The Official #5 Tennessee @ #10 Kentucky Game Thread, 8:30 PM ET, ESPN

It's pretty simple. Keep making shots and this games over. Take care of the ball and no second chance points on the defensive end.

And make your free throws.

 

[BigOrangeFanatic]

Did Dykes just say "we got a tight one" going into break? We're up 13 bro......

That can change in a moments notice.

Dang, two totally different levels of contact being called common fouls right now. I grow so weary of that.

Reach in fouls on US, Ky can climb your back and no one can see it but us

 

[joevols89]

Good grief Bama spanking MSU.

Aidoo is struggling tonight. Difficult to watch. He seems so passive. That, or lack of confidence. He passed up a five footer, though he was guarded, and then struggled grabbing the rebound off Santi’s missed three ball.

He seems really indecisive. Sometimes I thinks Barnes coaching style can effect some kids confidence...

 

[NighthawkVol]

A Barnes beef - why take Awaka out with 4? He took over the game!

Because he has 4. And he fouls frequently. So 5 would come quick.

 

[johnboyhunter]

Where is that BIG Z guy?

 

[Volnbeers]

Knecht is gonna put up 40 on em in Knoxville

 

[RockyTop140]

Probably bc he’s capable of putting up performances like the one tonight? What did you think you were doing here?

I understand where he’s coming from. He’s having a good shooting night. But he is somehow not capable of getting to or finishing at the rim with his height and size. He’s still really good when he’s clicking and it’s a shame he hasn’t been able to develop a drive to the basket game

I knew she would make a comeback after Russia

 

[firestorm]

Smooth sailing for Tennessee in the 2nd half.

 

[vol94]

Bradshaw got away with one there

Yeah, but refs have called a better game than anticipated. Yes, missed calls and the technical in TN was ridiculous. We need to score here and play good defense without fouling.

 

[VOLINVONORE]

Good to see others in the scoring column tonight. We have not had to rely DK and if he can avoid fouling, he can protect the lead down the stretch.

 

[DC_Vol]

Need a bucket here. Ky still has a run in them and Tn will have to make FTs

Yup I believe we’re going to have to weather another big push by Kentucky.

[casetopia]

Jjj went off. Thank you sir we needed it badly.

 

[Doctrippin]

Don't know what happened to that big blue Croatian guy, but he's not going to get any minutes. They were talking about him like a real game changer.

 

[molsen81]

Knecht, you’re on the big stage. Man up!

 

[NATHAN05]

That can change in a moments notice.

Oh I'm certainly not counting chickens.....lot of time. But it ain't that tight at the moment.

I assume he also considers the hallway narrow in reference to "hot dog down a hallway" as well.

 

[87&91ALUM]

78-66

 

[tnvols72]

I know JJJ is having a good game but he does not need to shoot every time

 

[VolGee4]

He seems really indecisive. Sometimes I thinks Barnes coaching style can effect some kids confidence...

How so? When he had several straight games where he dominated? Guys just struggle from time to time.

 

[87&91ALUM]

Cmon Vols

Please.. no slumps!!!
