The Official #5 Tennessee @ Vanderbilt Game Thread, 6:00 PM ET, SEC Network

[SlyStone]

He needs to get after his team

he will at halftime

 

[Chris4Vols22]

Largely ugly and undisciplined basketball. Vandy is bad, but we are playing worse so far. I doubt we lose this game, but sheesh.

 

[CAVPUT]

Trailing a 5-13 team that's not gonna conference game so far this year at halftime. If that doesn't light your fire at halftime, I'd question the heart and leadership. Let's see what this team is made of.

 

[Jaxon_Vol2017]

We are playing terrible and they are playing outta their minds. It'll change second half.

 

[Clad in Big Orange]

This team is soft. This loss will be costly.

 

[VolsLFC]

Absolute smooth brain take when the even keeled Barnes gets a tech because the refs have been so bad

I guess we are suppose to just bend over and take it?

 

[tnvols72]

They should fire Stackgarbage at halftime. How can you have such a shat record with this type of effort?

Well his type of effort is out playing the #5 team. Regardless of the record, Tn still has to show up and play

 

[Putbacks]

Refs don’t want Tennessee to get too far ahead of Kentucky in the standings…

 

[vols 30]

JJJ with his typical half - 0 points

 

[Freak]

Nice close to stop the bleeding and cut it to five after the technical.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

I knew this would be a tough game, but it’s pretty unacceptable how we are playing.

Barnes better be ripping them a new one. That was a pathetic half.

 

[Orange931]

This team is soft. This loss will be costly.

Loss? We’re down 5 at the half, relax.

 

[OrangeInKy]

Because the fix is in. For whatever reason, the officiating crew’s agenda for tonight’s game was to show us the 50 states.

Sometimes referees may just be incompetent or screw up, not always fixed. I do plenty of stupid things without someone telling me to.

It’s every game. You guys blame the refs every basketball game or every Saturday in the fall. Just play better. Why whine every game about the friggin refs.

This team is soft. This loss will be costly.

Damn, it's already over?

 

[Doctrippin]

What was the opening Vegas line in this game?

 

[Voltopia]

It's always amusing to watch the ESPN ding dongs talk about how "hard" it is to play at Memorial, as if anyone's confused about what happens in that gym.

 

[VolunteerCeltic]

Vandy playing with more energy than Vols

 

[Chris4Vols22]

We are playing terrible and they are playing outta their minds. It'll change second half.

Vandy is not playing out of their mind. They look like a 5-13 team.

Greg Sankey loves influence. He needs to quit and go be the butler for St Nick

 

[TheMookieMonster]

It defies logic how we can make some of the best teams in this conference look silly year in and year out and then play like middle schoolers against even the worst Vandy teams in this building.

 

[Vol737]

Just tuned in at about the 5:00 mark. Gracious sakes alive! Get this thing turned around, men. It’s a virtual home game since we outnumber Vandy fans at Memorial Gym.

 

[landscapingvol]

JJJ with his typical half - 0 points

Sadly he is a non factor offensively in most games

 

[TooLegit2Quit]

Well, that first half automatically means both teams will combine for 45+ FTAs in the second half.

 

[zeppelin128]

Maybe we got our "what team doing?" once a game span of bad play out of the way already.
