Only foul up 3. Would be dumb otherwise

If we had fouled they would not have had the opportunity to shoot a three. Going to overtime is infinitely better than losing.

 

[johnboyhunter]

I've watched the last two weeks. These dudes either don't care or flat out suck.

The team that played in the 2nd half cares.

 

[OleRockyTopTennessee]

This is the biggest fluke of a basketball team that I’ve ever seen. Good teams know how to win and this is a prime example of a piss poor excuse of a basketball team. ZZ doesn’t know when to back off and not foul, Vescovi can’t make a free throw, and the defense down right sucks. Yes I’m pissed. Back in the day, coaches made their teams run stairs until they couldn’t walk for this type of play. Can’t do that now because most people have become too sensitive for punishment. Barnes needs to make an example out of someone on this team. It needs to be so bad that when the ball leaves their hand for a shot, they are begging it to go in because they know what’s coming. I’m done ranting. It’s not going to fix anything anyways. I’m gonna drink a few more and be back for round two

Why would you ever trust the announcers. Learn the game. It’s a lane violation. They would have shot free throws if it was a foul. Not rocket science

Foul, lane violation, whatever. It was a stupid play that cost us the game. No need to get angry with one another as we are all frustrated because we care so much about TN sports.

 

[BJAVol]

Vescovi hits his free throws last two games are wins. We were without JJJ and Phillips for 35 minutes. Still time to figure hit out before March. 53 points in the 2nd half was encouraging

 

[tnvols72]

I want those guys in the SECT with JJJ and Julian. They gonna get ran

I hate to break it to but JJJ and especially Phillips are not that much of a difference maker and becareful what you wish for. Tournament is not in Knoxville

 

[Clad in Big Orange]

Play better as an underdog. They are about to get that opportunity.

 

[johngunn44]

It was a lane violation. didn’t matter since Vescovi missed the 2nd free throw too. if he makes the 1st one we are in OT.

 

[Tenacjim]

Some of you complain about the officials EVERY GAME. At some point, it ain’t the zebras!!! Grow up.

Exactly. Look at the FT disparity. THEY are a big part of our comeback.

 

[Jaxon_Vol2017]

Prediction for Wednesday night. Alabama 52. Tennessee 49.

Hahahaha they'll beat us by 20

 

[TheBigOne10]

Somebody made a deal with the devil. I mean seriously. There are no words

 

[aurabass]

Key brought us back from 17 down with 5 of 9 from 3 and 6 of 6 ft shots
His last shot was at 5:31 and he never got another shot still led all Vols with 23 points
HOW DUMB IS THAT ???

 

[AthensVol2007]

Allowed is doing a lot of work there when they made a lot of bad quality 3s

They made tough shots all night I’ll give them that. The defense was in their face on most of them. The point stands it’s not on the officials for us losing this one.

 

[zaqhhh]

The chances of someone with Vesovis FT percentage missing 2 FTs at the end of the game and then having a lane violation and then having 2 end game 3 point shots by the opposing team in back to back games is about…

1 in 17000

 

[JCP201]

Yeah, three different players doing absolutely mindlessly stupid crap in the last three minutes of the game has nothing to do with coaching.

If that's the case, what the hell is he making $5 mil a year for?

Being number 6 in the country? Previously number 2? That same coach and team...

 

[volforlife15]

Foul, lane violation, whatever. It was a stupid play that cost us the game. No need to get angry with one another as we are all frustrated because we care so much about TN sports.

It’s annoying when people blame officials when they clearly just don’t know the game

 

[SouthknoxTN07]

Vescovi needs to ride the pine… with Uros and company .

 

[DooleyOrangePants]

What I'm thinking too. This hurts me. I can only imagine how they're feeling.

That’s what I’m hoping, but it isn’t looking good in any respect.

 

[Voltopia]

I've watched the last two weeks. These dudes either don't care or flat out suck.

lol, 19-6, beat Kansas and Texas this season, and they "flat out suck." Yeah. Sure. Ok.

 

[VolsAgainstTheWorld15]

Can’t wait to hear y’all Barnes worshippers excuses. That fraud needs to GOOOOOOOOOOOO.

What exactly was he supposed to do tonight? Shoot the free throws for Vescovi? Honestly I thought he made some nice lineup adjustments that helped get us back in the game, especially with no JJJ and no Phillips for most of the game. Now why it took him until halftime to make those changes is a fair criticism.

 

[whobethis16]

No they didnt. Vescovi did, makes 1 and all they can do is tie

He did make the one. Awaka ****ed him over.

 

[utVolFanInVA]

@KY, @ATM & @AUB plus home against ALA, ARK & SC. Will be lucky to go 3-3 the way we are playing. More than likely 2-4 to round out the year. We will not end up in the top 4 of standings which means we start playing on day 2 of tournament. Don't want to play that many days in a row. The way we look, may only play one day ...

 

[NighthawkVol]

I've watched the last two weeks. These dudes either don't care or flat out suck.

Just leave then.

What an idiotic take.

 

[Jaxon_Vol2017]

Play better as an underdog. They are about to get that opportunity.

LOL they about to get curb stomped

 

[2EastTnVols]

At this point I'm just gonna bet heavily on the rest of our opponents to cover. Take the sting out some.
