The Official #6 Tennessee @ Vanderbilt Game Thread, 7:00 PM ET, SEC Network

Well, at least baseball starts this week.

Are they really any different from the basketball team?

 

[VOLifornia]

Back to my comment early on… “Lawerence owning the VOLS”, comes back to bite us.

 

[TooLegit2Quit]

How do you blame Phillips there? He's a freshman in that blatant homecourt advantage they call that trash heap in Nashville. Vescovi missed the front end to tie and eventually ice it. At least that wasn't some fluke ass shot like the bulk of their threes.

Officiating is out of control. Idk the last time we had a favorable FTA deficit.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Why not dunk the ball and go up two possessions

Barnes has the kid scared to death.

 

[Doctrippin]

Santi's been in a slump ever since he hurt his shoulder. He's not clutch anymore

 

[TheBigOne10]

This team will get smoked on the first weekend

 

[Chris4Vols22]

Right now I'm not in the mood to hear about how good teams lost bad game or whatever cliches we're going to trot out. We've sucked ass for 3 games in a row now.

I'm expecting someone to spin this loss as a positive.

 

[illumiVOLi]

It’s a game not life or death. These are young men. Barnes just needs to get these guys swagger back.

 

[Freak]

The clock was at Zero before that was shot. I'm not sure how that was confirmed so quickly. You can see it on every replay.

I just checked the video. He got it off in time. Barely.

 

[volsarelife1]

Waiting for @Volstylexx to come tell us this wasn't a bad loss

 

[tmack50]

Done with this team. Looking forward to baseball and then football season

This team is in a free fall. I think we lose next game too.

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

I'm pissed especially at Phillips just dunk that ball dude

 

[SouthknoxTN07]

Blame it on the dunk but folks , Vescovi should have hit his foul shots and this wouldn’t have mattered . It’s hard to be a TN basketball fan . Truly is ….

 

[Orange931]

Well, at least baseball starts this week.

This all day!

 

[TrumpedUpVol]

Phillips will leave for the NBA in April and nothing of merit will be lost.

 

[05_never_again]

Bounced in the second round.

They way they are playing, there are several more regular season losses coming and an early SECT exit. That would really drop their seed, and opens up the possibility of a first round exit.

 

[amaralfan1]

I just checked the video. He got it off in time. Barely.

I just went back and double checked too. Looks like it left his hand at .2 or .1. Vandy pulled it off. I shouldn't have doubted them.

 

[TheBigOne10]

Are they really any different from the basketball team?

Uh yes? They just went to Omaha in ‘21 and were one bad inning away from doing the same last year. You live under a rock?

 

[Voltopia]

Sure Phillips could've dunked it but I bet he heard Barnes in his head telling him no.

I said this a few pages back. I feel like Barnes sometimes coaches his teams, in particular his freshmen, to the point his players don't want to be the one to make the mistake. I think Phillips wasn't 100% confident he'd make that shot, and like you said, he could already hear his voice in his head.

 

[TooLegit2Quit]

The disgrace is the lack of situational awareness. This squad has no clue what to do with the ball late.

They inbounded it 5 straight times to finally get to the line and missed the free throw.

 

[BreatheUT]

Well, at least baseball starts this week.

I've been thinking about getting rid of cable for a while. Watching this team doesn't give me a reason to want to keep it.

 

[Russdaddy2027]

Well no other way to say it. That sucked. Team can’t play offense and has no situational awareness. Might win 1st round but going home shortly after.

 

[Starplayerk168]

Just lose the first round of the tournament against a mid-major and not the second.. do us all a favor

 

[ndubvols]

Just too many mistakes at the end of the game. Need to get better in close games.

 

[RockyTop140]

So you admit you only watch basketball when we’re winning?

Such a great basketball fan you are.

Hey buddy, lots of people are obviously unhappy with the way the game went and how the team has played the past few games. You’re not getting any points for playing your fan card here. Log off for a while and let people vent about the pathetic performances of the past 3 games.
