A bunch of young players on the court. This is what topically happens with young players. Not to worry expect some of the same next year as well. Anyone thinking this teams issues go away next doesn't understand this game. We'll improve but we won't be a really good team as many expect. We lost too much and didn't do well enough recruiting the past couple of years.

Honestly, other than Pons, I'm not all that thrilled with anyone on this roster. I'll take a youth movement and take my lumps with true freshmen next year.

Barnes went after ref Nance at end of game. Nance has it out for Barnes for whole game. Not sure what the background is, but CRB was upset.
hey, this is my 10,000th post

Anyone else see the ref bump into barnes then look at him like he threw an elbow? Barnes was just standing there with his hands on his hips and the ref walked right through his elbow then turned and said something to barnes about the contact. Barnes gave him an ear full. Wonder if this crew had bad blood toward us?

I saw that too. The ref walked right into Barnes and the ref got pissed and asked Barnes if he bumped into him. Ref should be fined or suspended just for that. Looked like he did it on purpose to bait Barnes too.

Yeah you can. Tell me that the last 4 calls against us, the three call where Johnson didn’t touch him, the two missed out of bounds, and the missed foul on Vescovi’s 3 had no effect. Please. There were literally double digit missed calls that went against us and some led to multiple rebounds.

Lol. You score 55 points on the worst team in the league and don't bother to rebound. what do you expect.

Sour grapes; we got OWNED on the glass. OWNED.

You blame the refs for this sh** performance, then you might as well blame them for every UT loss ever. No excuse losing this game.

No, last game was on us (though Azabuike got away with a lot), as was every other loss this year. I’ll blame the refs when I want.

Barnes chased him down after game but it was off camera

Yeah we had a good performance and a bad performance and lost both games. Only Tennessee finds these moral victories so wonderful, I for one am ****ing tired of them.

I really felt good about that Kansas game going into it but nope. That one sucked because it was a great opportunity but this one was one we had to have.

Rebounding was terrible, but there is something wrong when A&M gets 29 free throws to only 15 for UT. The 12 more points on free throws was the difference in this game, and I simply don't believe UT fouled 6 more times than A&M, and I think only one was an end of game to catch up type of foul. VOLS hurt themselves with rebounding, but refs won this game.

Young and inexperienced team. Full of role players. Out best 2 of JJJ and Vescovi just aren’t ready yet. Hope they get a lot of work this offseason.

Maybe they would have less rebounds if the refs called walks, pushoffs, over the backs, etc. Guys would have actually fouled out of the game. Keep pretending that tackling/shoving Fulk and Pons when they go for rebounds has no impact on his ability to get them

I watched the same game. I saw a team that out positioned and muscled for rebounds. How many did UT fumble out of bounds?

Never seen an official do anything like that! What in the blue hell was that?! He ran into Coach and then called him out. League needs to review that footage...

1) That's the kind of clip you send to the league office with a strongly worded note. 2) If there's ever a time to take a fine from the SEC for trashing an official, tonight might be the time to do it. Mike Nance made several plays for A&M tonight.

Again, we score a lot more if they call the foul on Vescovi’s last 3 point attempt, Fulk’s goaltend, get the OOB calls correct, get the Fulk “trip” correct, occasionally call fouls on people going over the back (or just don’t call it and let JJJ get the OR over a guy under 6 ft) etc. This was just as bad as the UK game last year but people don’t care because our team is worse. We made them shoot under 30%, we shot well. Only thing was rebounding, and we had double digit blocks.

A&M had way more opportunities to draw fouls due to the offensive rebounds. It is very believable.

We just lost at home to the # 169 ranked team at Home. Worst loss in Barnes tenure. Out rebounded 46-21. Embarrassing!

Vescovi cleans up the turnovers and shoots the 3 a little better and he could be good.

I'm just not impressed with Fulkerson. He's better as the spunky bench player that provides a spark then an integral front court player. Just gets shoved around too much.

James is taking on too much of a workload by necessity .Think it'll pay off next season for him though.

Beyond those 3, no idea what the rest of these guys can offer for next season.

Rick Barnes just took a charge from the official lol

That was the most irritating call of the game. The ref walked directly into CRB and then turned and accused him of bumping him. Later, the same ref is shown eyeing CRB as he walks back on the floor.

Then enjoy yourself, because you look like a fool doing so this game. TAMU is garbage and we're at home. No excuse for playing this badly.

Okay fine, let’s go to the basics. Did you think the game was officiated well? I agree that we deserved to lose, but I don’t think either team deserved to win, as the whole board said about us in the Mizzou game when we played well and outrebounded our opponent but shot like 30%.
