The Official #5 Tennessee vs. Kentucky Game Thread, 12:00 PM ET, ESPN

[RabunRaven]

KY played rather avg - the Vols well below avg. You'll lose to a blue blood like that most of the time. My point - not sure KY should over celebrate their "emergence". The Vols just sucked.

 

[GiveHim6InSC]

Wouldn’t hurt my feelings if bilas got that dome rung on the way out

 

[Switch 625]

We can not live with prosperity it seems. We crap the bed at the worst times. It’s a damn curse

Always.

 

[TooLegit2Quit]

UK shot a great free throw today and really fouled the hell out of us with no call. Hope the check clears for Adams and his gang of morons.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

It was not coaching. This all on missed shots and lack of rebounding

Still his loss, he's the coach.

 

[jaguinn5]

I personally think this was on the players today. Doubled up on the boards and missed too many easy shots.

There's a difference between missing bad shots and missing good shots. We took a lot of bad shots, especially at the end. Thats coaching.

 

[volforlife15]

Colorado was a worse loss.

Totally agree. I was making fun of the OP. But this felt like such a colorado performance. D was a little better but this looked like the same O

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Pitiful performance from ORN. Bro is a senior.

Hes not good

 

[casetopia]

That was a big old bag of giant

 

[Vols till I fall]

I love my Vols, but we absolutely deserved to lose this one 100%. Multiple missed layups, and then Vescovi taking that floater in the final seconds?

This loss was earned and needed.

Officiating was BS but we lost this one one our own


Be better, a lot better. Sometimes embarrassment is needed

 

[mackievol]

Pathetic performance. The fans should be issued refunds. Kentucky has a terrible program, and this shouldn't happen.

 

[Ernest T. Vol]

Needed a 3 on that last possession. Had one timeout left, should have taken it to set something up.

 

[orange_glory]

The word of the day boys and girls is inconsistent

We pressed bad. Just started jacking up stupid 3's.

 

[teeball]

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

Have you watched Tennessee in the NCAA tournament under Barnes coaching? If so, then you know this game is just a sample of what you will see in March. Tennessee rarely gets past the first weekend. Sadly, this year will be no different.

 

[FranklinVFL]

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

Did you miss the Colorado game?

Refs sucked, but we played awful. This is on us.

 

[vol4eva]

Santi couldn’t have been worse when it mattered most

 

[VOLinPD]

It's likely gonna be another 1st or 2nd round loss for a highly ranked Barnes-coached team.

 

[I4Vols]

ON was No as in non existent
Blown layups galore
Bad 3 %
Missed some key one & ones

Bad day at the office
Need to beat them in Lex

 

[JCP201]

We should have hit the easy shots, but Plavsic and Z both got fouled but Oscar got the free throws. Anyway, great game by Plavsic, too bad it was for nothing.

 

[zaqhhh]

Reason to be upset about a lot both things we can control and not

It pisses me off more that we decided to do this today than just overall.

Going to lose some in the SEC but shouldn’t have been against a middling UK team (that just lost to a bad SC team) on our home court while retiring Loftons jersey

 

[Go47]

The pattern holds.

Awful offensive games at critical times . . . I don’t know why . . .

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Talk about a reminder of us not being a blue blood.

22-25 from line for Kentucky
7-10 for us

Still just hit our layups & that’s a game you win.

 

[Putbacks]

Y’all crying over the refs. We should have won this game by 20 if we simply hit our open layups and 3’s. UK is terrible.

UK is terrible? Wow!
