The Official #6 Tennessee @ Vanderbilt Game Thread, 3:30 PM ET, SEC Network

[Majors]

So many claiming Lanier suck probably can’t make a free throw

Irony…considering we needed a free throw at the end

 

[A-RodWiLks]

That layup attempt by Chaz was so weak

 

[utVolFanInVA]

Just like they didn’t come back as you said.

Almost winning is like like having sex with your sister, only makes losers feel like winners

 

[BreatheUT]

We will struggle with athletic teams.

Like those old Virginia teams, that's how this team is built.

 

[PC Jr.]

Elaborate

The right things

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

The good news for you is that since we are so bad, you can just take the rest of the season off and get ready for baseball.

We are so bad that we only have 2 losses over halfway thru a season.

 

[vavolfan6]

That may count as a loss. But Tennessee fought on the road against a good team playing their best game of the season with their fans treating the game like a superbowl. As the graphic showed, it's hard to win on the road as a top 10 team in Memorial Stadium. Very hard atmosphere. And we played like crap on defense and only lost by one.

 

[vols 30]

So many claiming Lanier suck probably can’t make a free throw

Well, neither could he

 

[RAVOL]

Just not clutch at all. Vanderbilt deserved to win.

They deserved to win yes because they played 40mns we played first 10 and last 5 this will not work on road. Oh well. In CHRIST Alone

 

[WilliamDuVOL]

That bs.

He is a great player.

Pound sand.

I like Lanier but he appears to be extremely streaky. He is capable of being the best player on the court but coming into tonight he is 8-33 for 25 points in the last 3 games. Yes his stats were better tonight but something is off it appears.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Sucks. Should have chanced it and played ZZ in the first half when game was getting away. I don't think he ever fouled again. And no, Lanier isn't Knecht, sadly.

He had 2 in 2nd half, but think both were intentional.

Game came down to our defense letting them shoot 46% from FG & getting so many FTs.

 

[LordBolton]

Glad I didn't put any money on this game, didn't even bother watching it. Never thought they'd flub a game to Candy. Pitiful.

 

[Cannot believe]

Is Barnes sitting beside Chaz? I would imagine he supposed to beat sorry Vandy. He not doing what he paid to do.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

So many claiming Lanier suck probably can’t make a free throw

Are they getting paid to?

 

[Bollweevil]

That layup attempt by Chaz was so weak

That's the damn truth!

 

[Anti-shunshinepumper]

We will struggle with athletic teams.

Like those old Virginia teams, that's how this team is built.

Alabama will do bad things to us

 

[volbound1700]

Now we got to win at Auburn, IMO, to even have a shot at the SEC and I am not sure we are good enough to do that.

We are probably a 3-5 seed the way we are playing now.

 

[rdk4121]

Man with the way we are playing we could be under .500 in league play soon.

We always struggle at Vandy. Not worried about that one.

 

[vavolfan6]

MORAL VICTORY COME BACK!!!!! GREAT LOSS!! Very proud of this team!

 

[Clad in Big Orange]

Great effort just too little too late. Vols played poorly for too long and Vandy played great at home.

 

[BreatheUT]

That layup attempt by Chaz was so weak

It was weak. He got by his man but it was a weak below the rim drive.

Ron Slay just said Chaz was supposed to curl tight to take away the space between the defender.

 

[VolCalls]

Yeah, we Lost, But SEC Commentators were “OVER THE TOP” routing for Vanderbilt…..

“Upset in Nashville” - “On top by 10 / 12!”
“Boost that Resume!” - “Go to The Tournament!” ‘- “Vandy Leading, LEADING; LEADING!”……. — Ziegler just trying to will his team to a conference victory”…….

THEY “HATED” TENNESSEE!

— And it obviously showed!!!!!!!!

So Dane Bradshaw is a Vandy homer? I had no idea.

 

[Chris4Vols22]

A nice comeback, but largely dumb basketball. Whatever was going on in the UF game came back late in the 1st half of this one, and we dug a hole we couldn't climb out of. No doubt we are a great team when we're playing well, but we are bad when we go into dumb mode. That has to be fixed ASAP.

 

[TheDirector]

What a great game. We showed some guts coming back from that far down and having a chance. Gonna be extremely hard on the road for any team in the SEC this year. 16-2 and on to the next.

 

[volKano]

a loss followed several hours of Vols fans attacking each other out of frustration.
