The Official #8 Tennessee vs. #12 Kentucky Game Thread, 7:00 PM ET, ESPN

You you have to think if he tore something they wouldn't let him on the bike. And they usually know right away if something is torn.

It’s a good indication. But sometimes tears aren’t immediately known - when I tore my ACL, I felt it immediately. Friend of mine tore his, and he kept playing the last few minutes of a game. As soon as he stopped, he knew it was serious. The body is weird, from person to person.

ZZ is the man

I wish Igor had Dubar’s confidence and aggression.

How can one kid have such horrible luck?

 

[DooleyOrangePants]

This is what contributes to dysfunction and lack of credibility on this board. Emotional post without taking the time to acknowledge facts first. Replay showed the ball clearly hit him on the side of the chest. But go ahead and blame the refs.

Dude, get over yourself. It’s a message board, not the Harvard Law Review. People post in real time in a game thread. Sometimes right, sometimes wrong, sometimes emotional, etc.

We shoot halfway decent we'll win this by double digits. Our offense is very bad. Igor had some big threes.

Igor had another that looked pure but rattled out

You can tell Coach has a real, close connection with Z. You could hear the genuine concern in his voice in that halftime interview.

This. Barnes was very subdue during interview. Usually he keeps talking but not this time.

I pray ZZ is okay. I post l/vent about him as a shooter. But that doesn’t mean i don’t love the kid and his overall play.

 

[VolsLFC]

Seriously what in the hell did we do to the basketball gods!?

 

[vol94]

Pretty much any family would do that if their son ran off the court hurt to be fair

Agree. Just posting a comment

One of the things no one ever mentions about Chris Lofton is that he was a wizard at finishing on a fast break… it was such an underrated part of his game. I wish we had someone like that nowadays.

He was!

I said this earlier and will say it again.

I really like Chaz and the Milk Man and have defended both.

It’s past time for both of them to embrace the stage and the physical play of the SEC. They are both well-paid. They need to step up and earn the $$$ they are being paid.

Lets go!!!

Played last 3 innings of a baseball game with one that I had no idea about until game was over. Paying for it to this day

 

[TennesseeFan07]

He is warming up.

 

[Anti-shunshinepumper]

He's on the bike - surely not a bad sign??

It's certainly better than on the way to the ER

 

[knoxchief]

This team needs Lanier to get hot from 3.

Lanier has seemed to have lost his touch. He ain't got it now and it might be in his head. It seems like he is afraid to shoot it!

 

[The Tall Gguy]

If the officials had called it decently, Kentucky would be killing us

No argument. But further proves my point.

I think he may come out of his slump. He’s def adjusting to the better competition. You can see it in his body language and post game comments after Vandy game.

 

[UTS4EVR]

That’s so aggravating. They’re calling ticky tack crap on us and not calling them when they hammer us.

Dude….Kentucky has 9 fouls and Tennessee only 4. You can’t blame this on officiating.

 

[Purplehaze26]

Replay shows it was knee

Totally agree. It’s hard to tell how much is “teams have a plan for Lanier” now versus he’s just in a shooting slump?? We know he’s capable.

 

[walkenvol]

He’s sure taking a bunch of shots if he’s afraid to shoot it?

I completely feel that man. ZZ I’m sure got the best care and rehab, but I have to feel for anyone that goes through it. It changes so much and you never really feel like it was before - at least I haven’t and that’s been over 20 years ago.

Chaz started to feel it towards the end of the half. I think he or Gainey get hot, it’ll really put pressure on Kentucky
