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

[Anti-shunshinepumper]

We got to steal this one somehow

 

[molsen81]

One of J.J. Reddick´s seasons at Duke (sophomore or junior) started off with him being in a shooting slump and he decided to become a driver/slasher and mid range jumper. It helped to rebuild his confidence and Lanier needs to take that approach.

Well foul calling completely changed this half, I don’t mind calling some of these on us, but Kentucky has been doing as much or more without getting called.

Yeah that’s my issue. Just be consistent both ways. Seems every game, we see a different standard between halves.

 

[Vol4lif3]

Should be a one possession game but the refs

 

[vol24/7/365]

If that Dubar slam didn’t light a fire, then I don’t know what to think. Have to think we respond strong.

And the players and trainers raising their arms telling the crowd to get loud. It’s sad they got to do that

 

[vavolfan6]

Its amazing how the refs will magically even up the foul count and free throw count...its not calling the game correctly! Its calling the gane unbiased, then trying to make up by forcing calls for the other team

Absolutely. It worked out with the Lanier three but Igor was absolutely hacked on that last possession.

 

[tnvols72]

Just like the AU game, refs taking over late

 

[hUTch2002]

These all look like fouls to me. We are playing sloppy, lazy defense and getting beat to the basket consistently. Zero adjustments to how they’re playing our switches. We’re hacking the hell out of them.

That one might’ve been but no replay so hard to tell and there’s no way we’re fouling every time. It’s far different than how it was called the first half for sure though. Either way, we’re getting caught flat footed way too much. That’s the effect of their hot shooting.

 

[DooleyOrangePants]

Ill advised 3’s is not how we get the lead.

 

[Dergibvol]

Z needs to stop shooting

 

[FlVols]

Damnit

 

[connor]

we can’t make a bucket to save our lives

 

[volsarelife1]

ZZ just a really horrible shooter

 

[Anti-shunshinepumper]

Can't win if you can't hit a damn shot

 

[Vols919]

Why kick that back out? Just dunk it

 

[tnvols72]

ZZ shoots it and stands there and not even attempt to follow his shot

 

[PerryCountyVol]

Ugh

 

[hUTch2002]

ZZ can’t hit anything tonight.

 

[germantown902]

Ziegler’s legs are gone. No life on that shot

 

[VolsSportsFan]

That’s probably it

 

[Spawn]

Love ZZ but he can't shoot

 

[BreatheUT]

We wait too long to have a sense of urgency.

 

[Vols2015]

We keep shooting 3s like it’s end of game. Get simple easy shots! If a three is open, fine, otherwise go inside!

 

[patrick]

dribble dribble dribble nothing rinse repeat.

Total shyte offense.

Throwing up bricks. No purpose on offense. Sh$$ sh$$ sh$$.
