[Switch 625]

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

No one can dribble, Fulky with a boneheaded charge, Bowden disappears, Vescovi leaves his feet without a plan for what to do with the ball, turnovers, can’t hit open shots, etc.

Spelled Pons missed one and one and Vescovi's desporation dribbling.

 

[tnvols72]

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

we have no real ball handlers on the team. Not 1

 

[JCP201]

UGH, I hate losing games like this.

 

[Vols All Day]

Some of these guys with goose eggs got to figure something out or the transfer portal they will go.

Are you trying to say desperation dribbling?

 

[BigOrangeFanatic]

Free throws and giving up a gazillion offensive rebounds lost us this game. Officiating was just icing on the cake at the end.

Pissed away an opportunity today boys.

Good Lord. Bowden 1-7.

 

[TrumpedUpVol]

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

This team pissed everything away down the stretch. Some of it is understandable, and most of it is forgivable, but we have some players getting minutes who shouldn’t be seeing the court any more this season.

 

[feathersax]

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

SC missed even more, but they hit when it counted. Gut-wrenching loss.

 

[SouthKnoxVOL]

Nice shot on a wide open look for the 5 star there.

Lmao...stfu...petty

 

[RAVOL]

Well we still have it all in front of us. Sweep home games beat Arky on road puts us in conversation for sure. We played hottest team in league coming into this game and should have won. Build on this with confidence and cut down on mistakes.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Their terrible FT shooters went clutch at the end and didn’t miss, meanwhile we couldn’t hit.

That’s a game where we needed an Admiral take over, no one was willing

 

[VolPack22]

Stats were very similar across the board for both teams except for turnovers. We had 20 and they had 14. If we cut that down to 15 then we probably win by a couple of buckets. Giving away 20 possessions is unacceptable. Not even giving your team a chance with that recklessness. I know Fulky carried us offensively but he had 6 and Vescovi had 4. That’s half the team’s turnovers right there.

 

[berryvol]

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

lmao shut up. the refs had absolutely nothing to do with this loss

 

[VolGee4]

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.

I don’t watch anymore because the officiating sucks. College basketball has a terrible product. I watched a little of the first half and was reminded why I don’t. It flat out sucks.

 

[vols 30]

It's amazing that a college team is in that situation

 

[TheThrill]

The last charge call on Fulky was BS

 

[tnvols72]

It really is , somebody failed big time in getting a true PG in this program. blows my mind.

 

[C-south]

Sickening. Thanks a bunch, Bowden.

It’s not just him. Nobody can handle the ball and nobody wants to shoot. I’d rather take a bad shot than turn the ball over 30 times a game. Viscovi is a terrible point guard. It seems like an accomplishment every time he gets it up the court on an inbound. Pons looks like an elite athlete but without an athletic bone in his body. Bowden was seemingly gonna be a go to player this year but he is dreadful and almost looks like he doesn’t want to be out there half the time. That said officiating was absolutely horrid.

 

[CA_Vol]

Pons missed front end of 1 and 1 with a couple minutes to go was huge

He blows.

 

[utvolpj]

The last charge call on Fulky was BS

Rewound it several times and the defender was way behind that play. Should have been an easy block call

 

[Gavolboy]

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

Right. He's taking up a spot on the floor where someone else (without issues) might be just a little productive.

Vescovi is the only player that can pass. Fulky would get zero points.

Fulk’s plays were fine, most were a block
