The Official #19 Tennessee vs. South Carolina Game Thread, 9:00 PM ET, SEC Network

Pons was rough today on offense

His stat line probably doesn’t look bad, but he turned it over and didn’t look comfortable. He won’t make it in the NBA without developing better ball handling.

 

[peerless98]

Did they call Pember 6’6? Lol

I heard 6'10

 

[RAVOL]

Nice win. Great shooting by VJ. Faulk was much better as well. In CHRIST Alone

 

[Vol49er]

Good game tonight for our Vols. Excited to have won 9 of the last 14 games against Kentucky after Saturday

 

[peerless98]

Ever heard of Larry Hunter or Doc Sauers? They both have more than 700 wins

You hadn't heard of them until you googled it

Victor Bailey Jr. loves his chicken. That was quite some performance by Mr. Bailey.

Barnes will never truly get the respect he deserves when it’s all said & done.

It’s a shame we have brain dead fans that think we could do better.

 

[I4Vols]

No I don’t. If that were true then there would be 100s of great coaches. There is a difference between “ good” and “ great”......

Same statement can be made describing fans

South Carolina gave the Vols their best, but UT is a much better team. Hope to see this level of play going forward. GBO!

You gave to subscribe. What's your credit card number?

Lol....swing and a miss

 

[walkenvol]

Ballgame, I'm outta here. Thank u, Pons, sending me home with a dunk

Vols 2 for 2 on Dog nights!

 

[wmcovol]

Where was JJJ?

Look , I think Barnes is a solid coach. I just don’t think he can be considered “ great” until he has more success in March. Look at his record vs. legit great coaches and get back to me

I still cant really find many people in real life that dont appreciate him, its mostly a loud minority on VN

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Uros had some good minutes there at the end I thought

And the few minutes he got in the UK game were decent.

You don't think there is credibility issues in this post? Let's see: comparing a coach at top level universities playing vs. top level talent and coaches at Albany and Western Carolina? Barnes made his bones on that kind of competition. His schools were U Texas, Clemson, U Tennessee, George Mason and Providence. Come on, be real.

We let them hang around by our unforced and careless turnovers

 

[Vol49er]

I continue to have hope for him, though id have more if he weren't already so old

 

[Mose Phillip's Watch]

Hope JJJ heals quick

 

[VOLnVANDYland]

Geez, y'all enjoy a nice win.

Easy win, don’t know about nice. Avoided a terrible loss and hopefully got VJjr and Fulk going. That’s about all you can say.

 

[DC_Vol]

Team is looking like the team from earlier in the season

Still too many turnovers.

Read my posts, I consider him a solid coach, just not “ great”. There are only a handful of “ great” coaches

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

Lol....swing and a miss

I’ve heard Barnes say it.

 

[ndubvols]

And the few minutes he got in the UK game were decent.

I think his main weakness is defensively and it’s kind of hard to tell in blowouts. I feel like he’d get abused in high pick and roll action.

Who are these great coaches you speak of?
