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

[Ace]

Jalen Johnson may have earned more time with his play in the last 5 minutes

 

[ttocswob]

I've watched enough of this garbage ball...

 

[1985Vols]

2 home games.. 47 pts and 48...

Ouch!

 

[BreatheUT]

well at least they scored 24 this half

Consistency?

Seriously the defense has gotten worse too. Offense doesn't help.

Should be starting over Gaines

What would you say he did wrong in recruiting

Badly misevaluated Darrington, Kent, Walker, Burns. Took on Victor Bailey as a transfer knowing he wouldn't be able to play this year and knowing we needed bodies for this season. When almost half the scholarships you've been able to offer the last few years are taken up by recruiting misses that you had to replace and ineligible players, it makes things tough.

I just want some Skrewball Whiskey, and fight TV TEddy

Is that stuff actually good?

what offense lol

 

[G0V0LS33]

35 percent from the floor and 48 points will beat no one left on the schedule. The tourney is a long shot at this time and we need to work on a lot.

 

[vols 30]

JJJ

1-6
3 rebounds
5 assists
3 turnovers
2 FTA

Just...yikes

I know he's a freshman, but you'd think him or Bowden would have it in them to step up with LT out. Maybe they don't it in them.

 

[VolGee4]

Hey I hope they tear it up!! I know it’s hard for some of you to believe but those of us that criticize also just want the Vols to win. But like I said even Kentucky level freshman don’t pan out to win you much a lot of the time. And you can’t tell me there won’t be a ton of people on here next year screaming about “ we are so young what did you expect?!?” If things start to go south next year. I’m just pointing out that the irony will be that the ones saying that will be the same ones who are saying next years freshman will be our savior. Anyway I hope your right and not me because I’m tired of none of our teams ever getting it done and I’m tired of the endless excuses for all of them every time.

Then quit watching. It’s entertainment. Our men’s basketball program and football program are in much better places than 4 years ago. Alabama has a big bandwagon to jump on.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Gaines & Jalen showed up...not enough.

JJJ seems unsure of what type of player he is, needs to stop thinking about it so much.

Bowden not being able to really take over on either side of the court has been a big letdown.

 

[Orange Death]

Did we lose that much losing LT? Or is something else wrong? I feel like going toe-to-toe with Memphis to be obliterated by Wisconsin means something is up...unless LT was just that good?

If by tourney you mean "NIT", I agree. This team ain't making the NCAAT.

 

[zjcvols]

We have to play Kansas at Phog Allen

 

[VolGee4]

We were better than this team

Yea, and we have 3 top 35 players coming after a SS last year. But oh well.

 

[vols 30]

Not a single player hit double figures.

 

[tnvols72]

We have to play Kansas at Phog Allen

that will be ugly

[Tnphil]

JMO but when you are getting top 4 coaching money from this season forward you reload and not rebuild. We all pretty much knew this season was going to be tough but we aren't a very good BB team and worse than I thought.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Young & inexperienced, just gotta grow and get better each day.

A good shooting night with a big win would do wonders for the confidence of this team.

Telling stat.

Jalen Johnson looked like he was the only one with an offensive pulse but it could've been fools gold since we were down big.

We were really concerned about James being a one and done player. There is zero doubt in my mind that this team is getting coached, it’s just time they take a look in the mirror and somebody has to step up, take control of the team and be a leader.
GBO!!

The peanut butter whiskey is not terrible worth trying, but I couldn't drink a lot of it.
