The Official #4 Tennessee vs #15 Kentucky Game Thread, Saturday 4:00 PM EST/CBS

[VolCalls]

Perfect storm - they’re on fire and we’re ice cold. We’ve also missed quite a few FTs.

I still think if we lose a close one we get the #1 seed out West. Kentucky has played themselves up to a #3, IMO.

 

[Voltopia]

If Tennessee is already this tired, I start to worry about what they'll have in the tank come tournament time. Especially with the SECT in-between.

 

[vol94]

We do!

Who shot it ?

 

[Clad in Big Orange]

Yeah, no. We are playing horribly.

I agree. But even at our best I’m not sure we beat these guys with the way they are playing.

 

[Jravol78]

At least turning sound off

 

[BeardedVol]

Well, at least we can stop speculating about the 1 seed possibility.

 

[SGMVols]

We look like a team in the home stretch of 4 straight top 20 games. Not going to panic. We have 6 days to rest. And boy do we need it.

 

[VFL9798]

They are hitting shots and we aren’t

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Kentucky is 50% from 3. 11/22. Hard to beat that.

 

[Score50]

Hopefully Knecht gets an apology for getting almost zero help.

Amen. Everyone says we look tired. Frig me. These guys are 20. 20 year olds don’t get tired. We just need an excuse. Please. DK has no help.

 

[Volnbeers]

Just a terrible shot out of the TO

 

[SGMVols]

Well, at least we can stop speculating about the 1 seed possibility.

We can still get it if Arizona and UNC lose, or we reach the SECT final

 

[cwbytruckers]

Vescovi and James disappeared first half. James playing hard second half. But Ziegler has been a no show.

 

[ColinS]

Terrible offense out of the timeout

 

[TennTom]

I would have rather lost to both USCe and Bama before losing this game today. Especially like we're losing. Embarrassing

Dumb post of the day nominee.

 

[87&91ALUM]

they are 40-50% and we are 30-30%...that is the problem

 

[Creeker]

Stupid shot ZZ

 

[volsarelife1]

Hate to admit that it is reminiscent of our NCAA losses.

Yep. Hate to even say that but this effort and game looks like our NCAA losses in the past.

 

[Chad Powers]

Yeah, it’s almost impossible to deal with a team when they get in the zone from the 3. I just hate that TN isn’t playing with more pride. I get they’re tired. It was a cruel stretch. But man, don’t get run out of the gym on your own court on senior day.

 

[BigOrangeFanatic]

Mark it down right now, UK will win the SECT. They'll beat us again if we play them again.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Oh my lord Zeigler. What the hell. What the actual hell.

 

[DeepSpringsVol]

Got to wake up. It is clear they are trying to GOON DK

 

[VOLINVONORE]

Beyond Knecht , Tn just dont have the shooters.

Looks like they mailed it in today. ZZ has been less than adequate today. We had the chance to win this game if a couple of players would help DK.

 

[Chaz-Vol]

Kentucky- 50% from 3 and 90% from FT line
Tennessee- 33.3% from 3 and 60% from FT line.

Hopefully just mental fatigue from this gauntlet and regroup after this loss and time off.

 

[PA Vol]

I know we get to beat our chests and brag about a top three defense all the time, but I’d give 20 ranking spots for a few more shooters.
