See y’all later. Be good boys.

Unfortunately that probably does it for our tournament hopes minus some big upsets. Sucks too because we played pretty well

 

[RAVOL]

Let one get away. JJJ definitely looked as healthy as I have seen him this year.

 

[imw8n4u]

Don’t know that I’ve ever seen a basketball team try to go prevent that early in a game with that slim of a lead. Brilliant I tell you, brilliant.

Exactly, can't milk a 4 point lead in bb for 6 minutes, geez!!!

 

[KBVol]

Damn I turned and we were up 7 and I turn back and we are losing on a last second play.

Would love to hear how we blew this one

Missed free throws and, as usual, a ton of bad turnovers.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

Can’t wait until our team is good enough to not have to depend on the refs to call the game fairly

And good enough not to make absolutely stupid mistakes that cost the game.

 

[lostsheep]

Good grief. This team makes it difficult to watch.

 

[1985Vols]

Unfortunately that probably does it for our tournament hopes minus some big upsets. Sucks too because we played pretty well

We done

 

[amaralfan1]

The ending was the perfect summation for the entire game. Kotsar nails a player shooting and it's not called.

 

[Lankykong]

It shouldn't have come down to that. If you ignore all the bonehead sh** and mistakes the team did and just blame the refs for the loss, then you might as well just always blame the refs.

We take care of business, we win. 100% that simple.

We’re not a good team. SC isn’t either. When two mediocre teams match up, it comes down to that, just like Bama and A&M

Exactly, can't milk a 4 point lead in bb for 6 minutes, geez!!!

Nope, one of the dumber things I’ve ever seen in b-ball game

 

[KBVol]

Dumb to ever lose to SC at anything

Correct. Especially that really bad SCar team. They’re awful.

 

[VolsAgainstTheWorld15]

I'm very pro Barnes, but the offensive possession where Bowden held the ball 35 feet from the basket for 15 seconds was terrible coaching. The ball was supposed to go to Vescovi, but you've gotta know as a coach when it isn't there to communicate to your team to abort and attack the basket.

 

[vols 30]

You all are toxic cry babies. Take a pill and go to bed

Yeah. We should be celebrating?

 

[Gavolboy]

Vescovi's desporation dribbling around the key has cost us how many games? Sometimes he play like a 10th grader.

 

[Lankykong]

And good enough not to make absolutely stupid mistakes that cost the game.

That’s part of being good enough, yeah

 

[GBO18]

How many pts did our senior Jordan Bowden score in the 2nd half?

 

[lilesrt]

This team is average. Hard fought game. Win some. Lose some.

 

[tnvols72]

Exactly, can't milk a 4 point lead in bb for 6 minutes, geez!!!

that was the dumbest thing I seen. Made zero sense

 

[tnvols72]

How many pts did our senior Jordan Bowden score in the 2nd half?

0

 

[VolsSportsFan]

Anyone that brings up UT's tourney chances should be banned

It's down to winning the SECT is the only shot. So yeah, we're not going to to the NCAAT.

 

[Warriorvol]

Hard-fought game. We missed way too many free throws. James had a good look at the end.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Up by 1 & Bowden wasn’t willing to drive on his guy...that sadly was a back breaking moment.

Santi isn’t the guy you want forced to dribble with 5 on the shot clock. Need a senior to take over there.

 

[GBO18]

Thanks. Didn’t know if I missed one.

 

[Lankykong]

This game revealed again that Vescovi isn’t good against ball pressure. Cost us late.
