The Official #22 Tennessee vs. #3 Kansas Game Thread, 7:30 PM, ESPN

[Caz]

What could we be without these mass turnovers? Geez.. but happy to be up by 8

 

[K-town Vol Fan]

18 TOs and up 8….wow

Not a good sign for Kansas, or my bet. I'd be much happier with a win anyway. I'm used to losing bets.

 

[firestorm]

Terrific the Volunteers are leading at halftime.

 

[walkenvol]

8 point lead with 17 turn overs and allowing 5-6 offensive rebounds….hard to believe we’re leading

 

[vol94]

18 TOs and up 8….wow

18 or 8 turnovers for the first half?

 

[87Vol]

We’re being mauled by Kansas and they are barely calling half of their fouls!

 

[#1volsfan]

Barnes is gonna be chewing some butt at halftime..in the most Christlike way possible though.

 

[RavinDave]

Vols getting mugged on every possession.

 

[The Dog]

Considering we had 17/18 turnovers, I'm ecstatic to be up by 8 against the #3 Jayhawks

 

[TheMookieMonster]

If we can just cut out this stupid turnovers, this team would be elite. 17 freaking turnovers and we’re up by 8.

 

[VolGee4]

Don’t care too much about turnovers if this defense keeps up. As Dykes just mentioned, it’s 3 games in 3 days. Willing to give them so slack.

Several also were the result of a lack of a call. Key was fouled, and Mashak got tied up but the wrong positioned official called a travel. These are veteran officials, who are out of position making calls.

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

I can’t tell who whines more - Self or the Kansas crowd. Good grief what a bunch of soft little babies.

Missed opportunity to talk about Kansas player named D

Lol..what the hell else you got to do in Kansas?

Yup. Defense is fantastic. Hit a few 3’s, cut the TO’s and win a tournament

These veteran officials are just happy to be spending thanksgiving in the Bahamas . And I can’t blame them to be honest lol

 

[VolsSportsFan]

I'm kind of amazed that in 2 of the past 3 games we've closed out the half with a 3 pointer for our last possession. Last possessions have always seemed like a bad thing for us.

 

[OrangeInKy]

They have got to stop giving the ball away. Most of these turnovers have nothing to do with Kansas playing defense

17 turnovers. Crazy. And they're still winning.

 

[cwbytruckers]

Im just curious is it muggy in that gym because a couple of the turnovers looked like it was just hard to hold on to a slippery ball.

Is it bad your 7’2 center has as many turnovers as rebounds in the first half?

 

[YankeeVol]

Well, it's pretty sick that we have an 8 point lead.

Unreal with the turnovers but I’ll take it

 

[SGMVols]

Too many turnovers of course. But it wouldn’t be 17 if the refs stopped allowing Kansas to play football. You’re going to have turnovers if the other team is allowed to mug and body check you all night.

Commenting on a basketball player and basketball coach in a basketball game thread. The nerve.

can't stop won't stop

 

[connor]

I'm just happy we have the lead at half despite all the turnovers in the first

 

[vol94]

How does a team turn it over 18 times in one half? I saw the first ten min and then missed part of the final ten min. I saw many of the turnovers, including Uros throwing it away and fumbling the ball inside, but 18? Wow! Barnes has to be happy his team up 8 @ the half.

Kansas will probably get hot in the 2nd half and turn up the defensive pressure.
