The Official #25 Tennessee @ Auburn Game Thread, 12:00 PM ET, ESPN

[cobbwebb0710]

We lose this one, lose bad to Florida this week and get bounced the first game of the SEC tourney and we might play our way into the NIT instead

I have a feeling this team would turn down an NIT invite. They just don’t act like they are enjoying this season very much.
GBO!!

 

[VolFreakJosh]

He earns his money. Sure, his team sucks this year but they’re still better than our team obviously

Too bad he lied and f**ked all of us over

 

[SGMVols]

Me neither. I think it’s time

Kiss Kennedy Chandler goodbye

 

[mr.checkerboards]

They seem to be playing like they don’t care if they win. They have passed up a lot of shots. Over passing is just as bad as takin dog bad shots with the clock running down.

Our shot IQ is terrible. Too many long mid range jumpers, wild turn arounds or stupid deep threes 10 seconds into a possession. Then we panic and try to force it into the paint. This team is talented but has the IQ of a middle school team.

 

[JCP201]

Just catching bits and pieces of the game. This is pathetic. I mentioned the other day Auburn could beat UT because Auburn still has size and athleticism and to be honest we look like a bad team right now. Bad loss.

we definitely needs some bigs to rebound the ball. Seems like both Pons and Fulky are hurt.

What’s even more embarrassing is that if Auburn hit even a decent % of their free throws and had the missing players this would be a blowout of epic proportions.

“IF”

 

[Lankykong]

We tried to change our entire offense when Fulk showed he didn’t have it this year and it killed us. Shouldn’t have given the ball to the freshmen midyear because it made everyone indecisive. I’d rather see decisive misses than indecisive ones

 

[hUTch2002]

Barnes needs to recruit quicker players. Auburn is quicker across the board.

 

[TennesseeFan07]

This is unbearable.

 

[GBO18]

Nah it's because we're poor wittle boys who get pushed around and the mean ol SEC won't fix it!

Just gotta pray we get a good draw in the NCAA. And the offense looks like it did against Mizzou in the 1st game.

 

[SlyStone]

Pearls teams are always better prepared and better coached.

He hasn't sat since the start.

 

[tnvols72]

this is pathetic. they are an embarrassment

 

[golfballs]

Un ****ing believable

 

[VolsSportsFan]

Lol....losing by double digit to this s*** Auburn team.

Barnes' worst coaching job this season since getting here and it's not even close.

 

[casetopia]

This team is not having any fun. They look like they hate each other.

 

[GetEmVols]

One of Barnes worst teams.

 

[alvinkamara]

2 minutes to go, down 10, and you get shot clock violation.......pathetic

 

[Sudden Impact]

Watch how much better Tennessee will be with Chandler next year lol .

Better but not great......as long as we are running the offense that we are running I don't see any improvement....It has to change....this is a great example of dinosaur coaching and not adjusting...we have put everything on the Freshmens back and let the seniors slide

 

[GBO18]

Rick seems to be making this team miserable.

 

[Pacer92]

Plavisc > Fulky right now

Yep...and with the lack of a legitimate threat inside we are just a predictable try and make a move on your defender offense. No consistent shooters

 

[vader]

Sigh

 

[Catbone]

Pearl is a better basketball coach than Rick Barnes. Period.

 

[golfballs]

Pearls teams are always better prepared and better coached.

In college sports, motivation matters a lot. He’s a great motivator

 

[tnvols72]

started 10-1 and now they are a 500 team since. lol

 

[calban]

This team needs to cross the gender barrier and finish the season in women's volleyball. Might have a shot in post season.
