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

3 things.
1. Our shooting was a lot better. Didn’t think we get to 79. Turnovers issues again tho.
2. Don’t matter how good we play at Rupp today, can’t beat Kentucky when EVERYONE makes everything. They won’t shoot like that rest of the year.
3. Time for a lineup change. Plain and simple. We were so much productive with BHH on the floor. Fulky shouldn’t even be first on the bench. Barnes need to face it and make the changes needed.

 

[D3Athlete]

I dont think they look at should have won games

They don’t, I just pointing out that our losses aren’t to bad teams like last year. Our schedule has been hard, and not taken advantage when we could.

All I can say folks

 

[VolsSportsFan]

The beautiful thing about volnation is everything we say is here.. Pick a side. You can't ride the middle. I assumed nothing. I took your words at face value.

Receipts:

You directly replied "No" that we don't make the tournament, then shifted to "a bubble team."

Careful, you'll be accused of "enjoying arguing" when you have the nerve to call out people moving the goalposts.

Yep, but question is will he? Probably not because then he would be admitting he was wrong all this time and his ego is too big for that

 

[GetEmVols]

Your right we got 79

I know my basketball.

 

[VolunteerCeltic]

Wow

 

[Hbg]

Seems most are figuring out what I’ve been saying for a year now, fulkerson is weak, poorest excuse for a 6th year player ever.

 

[1985Vols]

Very telling.. Grant and Admiral are to Barnes what Josh Dobbs was to Butch Jones.

That’s what I’m worried about. His era of mindset isn’t working for the game today. That’s why Roy left and coach K is leaving.

Im fine with doing it in a close hard fought game, you just look like an ass when you do it when youre getting drilled

You’re way too late. He and I argued a little, which I do enjoy actually, and then we kissed and made up. It’s all good. It’s all in fun anyway.

 

[Namorto1]

The league has improved for sure, but that is a telling stat.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Damn, suck ass man.

On to the next.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

I don't even have the energy to be mad any more. I've gotten pretty upset with how we've played lately, but I'm just tired and sad. We just are who we are at this point, and I don't want to keep getting worked up over this team,

I'm sadly getting into the same territory as I have with football. Football losses no longer really bother me because I just got used to it, and basketball is making me inch towards it. I still get upset with losing but it's starting to get less and less so.

 

[Race City Vol]

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

I don’t get this at all. The way I see it, he is our best player and this year has improved his defense dramatically. I think he is actually a good defensive player.

 

[therealitytheory]

Losses to bama, LSU, and KY on the road. Unbelievable, right?

Getting boat raced by two of them is the bigger issue

 

[1985Vols]

Not really, we should just expect to lose those games, right?

and when it does you get exposed...............

 

[JonGrudensAgent]

Pretty much says it all.

Team has been rudderless since Admiral and Williams left.
