The Official #6 Tennessee vs. Missouri Game Thread, 6:00 PM ET, SEC Network

[Clad in Big Orange]

We want Alabama!

 

[jbr82]

I hope a couple of these players don't use their covid year. They need to go

Will Barnes be able to upgrade?

 

[therealitytheory]

Zero killer instinct with this team...tons of heart, but their i.q. just disappears for stretches. The last shot was low percentage and more luck tho.

FO troll.

 

[BP4Prez]

Because I wasnt watching Awaka, so I wouldnt know if it was a lane violation.

It 100% was

 

[VOLINVONORE]

Hopefully Ziegler learned a little bit about the importance of playing under a little bit of control. He had three unnecessary fouls in the last few or so minutes.

 

[whobethis16]

Tell me again how sports aren't rigged. A lane violation???

Tell me you don't know the rules if you're saying that was a bad call.

 

[utVolFanInVA]

We did not make a bucket in the last 2:30 minutes of the game!!!! Only 4 made free throws. You don't win many games scoring 0 buckets in the last 2:30 of a game.

 

[hUTch2002]

This is the year we limp into the tournament as an after-thought and make a deep run.

Looking like you have the first part right. I hope you have the second part right too. I do like the lineup we saw the second half.

 

[volforlife15]

It didn’t matter….he missed the second one too.

It actually did matter. Most likely don’t have a chance to get past half court if it’s a straight miss. Big guy has to rebound, pass, and get a shot off in 4.2

 

[All Vol!]

Did Santi’s girl dump him or something? He used to be money in the last 2 minutes, sheesh. Two heartbreakers in a row.

He’s banged up, pretty sure it’s his shoulder.

 

[tombowalker]

He always makes excuses for anyone but the team. They have given up. Baseball here we come!

Given up?

They fought back against a 17 point deficit only to lose in a freak, low-percentage situation.

Where do you come up with stuff like this?

 

[mr.checkerboards]

They still didn’t show a replay either…

Exactly.

 

[Bollweevil]

Prediction for Wednesday night. Alabama 52. Tennessee 49.

 

[Putbacks]

Perry Clark called it a foul erroneously because he was reading the script…wrong….

 

[Caz]

Ca

How in TF is this on BARNES? He figured out to go with the right lineup and brought us back from 17. Z fouled out and Vescovi missed a free throw. Awaka made a bad foul. It is sickening but it's not because of Barnes.

Can’t blame the coach. We just find ways to lose these type of games. SV two games in a row could have iced it, Z with a ridiculous foul and Awaka doing what ever the hell he did. Let’s face it, we are cursed as a program and most always sit back and talk about “what ifs”

 

[BigOrangeFanatic]

Is it football season yet?

 

[RAVOL]

Back to Back games were you have your 80% FT shooter to put you up 2 possessions miss and then team hits 3 to win. Can't make this stuff up as a Tennessee fan. To top it off you finally get Key Balling but to no avail in W Column. Sun will come out tomorrow. In CHRIST Alone

 

[vols 30]

Will Barnes be able to upgrade?

Good question. I hope so

 

[rdk4121]

That’s why mashack shouldn’t have fouled

Made sense to do it, given they even missed one. Missing the first and then a stupid lane violation compounded things. Even if he missed the second one it would've been a scramble for the ball and they probably wouldn't have gotten a legit shot off.

 

[theFallGuy]

think I’m officially done with tennessee basketball

Ok bye

 

[hUTch2002]

Bull****

How was it on Barnes down 2 starters, with a lineup adjustment that got us the lead back? ZZ fouled out in his own. SV missed the FT on his own. Barnes didn’t get a lane violation so what are you blaming on Barnes?

 

[TNVOLFN]

It didn’t matter….he missed the second one too.

Gag job by Vescovi, he’s really let his team down; the turnover he had in the backcourt he fumbled was unforgivable

 

[Vol737]

New and improved? We lost the exact same way 3 nights ago

It was TIC

 

[Ernest T. Vol]

Just terrible mistakes when the game is on the line.

That's it. Deer in headlights in final minute.
