The Official #6 Tennessee @ Texas A&M Game Thread, 8:00 PM ET, ESPN

Everyone loving on James last week are quiet.

Just like everyone hating on him was quiet last week. See how that works?

 

[OrangeVolMan]

Here we go…..let’s all blame the friggin refs for this bad play. They’re an easy target and good to take the blame for this ____!!

Refs aren’t why we are losing but that was a bad call on Vescovi.

 

[vols 30]

Sooooofftttttt

Please tell me why we shouldn't be upset about losing by 17? I'll wait for the answer or deflection that will never come

 

[Vol49er]

Wow. I know it’s on the road, but this is one of the most confidence shattering losses I’ve seen. To have a first half like that and then not even score before the U16 is something else. Giving up rebound after rebound then sulking. Letting guys drive right past you, going up soft at the rim. As soon as a team can defend with some physicality we just fold.

 

[LadyinOrange]

I hate losing to A&M and their Gene Hackman-looking coach.

 

[joevols89]

Our fans are such a trash fire when we have a bad game.

A bad game lol

 

[Vols All Day]

The teams body language is terrible.

 

[Switch 625]

Play the kids the rest of the game. This thing is over so just cut bait and play Estrella, dillione, Carr and Phillips meaningful minutes

Those guys might actually care enough to put forth some effort.

 

[Dergibvol]

1 FG in the last 10 minutes of gameplay. But sure let's preach more defense rick

 

[The Tall Gguy]

I'm about as uninspired to watch the rest of this as the team is playing tonight. I'm out.

I don't blame you. Hoping the young guys get in soon.

 

[LivinginthePast]

Number 4 seed this year

 

[slobberknocker]

Gotta go and sort my socks.

 

[turdherder11]

Potential 1 seed and down by 20? 0 points so far this half?

I haven't thought this team is a #1 seed caliber team all season. 3 seed, 2 tops

 

[AppStVol]

When’s the last time we looked somewhat capable with Pat Adams on the whistle?

 

[JCP201]

Have we scored at all in the second half. BLAH. This is going to be one of those everybody stinks games like SC, it appears.

 

[ColinS]

Put the freshman in. It's over. I want to see some effort from somebody.

 

[The_Dude]

Still yet to score a point in this half. Unbelievable.

Thinking the same, sir.

 

[Clad in Big Orange]

You being a Basilio fan is the least surprising thing of all time.

It’s cathartic and entertaining. Everybody deals with disappointment different. I admire you guys that shake it off and are so certain of a big win next game.

 

[Vols420]

Team is a no show. Sometimes it happens in a long season. But man I am losing confidence in getting a consistent effort from this team.

 

[Voljayton]

I’m probably tapping out of this one guys.

Yeah I think I'm bailing too. Too hard to watch. If we mount some heroic comeback, the board can thank us for unjinxing this fiasco

 

[Franklin_Vol09]

Barnes did not have this team ready for this game, Aggies are better and tougher team

Not his fault. The energy from the players is pathetic. JJJ is is MIA as usual.

 

[vavolfan6]

An away loss is manageable. At this point I just want to see adjustments in our offensive gameplan to attack this defense. Otherwise, I'm more concerned longterm there is a blueprint out there to consistently stop us offensively.

 

[RAVOL]

Out of words for this game just one of those nights. But as always Acts 4:11-12.

 

[Namorto1]

Barnes did not have this team ready for this game, Aggies are better and tougher team

Yep we didn't look prepared from the jump. Aggies really need this game and our response thus far when they smacked us in the face has been disappointing. Arkansas will try and do the exact same thing to us offensively and just play 1 on 1 and beat us off dribble repeatedly.

 

[Caz]

Embarrassing. Pathetic effort

Agree so much and some call out peoples take on a performance as this and call them a negavol?
