The Official #6 Tennessee @ Florida Game Thread, 7:00 PM ET, ESPN

[Catbone]

We will be a 5 or 6 seed at best and get beat the first weekend of the NCAA tourney

The Rick Barnes special

 

[VolsSportsFan]

Miss another damn free throw.

 

[tnvols72]

Fulk still alseep

 

[VolsSportsFan]

Fulk looks lost tonight.

 

[bowkane]

I guarantee you, we will get it closer because the refs will now try and get the foul total closer to make it seem fair but if we have a chance of going on a run they will call it against us again. Guarantee it.

The Rick Barnes special

Typical March for CRB

 

[VolFreakJosh]

How many illegal screens does Florida get away with?

 

[UTK]

Should it, though? Does adding a pair of good freshmen to a team that wasn’t going to the tournament equal a Final Four contender? I honestly didn’t get the talk about this being the best team in school history. I think we expected a little too much.

Maybe. But should still be the best team in the SEC. But that doesn't even seem to be the case.

 

[chuckiepoo]

...scratching and clawing back into this?

 

[alvinkamara]

Give me a break

that is plain stoopid

 

[sportsnut624]

Go to a zone or something. Hell just leave someone down at the other basket and play 4 on defense. I don’t give a damn if we’ve never practiced anything else it can’t be any worse than giving up a dunk every other drive.

 

[Ernest T. Vol]

Fulk looks lost tonight.

Florida bigs are wearing him out.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

We’re a good team, but we’re not where I thought we would be at this point with this roster. Not even close. It’s disappointing, but maybe the silver lining of all this is that Springer and Johnson will be back next year, add Chandler and Maschack, find a transfer big and THAT team wins it all.

But, from where we stand at this moment we’re a solid Sweet 16 team but I don’t see a path forward past that. Defense can have off nights like tonight, but we’re too inconsistent on offense. Just not enough scoring threats on this team right now.

Agreed. I don’t see a single leader on this team as of yet. Over hyped!

The Rick Barnes special

Lol...how the same posters blame every coach on every board

 

[Vol49er]

We've played one good game this year.

Which one of our six 20+ points wins is that referring to?

 

[volmoon]

Typically we aren’t a good shooting team. Tonight we look uncoordinated to boot.

 

[VolFreakJosh]

Typical March for CRB

So I’m assuming you want to fire Barnes now?

 

[vavolfan6]

Get this to single digits by the 8 minute mark....gotta keep working

 

[The Tall Gguy]

Players once again afraid if opponent. No balls. Just like football team

 

[tmack50]

Fulky can’t bang with their big guy. He needs to hit a couple of those elbow jumpers then take him off the dribble

He refuses to take them. He had a wide-open look and tried to pass it underneath and turned it over.

 

[ndubvols]

Fulk looks lost tonight.

Him and Keon switched but didn’t communicate the switch back.

 

[1985Vols]

That's quite dramatic, but he is certainly the only one who hasn't shown an ounce of quit, tonight.

Probably a little dramatic , however, I Vp can’t name one player besides Keon or Springer that has really impressed me this season on a consistent basis. Those two are what real 5* players look like. JJJ, not so much.

 

[patrick]

Fulkerson sucked on that play. Just dumb

I'm not sure that Fulkerson ever got off the bus mentally, as well as a few other Vols.

 

[GetEmVols]

Seriously?

I was kidding but he is 1/5 from three and nearly all uncontested. He isn’t as accurate as last year.
