First truly unacceptable game of the year. Disappointing. That will probably eliminate us from the sec race with the way bama is playing.

Lol yes bama will go undefeated in sec. Might as well be an nba team

Honestly it might be the worst loss of Barnes' regular season career here, given all the factors.

It was not coaching. This all on missed shots and lack of rebounding

 

[Volbrando]

Another first round loss in the tourney coming

 

[patrick]

Putrid offensive showing but m, hey, the Vols can play that defense.

This is why no matter what kind of regular season TN has, the Vols will get bounced early in the NCAAT.

 

[Vol8188]

Can’t live and die by the layup

That’s a joke right? Blue font?

 

[johnfnkelly]

Y’all crying over the refs. We should have won this game by 20 if we simply hit our open layups and 3’s. UK is terrible.

 

[Vtonerider]

Congrats Ky. Bad game for the refs. Super inconsistent

 

[sechamp2012]

Bilas is so non profound

Just drop the L Bias

 

[DC_Vol]

Missed layups and rebounding did us in today.

 

[volfan__18]

that’s embarrassing. you can’t even blame the refs. just bad basketball

 

[Caz]

We can not live with prosperity it seems. We crap the bed at the worst times. It’s a damn curse

 

[BradstarVols]

It was only a matter of time. Rick Barnes teams will always be two things: consistently good on defense, and inconsistent at best on offense.

I personally think this was on the players today. Doubled up on the boards and missed too many easy shots.

 

[BigOrangeFanatic]

No excuse for that. Pathetic

 

[Jdw2920]

Vols gonna Vols just when it’s like a curse

 

[Volnut]

Despite the refs and other things that went wrong, make a majority of those layups and we still could have won.

 

[amaralfan1]

Colorado was a worse loss. It won't matter much on Selection Sunday.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Goodbye, 1-seed. Goodbye, SEC regular season title.

 

[RAVOL]

Zeigler and Vescovi combined 7/25 shooting.

Not good from your 2 main guards.

 

[TrapVol]

All the missed easy shots in front of the rim lost this game. Free throws didn’t help, and neither did turnovers, but if we hit those easy shots we’re either tied or ahead. Just a really bizarre game.

 

[TNVOL68]

Just here for the dumb comments

 

[patrick]

Losing on your home court against fn UK.

What a horrible offensive showing and rebounding effort was horrible.

 

[vols 30]

who cares it's January. only thing that matters is the ncaa tournament

It's UK. Every Vol fan should care

 

[Go47]

Putrid offensive showing but m, hey, the Vols can play that defense.

This is why no matter what kind of regular season TN has, the Vols will get bounced early in the NCAAT.

This is straight truth.

 

[vol4eva]

Santi, James, Zeigler, Olivier, Philips all absolutely sucked today

 

[Vols All Day]

Pitiful performance from ORN. Bro is a senior.
