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

I'm glad we didnt' need this one, because if this had been for the SEC outright or a share I'd be beside myself right now.

 

[SonOfGodVolforlife]

Zz stepping up.. rlly needed James

 

[volplaya8]

Glad they didn’t stop playing!!! Thanks for that regardless of outcome!

 

[johnboyhunter]

Lady Vols within 2

 

[TN1111]

Sheppard shooting over 70 percent from 3. That's just ridiculous

And we still let him get open looks by leaving him with our help defense

 

[BeardedVol]

I guess with the way we've been playing lately, we were due for another game like this, but damn, I hate to see it in Thompson-Boling against Kentucky, after already clinching the SEC title.

That Timeout just saved a travel on dillingham

Thank you for dropping by, your presence is quite valued.

Supported this team many years. Same story over and over. Cool down and accept the facts. We all know what's coming.

 

[ColinS]

Kentucky lucky as hell. Just throwing up junk

There wide open and they are one of the best three point shooting teams in the country. Sheppard did hit that one heat check

 

[JCP201]

It ain't over till it's over. They are putting up a fight.

 

[barney]

lol the mat guys are not wiping down the kentucky's side of the court

 

[PA Vol]

Would be something of myth and legend if we won this.

I don't agree that Kentucky is a better team. Kentucky's a top 20 team that came in with something to prove. Tennessee might be a little tired with the number of great teams they've had to play recently. Kentucky sucks.

Kentucky may not be a better team, but their ceiling is higher than ours with all that talent. And they put it together today.

 

[JoeMiltonsAgent]

Absolutely true. Not sure why Gainey is even getting in the lineup.

Think it may be a lack of other options.

He has been ice cold for over a month now though.

 

[TennTom]

Just too many made 3s by them today. And hit almost every FT. I'll trade a loss at home to UK for an outright SEC Championship every year for the end of time.

 

[SonOfGodVolforlife]

It ain't over till it's over. They are putting up a fight.

Loving it. Hard to beat us . Kentucky ain’t missed tho

I highly suspect we would have played better if we were playing for the championship. Of course there's no way of knowing, just my suspicion

Pretty sure he traveled before the TO but not called.

Better team today, I'm assuming, which is true. Held Tennesee to under 40% from the field while shooting over 50% from beyond the arc, hard to say that's a fluke when it comes from a team with a roster like UK.

 

[barney]

no quit in the guys which is good to see

 

[The Tall Gguy]

No quit in this team

 

[Sos]

We had an off night ( per USCe)

 

[turbovol]

Defense disappeared in this game. We've given up 51 points in the 2nd half. Our postseason will rise or fall on our defense--and
not this defense but the defense we're capable of playing. This has been ugly.

 

[Orange931]

I’m telling y’all Kentucky is figuring it out late in the year and they are going to win this whole damn thing. Cal saves his job.

You honestly think they’re gonna hit 60% from 3 again? That’s not figuring it out, that’s getting damn lucky and won’t happen again.

 

[Volstylexx]

Every game matter in college. Its not about being mad, its about seeing that if we go cold, we can get beat pretty easily

We are almost at our season average in points. Wasn't offense that cost us this today.
