

[lostsheep]

Lmao...yall just cry about everything

No crying...just pointing it out.

The talent just isn’t what we had hoped for. KC is probably the only one that would play at UK.

 

[Vols All Day]

Take out JJJ and insert Powell

Right now, Powell is probably best coming off the bench. If he starts to show some consistency, then would be the time to consider starting him.

 

[golfballs]

We get our offense and forget how to play defense? Crazy.

They shot 61% from 3. Defense has little to do with that.

 

[vols 30]

Lmao...yall just cry about everything

Oh, the irony

 

[OrangeBeachVol]

Get whipped by thirty, handshakes and friendly conversations. Okay. Sure. Why not. No big deal anyway.

Game is what it was. What do you expect them to do. Have a wrestling fist fight now?

 

[VolsAgainstTheWorld15]

Take out JJJ and insert Powell

I wouldn't play him at the 4, so he still comes off the bench for me.

 

[Namorto1]

Outclassed and couldn’t compete but only counts as one loss, but we continue trending the wrong way. We really need to beat Vandy in Nashville or this may get out of hand in a hurry. Players who are scared shouldn’t play. Barnes needs to seriously re-evaluate his rotation and who gets minutes. If he doesn’t he is an idiot, refuses to see what is clearly evident on the court, and I’ve been a supporter of his and accused of being a sunshine pumper for years.

Barnes joking with Calipari after the game. That pisses me off even more……

Barnes is 8-7 vs Calipari since he's been here...he doesn't have to slink away. Plus they're pals..

He’s not a PG but he doesn’t have to be those year. I kind of like our area when we have ZZ at 1 and KC at 2.

 

[tnvols72]

According to kenpom, all 5 of losses are to teams in the top 17. Not gettin beat to bad teams. 3 of them we should have won.

I dont think they look at should have won games
