The Ziegler middle finger picture did us no favors...

Yeah, sweet 16 game that I’m sure KY was going to sleepwalk through until Z made them really mad. This extra motivation crap is so stupid

A Kentucky player guarantee or a picture will not impact this game (maybe slightly). The winner will be determined by who makes shots. If KY shoots 50% from 3 and we shoot under 30% then we lose. If both teams are closer to their season averages, Tennessee should win. It's why we are favored in this game.

I was a web designer for a number of years and performed image editing routinely as part of that work. At the bottom of the picture you can judge that he is perhaps 3 to 4 feet from the wall. Do you know how close to the wall he'd have to be to cast such a short and well defined shadow like the ones seen alongside his arms? To me it's clearly fake and a rather cartoonish effort at that.

Are you implying ZZ is a vampire?

You probably nailed it. I see some one that's a Vol fan but was a Kentucky fan as a kid because they got all the one and dones. They still pull for UK but tell all their Vol friends I'm all Vol.
There are a lot of ppl I know that say man I love my Vols but I grew up pulling for Duke they are just winners. I would say this was photo shopped by a Vol fan that is a closet UK fan. It definitely looks shopped. You have a lot of UT fans that pull for certain blue bloods privately and some not so private.

And that alone should tell everything that everyone should know. KY knows they are in deep waters, Butler's comments, and a photoshop picture. Has anybody really ever heard/seen any bad pregame comments or actions out of a Tennessee player on a CRB coached team. Let alone a photo. NO.

Team is Focused, we don't need to rile KY up nor do they. We are focused they are not and the fan bases are what they are especially KY.

What's more, the media uses false clamor for clicks and viewership.
Kind of like the election and social media. All a bunch of BS. But stay tuned and have faith in our coach and players.
CBR does not play games he stays on topic.

I haven't seen it myself, but I heard that the photographer was tracked down and verified authenticity.

Show us a link to the article where this is in writing.

You can easily tell it's photoshopped - look at the outline along his arms where the image was a cut/paste job.

I believe it was a KY fan that made the pic trying to fire his team and fans up. Why they would think the team needed motivation for this game, who knows.

Sitting here reading all the comments, I had a thought that it was probably a Ky fan had made the picture, trying to get them mad and inspired to put a whopping on us. Hope it backfires.

The photographer is franklin.photos on IG, it's a real image and I love it.

ZZ has played in Rupp for 4 years, more than anyone on their roster. He posed for a funny picture. Wasn't flipping off fans or players, who cares.

It was discussed on the radio yesterday, that's where I heard the info.

I'm not a professional photographer or anything, but I am experienced in photography and photo editing. To my eye, there is nothing that jumps out and screams doctoring any part of Zeigler's anatomy. The color saturation and hue is bold, and it looks noticeably different than most UT sports photos we see - I assume that's why some think the photo is not authentic. For the record, I'm not claiming it is or isn't authentic; just saying that there's not a lot to point to in order to support the argument that it's fake.
