Who is more of a sleaze, Pearl or Kiffin?

I like Pearl he genuinely tried his best at UT without ulterior motives and got me into UTBB as a kid he was like a hero to me and made the team so fun to watch I miss those days a lot

 

[VOL720]

We were so close!!!!

 

[vols 30]

That travel call on Okpara was criminal and may have cost us the game.

That was horrible.

 

[Other_Guy]

I’d still like to zz drive and see what would happen.

Yeah acted like he had 2 or 3 seconds left instead of 9

 

[VolsAgainstTheWorld15]

There's a lot more to go off, but sure

If you’re going by other factors, sure. It’s a fair opinion. Very troll like to post that after barely losing to the top ranked team, though.

 

[Anti-shunshinepumper]

Igor was horrible. Worst game of the season for him. Felix struggled too.

I thought Felix battled, bro. Igor gave us absolutely nothing tho

 

[ndubvols]

I will say there were several balls auburn barely saved from going out of bounds that resulted in points. 3 pointer at the end was a prime example.

 

[Chattahooligan]

Funny how many people are suddenly Auburn fans here in Wildcat country now that I’m sitting at the bar

 

[D3Athlete]

Went for the win. Don’t blame him. Last 2:30 of the game was ridiculous. Whistle flipped

 

[rocketskates]

Chaz mistimed his jump on crashing the board by like half a second.

I actually like the aggressiveness of Barnes there with that call.

Yep. The play was to go for the win and have Chaz on cleanup if it was a miss. Just a little off.
I don’t mind the play call at all. Bad officiating at the end.

 

[Cartervol]

Vols have dropped 3 conference games mostly because their offense is shat.

 

[OrangeAllDay]

You made this determination based on us losing by 2 to the top ranked team in the country on its home floor? Interesting logic.

I’m gonna say this is confirmed. I hope this blows up in my face. At this point. We don’t make it till we make it. Anybody holding on to Barnes taking us to a final 4 is asinine. And anybody hoping we hire a replacement that will is asinine

 

[cncchris33]

I've not disliked an SEC player as much Chad Baker-Mazzara since maybe...Marshall Henderson? John (with an I) Broome is right there, too.

 

[volsarelife1]

Well when Chaz and Gainey are throwing up bricks who do you suggest?

Both had higher shooting % than ZZ this game.

 

[JMSqb11]

I’m disappointed with the loss but proud how they fought.

Disappointed with Igor’s play. He was brought here to help score and post play.

This was our first true road game vs a top team since Florida. I was worried about a performance closer to Florida game than what we got tonight.

I think we can pump the brakes on the hot takes we aren’t a top tier team in the country.

 

[BigOrangeFanatic]

Why are we questioning the last shot? Our best player took it, and it was a great look. He just missed it.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

If you’re going by other factors, sure. It’s a fair opinion. Very troll like to post that after barely losing to the top ranked team, though.

Beacuse he is one. He does this **** all the time.

 

[VolsAgainstTheWorld15]

That travel call on Okpara was criminal and may have cost us the game.

Should have been a foul on Broome. Even if they don’t call a foul, I didn’t see a travel. Horrible call that changed the outcome for sure.

 

[Memphisvol87]

Without dominant post play we won’t make a deep run. Barnes never has an answer for team that can bully us when the 3 ball is absent.

 

[vol94]

So disheartening .

I love the Vols and Coach Barnes. But he won’t win a natty. I don’t see him getting to a final four, unfortunately.

 

[n_huffhines]

Well when Chaz and Gainey are throwing up bricks who do you suggest?

Keep feeding people. He wasn't even looking for guys at the end. His last 2 pt miss, Lanier was all alone at the 3p line and he was hot.

 

[pasadenavol]

Doug Shows should immediately be fired or suspended. If I were Barnes I'd be all over the SEC office on that one.

 

[jtdavis]

Disappointing but they played hard. Auburn's team are a mirror of their coach- classless.

 

[A-RodWiLks]

At the end of the day, we lost that game... Auburn didn't win it.

 

[first time caller]

That was a great play. Wide open and good chance for a put back. Just didn't fall.

And if it did fall, gives auburn the ball with 8 or 9 seconds left.
