Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

Not sure how you don’t have a better call to get a cleaner 3pt shot that last possession.

 

[KPT_VFL]

15 point lead in second half and we lose.

Phantom charge calls and playing a bum in clutch time. “Ticket” Gaines can get the first ticket out of Knoxville.

 

[Devo182]

6 turnovers in the 14-0 run killed us.

Fulky would've been huge today against Jones.

This. Fulky would have equaled a win.

But we turned it over waaay too much 2nd half. That's on us.

 

[SpringBokVol]

Bad loss. Had a real bad second half.

 

[pierce60]

Would’ve been nice to make a third consecutive SEC final, but oh well. One more day to rest.

I think this is a Sweet 16 team.

 

[RikidyBones]

Can't be up 15 and let the team go on a 14-0 run.

Inexcusible.

Youth, poor effort today, lack of SR leader in Fulky, not best coaching, ....

Plenty of reasons we lost it and wasn't on the refs today...

Three of the four charge calls were absolute ******** and pivotal during that bum ass run.

 

[KPT_VFL]

Tough loss. As usual fans are worse than the game. Let's fire all the coaches, trash all the kids, and whine about everything.

Gaines blew it. No question. Had to make one. Couldn’t do it. Soft society doesn’t want anyone’s feelings hurt.

 

[JP_UT_O&W]

The offensive fouls sucked...but we benefitted from some calls (although definitely not as egregious) on the way to the 15pt lead. just saying.

refs sucked and made bad calls sure, but we had the game in our pocket and we lost it.

You can blame coach for that. That was not a good position to put him in.

When you throw your arm out, that's a charge. Bama did it a dozen times 1st half and then we did it 2nd half. Both were clearly fouls.

 

[pierce60]

Bad loss. Had a real bad second half.

GA State in football was a bad loss. A loss to a top 10 team by 4 points isn’t a bad loss. Tough loss, yes. Bad loss, no.

 

[KPT_VFL]

Yep. Gaines shouldn’t have been in the game at all.

 

[TN-POSSUM]

Y'all wanted Vescovi out and Barnes pulled him and put Gaines in. It's y'all's fault.... own it!!!

Poor effort!”? What game did you watch? The refs calling bs fouls while lettting Bama do whatever for 18 minutes of 2nd half changed game. We were no longer allowed to drive the basket

 

[pierce60]

You can blame coach for that. That was not a good position to put him in.

You could put Vescovi back on him and guarantee 2 points.

 

[RikidyBones]

Let me say this.... Gaines should have been able to hit one of them. That inexcusable. But. But. To put him in at that moment is ridiculous given how cold he is overall.

 

[bignewt]

Snap and clear make a tourney run. Bama is a very good team and we had them beat. Learn how to finish.

 

[InVOLuntary]

He was substuting offense for defense. Ticket plays really good defense.

 

[SpringBokVol]

Vescovi was being isolated and was a huge liability on defense. They could score at will. Huge weak spot

Herb Jones scores is vescovi is in. Gaines defense is why he was out there. It was the right call. You can’t predict Gaines will be fouled on a rebound. But he got that stop and rebound.

Can’t believe Gaines let Bama go on that 14-0 run

 

[JP_UT_O&W]

Had Gaines made those FTs, it would have been a brilliant move by Barnes due to his block and rebound against Jones.

Too big of a risk IMO for Barnes to take with the game on the line, but they kept switching Vescovi on him and he kept losing and getting fouls called...

Not a fan of the call, but I can see why Barnes took a shot.

 

[pierce60]

Yes he does.

 

[Catbone]

Everyone in the world knew he was missing both as soon as he got sent to the line.

 

[Devo182]

Breathe and relax.

At the end of the day, we played our way up the tournament ladder this past week (6 seed possibly?) and the real goal is still in front of us.

Despite the loss, we are playing some good ball right now. Get Fulky back, rest Keon's ankle, and let's go.
