You can try and blame the refs...

[volsarelife1]

But missing 15 layups, 8 free throws, and getting outrebounded and out hustled is the reason.

Unacceptable loss. Pathetic. This team is so dependent on DK it’s not even funny. If he isn’t playing like the POTY, this team folds like a lawn chair.

Just wanna thank y’all for this win! This is the best we’ve been playing in years. Maybe NOW we’ll get ranked. Y’all will rebound and be okay too. Hell of a win! Yall made it a little scary late.

You should probably thank Pat Adams

Exactly. We literally breathe on SC players and they literally call 3 fouls back to back. Big yahoo lowers his shoulder in the post and shoves our defender thru the baseline, and somehow it’s a foul on us. Ok sure.

Prediction: you’ll go ice cold at UGA on Saturday and lose an ugly one. And then you’ll be #26 in the rankings again

Should I know who that is?

We should honestly be ranked now. Also I would be concerned if we lose to UGA twice. What I still can’t get my head around is the 47-74 loss to Alabama….

Great teams control the things they can control and not worry about the rest. They match SC in FT%, it's tied/a win, and make just 2 layups, the rest means nothing. 34 points left on the table between missed layups and FTs. Just 40% of those in the positive and this is another 7-10 point W.

Good win. You guys played a physical game and managed to disrupt our offense. Cocks deserved the win tonight.

I was literally shocked that Vegas had us at +14. They haven’t been watching us. Even if we lost I said no way it was by 14 or more. This was always going to be a close game.

Our defense is playing lights out. Haven’t seen defense like this since the 2017 deep tourney run with PJ and Thornwell.

 

[16VOLS14]

What you said is true but it can also be true that the refs were absolutely horrendous and momentum killers. We should have won the game in multiple facets but the refs shouldn't be held any less accountable because we beat ourselves. Time to hold them to a higer standard.

Two things can be true at once. The officiating was bad, but not why they lost. They had enough opportunities to make officiating a moot point

He was MVP of the game you just watched.

 

[DonDiego]

I live on the SC coast. I despise the gamecocks. Losing to this crap team on our home court can not be fixed. This team should forever live with this shame.

I had nothing to do with it.
Or it would have had a different outcome.

Pat Adams calling 3 fouls in 2 seconds is who you should thank.

 

[kell7517]

Does it not seem weird that a home team doesn’t even get 1 free throw attempt in a half?

 

[tennrich1]

While the officials clearly struggled tonight we simply missed to many bunnies and couldn’t make our free throws. And couldn’t get rebounds when we desperately needed a stop. SC deserved to win…but the Vols really looked bad. Poor DK needs someone to help wirh the scoring as well. Simply can NOT have JJJ scoring 2 pts and expect to win . . And Aidoo sitting with foul trouble didn’t help the flow either. It’s a long season and teams will have a loss or two like this.

GTH troll. Let's see where the yardbirds sit and cluck come tourney time. Good luck in the almost ran tourney--how'd that go for you last year? Ass end of the SEC in every sport that counts--the yardbirds!!

 

[Delmar]

You don’t watch much basketball do you?

 

[TNVOLFN]

Bellyaching about the refs is weak minded. They beat us, straight, in damn near every stat that matters. We shot a higher FG %, but that’s only because DK made a few toward the end. THIS is exactly how we’ll get beat in March, 2 points from JJJ and 2 points from Ziegler, and 8 points off the bench, absolutely terrible.

Good win troll we'll see you again in 10 years when you get your next one.
