Absolutely pathetic today

 

[orange_glory]

Chris deserved better

 

[PA Vol]

Need 3 with 21 seconds left. Let’s go for a layup and miss again.

 

[Cartervol]

Played like garbage.

 

[jaguinn5]

It was only a matter of time. Rick Barnes teams will always be two things: consistently good on defense, and inconsistent at best on offense.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

My God, I did not actually think we'd lose this game. Piss poor coaching and uninspired play.

Honestly it might be the worst loss of Barnes' regular season career here, given all the factors.

 

[hatingbamaisawayoflife]

Barnes can’t make shots for them
hopefully wake up call

 

[FlVols]

We f’ed ourselves today.

 

[zaqhhh]

Insane. Should have each player write a personal apology to Lofton

 

[volsarelife1]

Zeigler and Vescovi combined 7/25 shooting.

 

[ButchPlz]

Chris deserved better

The worst part of it all.

 

[vols 30]

This is why you need to be realistic about NCAA tourney success. The offense looks middle school like at times

 

[sportsnut624]

First truly unacceptable game of the year. Disappointing. That will probably eliminate us from the sec race with the way bama is playing.

 

[Memphisvol87]

Thanks for the free money. Barnes is always good for a let down game when the team coming in has zero pulse

 

[87&91ALUM]

Poor coaching at the end. Our best shooter shot nothing. Missed layups. Uros all we had today. Very ugly game. Officiating biased as heck. And we gave KY a gift. Ugh.

 

[Vol8188]

That is not what I call attacking the basket. Go up strong into someone. Quit avoiding contact down low

Lol

 

[yabadabadolnavy]

who cares it's January. only thing that matters is the ncaa tournament

 

[griffdog14]

Hold the opponent to 60 and you can’t win. Sheeeeeeeesh

 

[Vols8086]

Elite length bothers our perimeter players. That’s our kryptonite.

 

[C-south]

Low iq ball today for sure. You don’t deserve to win when you can’t hit a layup either.

 

[Putbacks]

All the contact on that play and Uros gets a foul for a bump?

Highlight reel of that all game….

 

[VolsAgainstTheWorld15]

This one hurts more than most. Losing to a rival on your home floor always sucks, but to watch the game unfold and see how mediocre that Kentucky team is makes it hurt even worse.

 

[hUTch2002]

It was only a matter of time. Rick Barnes teams will always be two things: consistently good on defense, and inconsistent at best on offense.

So it seems.

 

[Chris4Vols22]

Honestly it might be the worst loss of Barnes' regular season career here, given all the factors.

Hard to think of another at this second.

 

[amaralfan1]

The team was banged up and simply not ready for this game. Rick will get them whippee back into shape.
