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

[VolunteerVFL]

Rick thank you for everything you’ve done… it’s time though

This is why people treat us the way they do. You sir, this comment right here

 

[RDU VOL#14]

Just stupid ball

Absolutely low IQ basketball

 

[volsarelife1]

Love Barnes but you've gotta figure out how to draw up something better than that

He's not good at all at late game plays

 

[Rocky Top T]

Appropriate for Gainey to finish that off with an air ball 3

He's terrible

 

[patrick]

Just as expected. Missed the rim and the backboard.

Coach some real fn offense Rick.

Injured UK teams whips your ass at home - unacceptable.

Guaranteed than Barnes going to talk about his defenses failings. Lol.

Going to be a really long season in a bad way.

 

[NOLAPhil]

This team has no championship push in them.

 

[Anti-shunshinepumper]

This loss hurts

 

[Vol4lif3]

Go big blue in our arena stupid ky fans hope you get beat by Arkansas

 

[Caz]

Do we not ever put together any set plays or anything special when we need to get a shooter open?

That last possession was terrible in every single aspect of the game.

lol…just don’t have any shooters period

 

[SicEmSmokey33]

Piss poor effort

 

[Franklin_Vol09]

We just aren’t that good. Unless this team gets better by tournament time…we are sweet 16 at best

 

[DooleyOrangePants]

I just don’t understand the offensive gameplan, especially in crunch time. We had NOTHING drawn up. We didn’t even try to take it inside and draw a foul against a jumpy KY team.

 

[vavolfan6]

Took everything we had to lose this one. Kentucky should be embarassed to barely win. If not for a 50% shooting night they lose. Its the only way they win.

 

[RAVOL]

Oh Well not our night it happens sometimes. Now FL Game is must don't want to lose 3 in a row. Have to shoot it better.

 

[VFL1127]

Barnes it's time for you to go look in the mirror. I honestly see nothing from you on the sidelines!

 

[zeppelin128]

42 of them on that last possession alone!

lmao
Amazing we kept it this close, but man what a bad loss.

 

[floridavol25]

Barnes needs to retire …. He looks done on the sideline

 

[patrick]

Defense defense defense. Lol.

 

[Berry4Heisman14]

11-45 from 3 is unreal

 

[RockyTop140]

At least we got to hear one more brick. I was going through withdrawals

 

[Caz]

Rick Barnes may be the worst coach when it comes to last possession plays.

Can always count on a loss!

 

[tnvols72]

There is more proof that Tn ends up a bubble team than an automatic team.Tn is not good at all.

 

[molsen81]

Were you not entertained?…….

 

[volgr]

Settled for far too many 3s

Good effort, but damn we played into their hands perfectly.

We showed great effort vs Auburn but tonight was pathetically bad. Just flat all around.

 

[PowerT4me]

Pope put this team together from NOTHING and still punks Barnes.
