The Official Tennessee @ Alabama Game Thread, 7:00 PM ET, ESPNU

[RyanWalkerPGH]

At this point we have to hope we hold onto our recruits

Luckily they’ve signed or we’d probably be in meltdown territory.

 

[Tnfan1971]

It just seems nothing stinks in with these guys..were playing alot worse than we are...frustrating!

 

[Tnfan1971]

Sinks*

 

[kiddiedoc]

Or defense looks like a bunch of cats chasing a laser pointer.

Lol, ... Truth hurts.

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

I say let a bunch go, bring in 5 or 6 guys

 

[G0V0LS33]

Down 25-12 qualifies as ugly, IMO.

Not disagreeing but if we get beat 88 to 45 then I say that is turn off the lights I was drunk ugly.

 

[Roustabout]

Why are Gaines and ON riding the pine in this **** show?!

 

[VFL1127]

This team just isn't that good. It's a team full of roll players. No one has the ability to score at will. I can't wait for baseball season!

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

That 15-2 run is going to be hard to overcome.

 

[RAVOL]

In and out on Vescovi 3 wow

 

[brubaker]

The Iowa Democratic caucus was quicker than this team

 

[KB5252]

It is evident our recruiting recently has been horrid, this is an absolute trainwreck, these guys don't look like they belong on a power 5 roster, a couple may belong on a mid major roster.

 

[BreatheUT]

Barnes regretting that UCLA move right about now

This team is rough to watch. I don't think even Barnes felt like Turner would basically hang it up and Bowden would be petty much a non factor that is not even the best player on the team. He's not even top 3.

 

[kell7517]

Barnes just collecting them checks. They’ve looked bad this year.

 

[Catbone]

It's weird: you'd think we'd be better after losing our PG, missing our 5*, and having our only other returning "scorer" go invisible this season.

Everyone else has still regressed.

 

[G0V0LS33]

That 15-2 run is going to be hard to overcome.

With this team a 5 to 2 run is gonna be hard to overcome

 

[VolunteerCeltic]

Direct result of Barnes lack of recruiting and not preparing for the exodus of last years players. Dont tell me about next years players, they are not on this roster and there are no guarantees. JJJ was supposed to be the 2nd coming and he has not lived up to his overblown expectations by media and fans. It is what it is, Barnes should be reloading not rebuilding at this point in his UT tenure. Another blowout loss is brewing.

 

[kiddiedoc]

Good ball movement last possession, then Bowden passes on the wide open triple. Unbelievable, but he has become a liability on the court.

 

[zjcvols]

Vescovi
James
Fulkerson
Pons
Maybe Gaines

I’m not sure that anybody else on this team will ever be consistent contributors here. Man I pray Johnson/Springer/Walker are good

 

[KBVol]

This team won’t get an NIT invite. And they’re not gonna finish above .500. Just awful.

 

[gainesvol82]

Not having guards that can keep their man in front of them is killing us. Offensively we are slow and can't get any space.

 

[BreatheUT]

The fact that Johnson is getting a lot of minutes is a problem.

 

[ScottyP5]

Cause there's plenty to be positive about? No.

Lol no. I’m 100% with you. Just didn’t wanna be the only NegaVol

 

[zjcvols]

Barnes better thank the Lord that Turner sacrificed himself 40 minutes a night with a bum shoulder as long as he did or this team would be lucky to have 10 wins right now.

 

[BreatheUT]

We are terrible.
