You think the team is pathetic and you’re… suggesting they give up and come home before half? lol

With this lack of execution sure. Of course not. It’s frustrating. That’s all. Hyperbole. New word for you. I’m kidding.

 

[barney]

we are not a top 5 team these guys will be out in round of 32

 

[hatingbamaisawayoflife]

worst half of basketball from a veteran team I’ve seen in a long time

 

[87&91ALUM]

Nice two ZZ. 20-35

You think the team is pathetic and you’re… suggesting they give up and come home before half? lol

I’ve already seen some “fans” on Twitter calling us frauds. It just is what it is. Going to be a rough next few days.

 

[markus]

Knecht is a waste

 

[Memphisvol87]

Team is playing tighter than a ticks butt

 

[VOLINVONORE]

Aidoo is really stinking it up tonight. Seems like this happens to him after a good game.

 

[TrumpedUpVol]

I usually flat out turn off 5 games a year with Barnes coached teams…this is number 2 this season…right on track Rick! I’m ready for that top 10 season, top 4 seed and bounced in in sweet 16…I’m pumped baby!!!

Turned it off, but still posting about it on a Tennessee forum? Very cool!

 

[barney]

can't defend can't score what can we do?

 

[calban]

No Gimmies on the road in the SEC this season. Bring your A game or stay home. Completely out played so far.

 

[Switch 625]

Getting destroyed!

To be clear I never said the team is pathetic and never would, their play is tonight though.

 

[joevols89]

So we have to win the 2nd half by 13 on the road? Lol.

 

[Hurley Mooncalf]

What a horrendous turd sandwich that half of basketball was.

 

[volforlife15]

Scoring 22 points in a half in 2024 is honestly disrespectful to this beautiful game

 

[barney]

welp

now they'll come out with their hair on fire in the second half and lose by 3

 

[hatingbamaisawayoflife]

The way we playing will be very hard to come back from 13 down. They honestly look like they already quit

 

[berryvol]

Idiots. Much better teams have gone on the road to much worse teams in conference play and been punked. Sucks, but it happens to the best teams. Luckily, we still have a half the change the narrative here.

 

[zaqhhh]

The fact that both of our transfer picks were the 1-3 position given our guard depth is extremely questionable.

To think we could have had a big that might have been able to stop smith (or would have taken less shots than Gainey)

 

[OrangeVolMan]

I’ve never seen a team that can be so good and so bad in consecutive games much less in the same season.

 

[vol94]

ZZ makes a good play and then State w easy dunk.

State saw something on film as they are Dong. A nice job cutting to the basket for open looks. They’ve had about four dunks this half.

 

[barney]

Scoring 22 points in a half in 2024 is honestly disrespectful to this beautiful game

rick barnes is a basketball terrorist

 

[ColinS]

We are absolute no shows in the first half of the last two road games. Is any game planning going on?

 

[KnoxtotheBoro20]

Just not playing defense. Getting out hustled. And just embarrassing to watch
