The Official Tennessee vs. #17 Auburn Game Thread, 12:00 PM ET, ESPN2

This is about to be Auburns 5th in a row against us

I was thinking about how he got in trouble and really the only people that paid any price are vol fans.
We lost a good coach and he was able to move on to another team and start rolling again.

It cost him probably 12-15 million dollars. It cost him pretty hugely. It's not wonder he takes extra emphasis on beating Tennessee.

Who’s fault was it though?

Sure as hell ain’t our fault.

#10 for auburn just unconscious today.

I think Auburn will win their 3rd straight SEC Tournament.

 

[Switch 625]

seems like the other teams seems to always have a career day shooting 3s against Tn

Well, when you play the cat-chasing-a-laser-pointer defense, you leave shooters wide open.

 

[lostsheep]

For whatever reason, Barnes's style of play just doesn't work against Pearl. Pearl beat him twice at Texas when Barnes had better teams, and still has his # now.

 

[KBVol]

My gawd. Can't even inbound a play. That was the dagger. .Then an airball 3 attempt. Will we EVER beat Bruce Pearl?

The 3 highly rated freshmen coming in better be very special, or the answer is no, not any time soon.

If Bruce's past is any indication, his success at Auburn will be followed by another swift kick in the rear end from the NCAA

 

[VolunteerCeltic]

Bruce Pearl is a great coach, but his career will always be tainted by his repeated instances of cheating, lying, having his assistants lie and take the fall as well as his personal indiscretions.

 

[VolArmy74]

Go take a nap. Someone is cranky.

Oh no, it's fun getting run off the floor in the most important game of the season.

 

[casetopia]

Who’s fault was it though?

Sure as hell ain’t our fault.

yeah it was 100% his fault. that's my point.

 

[VFL1127]

JJJ is just so inconsistent. We need the JJJ that showed up against Kentucky on a consistent basis!!

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Auburns style is just an awful matchup. Tennesees defense isnt built to stop them

 

[GBO18]

So we are going to be in the #8 or 9# seed next week?

 

[tnvols72]

I don’t understand how JJJ is so terrible some games. Especially since he has played great the last couple games.

still not sold on JJJ

 

[vavolfan6]

It's been 4 years since Tennessee last beat Auburn in Knoxville

It's sad considering Auburn is 7-45 coming into this game playing away at TN

 

[tnvols72]

8 3s and still getting wide open 3s

 

[SouthKnoxVOL]

I think Auburn will win their 3rd straight SEC Tournament.

They only won last year.

 

[KBVol]

Nice job Barnes letting the one guy killing you from 3 CONTINUOUSLY have open looks from 3.

 

[VFL1127]

Our guards just can run with Auburn. They have too much sleep.

 

[GBO18]

As a coach you can’t let one guy beat you. Bad game for Barnes.

 

[Tennesseefan2019]

This is over and it's time to watch the XFL

 

[Roustabout]

Bruce Pearl is a great coach, but his career will always be tainted by his repeated instances of cheating, lying, having his assistants lie and take the fall as well as his personal indiscretions.

Whatever you have to tell yourself. Fact is he owns Barnes and is coming off a final four. I’m sure all the AU fans can’t appreciate that FF because Pearl had a BBQ

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Switching against Auburn is not a recipe for success
