The Official Tennessee @ South Carolina Game Thread, 6:00 PM ET, SEC Network

This game revealed again that Vescovi isn’t good against ball pressure. Cost us late.

And that Bowden isn't a leader.

 

[vavolfan6]

South Carolina was downright awful in every facet of the game except for drawing charges....I seriously don't know how such a bad team wins games?!

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Just need to keep battling, they are playing hard. Don’t want to see them quit on this season.

 

[VolGee4]

Correct. Especially that really bad SCar team. They’re awful.

They aren’t that bad. They’ve beaten UVA, UK, and Arkansas. Not like it’s Vandy.

 

[lostsheep]

The last charge call on Fulky was BS

Would’ve loved to have seen a replay of it.

 

[Kicker82]

Well we still have it all in front of us. Sweep home games beat Arky on road puts us in conversation for sure. We played hottest team in league coming into this game and should have won. Build on this with confidence and cut down on mistakes.

Na it’s over as of tonight. This was a must win based on our schedule. Probably .500 the rest of the way.

 

[tnvols72]

I don’t watch anymore because the officiating sucks. College basketball has a terrible product. I watched a little of the first half and was reminded why I don’t. It flat out sucks.

It was not all on the refs , they sucked for both teams. Tn went into prevent offense with almost 7 min left and up by 7 and cant make FTs ,cant rebound,cant dribble. SC made their FTs in the end.

 

[vavolfan6]

I blame the game on the refs taking off a point. James then makes the free throw and ties the game

 

[Gavolboy]

Are you trying to say desperation dribbling?

Yep. Thanks Kong dude.

We're not winning at UK or Auburn.

 

[Lankykong]

lmao shut up. the refs had absolutely nothing to do with this loss

They absolutely had something to do with the outcome of the game. There were like forty fouls called. Some of Fulk’s “TOs” were a result of the refs block/charge nonsense and not caring about hands being hit on passes

 

[CA_Vol]

Bowden with another strong showing. 1-7 and 5 points. Pathetic.

 

[VolunteerCeltic]

NCAA tournament in the rear-view mirror now, hello "maybe hello" to NIT

 

[MoCo_Vol]

This game revealed again that Vescovi isn’t good against ball pressure. Cost us late.

I hate this, dude is arguable our best freshman right now. And has every excuse to not be, he plays hard every possession, why Bowden put him in that situation that late in the shot clock?

Senior leadership.

 

[Lankykong]

Vescovi is the only player that can pass. Fulky would get zero points.

He had 25, but I guess considering the final play there’s no chance of him drawing a foul, so good point

 

[RAVOL]

we have both Fla and Au at home so we have a chance

You're stupid. No offense, of course.

 

[JRVOL11]

wish this season would end already

Yea, I get it. We don’t have a great team. But the inconsistency in officiating is awful. My blood pressure is better when not watching. I know officiating isn’t easy, but the SEC has a serious problem, yet, they won’t fix it.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

I blame Bowden for that about 99%. I don't know what in the hell he was doing just standing out there.

I've tried giving him the benefit of the doubt and waiting but I'm so over him. He's simply not a leader and not very good.

 

[Giveem6]

I'll see yall next year. I can not stomach another game of this trash. I'm extremely disappointed in Jordan bowden, dude make horrible plays and doesn't hit shots when he needs to. I'm taking a hiatus, go vols.

 

[Lankykong]

I hate this, dude is arguable our best freshman right now. And has every excuse to not be, he plays hard every possession, why Bowden put him in that situation that late in the shot clock?

I agree. It was a problem all game. Unfortunately he’s our only player that drives with a purpose, so it puts us in bad situations

 

[VolsSportsFan]

You're stupid. No offense, of course.

They had an effect, but they aren't the reason we lost.

 

[Chris4Vols22]

Ugh, tough loss. I still like watching this team play. I feel like we have several players with good potential, and we're the kind of team that's liable to eek out an unexpected win. I doubt we make the tournament, but the our remaining SOS will give us a chance to make up some ground (granted, a very slim chance), and maybe something crazy happens in the SEC tournament.

Still, I hate this loss. I can't believe the last play was executed perfectly but the shot was missed. Ouch.
