The Official Tennessee vs. Wisconsin Game Thread, 1:30 PM ET, CBS

min in and 5 points scored, has to be a record low

 

[BreatheUT]

We know Bowden or Turner aren't as good as Kevin Punter. He was on a team that struggled but switched to PG and was the leading scorer. When the team stinks the PG has to take over.

 

[vols 30]

You know it's bad when JJ gets this much playing time

 

[kiddiedoc]

There is zero chance this team sees ANY postseason unless the new pg is a superstar

Correct. This kind of shooting and overall play will net us exactly zero SEC wins.

 

[TJVol95]

Again, you forget where we were 5 years ago. I understand coaching should get blame, but Barnes’ success has spoiled people. He just developed 3 nba draft picks and needs time to develop this freshmen class. Bowden has regressed, and Turner is out.

I remember well how bad off we were. Based on timing we should have a roster full of developed Barnes talent right? We shouldn’t be this bad.

 

[JohnD13]

We

29 points with 9 minutes left in the game

We may get 40

 

[tnvols72]

nobody is even looking to try and score , just pass it around until they turn the ball over

 

[1985Vols]

Outside of Pond and Fulky and JJJ I don’t see many players on this team playing much next season.

 

[kiddiedoc]

Basilio Basketball Overtime is gonna be so brutal..

Don't do that to yourself.

 

[Burhead]

We got hoo dooed pretty good by ranger rick. What else is new for his university.

Is it Rick's fault that the players he recruited didn't want to stay here?
Is it Rick's fault that players can't hit wide open shots?
Is it Rick's fault that Grant and Bone decided to chase the money and leave early when really they both should have come back?
Is it Rick's fault that Turner is too hurt to play and the NCAA decided to be a dick and not clear Plavšić? (Yet allowed DJ Burns to play right away?)

I don't think anyone expected to have another year like last year, just too many issues for this year.

 

[Vol737]

Man, this is awful. We can’t throw it in the ocean.

Dear Vols,

Shoot a thousand balls every day.

Love,

Admiral

 

[vols 30]

Fans booing JJJ for not shooting?

 

[VolforFootball]

We got em right where we want em!

 

[Alex10]

Lol sure

Lol ok

He's brutal but honest. So are his guests.

True. And that seems like a good thing TBH

makes too much sense

 

[JoAllan]

Yea they need to find a leader......quick.

 

[amaralfan1]

I just don't get why we don't take shots. Not only is this team bad... They are also pretty boring.

 

[Kicker82]

This team is badly missing turner. They can barely complete a pass without him.

 

[allvol123]

Absolutely pathetic.

Guess no schools will come gunning for Rick this offseason.

 

[Burhead]

Thank you

I'm just being realistic. I was expecting to be a fringe NCAA tourney team but now I'm just hoping to get to the NIT which would be a miracle.

I’ll give you most of those but it is ricks fault that Kent and Johnson were on the roster to start the year when it’s been obvious neither of them can play. And I love Barnes but he definitely shares some of the blame for this roster being in shambles.

 

[Power T-Rev]

Lol ok

You two should get a room. Lol
