The Official #10 Tennessee @ Kentucky Game Thread, 1:00 PM ET, CBS

[GBO18]

Defense is not even good today.

 

[2EastTnVols]

This game will make a lot of the nega Vols very happy. I can just see them getting their after game threads ready with a big SMILE on their face. They’re saying now I can have some fun grinning ear to ear. It’s coming.

It's deserved, we look like ass. Unless we have some kind of miracle comeback.

 

[UTFanHades]

Except Cal has had better players the entire time Barnes has been here, including this year, yet they’re about even overall against each other.

Thank you-lots to complain about but saying Barnes hasn’t had incredible success vs Cal is nonsensical, to keep it polite.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

JFC Awaka wtf are you doing?

 

[berryvol]

I’ll say it again. Ricks poor recruiting is what we are witnessing now.

You’re either the stupidest poster on this board or trolling the stupidest posters on this board. I hope, for your sake, it’s the second option.

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

And that sums it up right there. Ballgame.

 

[hatingbamaisawayoflife]

And we just witnessed one of his best coached games against Bama

Lol. His fault we miss dunks I guess

2023 Volnbeers: Still a trash poster.

Getting demolished at the free throw line again against UK

What good would it do to get FTs anyway? We don’t hit them.

 

[Ernest T. Vol]

Loose ball foul of course

Two bad calls on awaka

 

[VOLnVANDYland]

free throw shooting has been a huge problem for us this year. Our team % obscures the fact that so many guys on our team can't hit an FT and don't even seem to try.

Even our good FT shooters always seem to miss front end of 1-1

 

[roberthunter]

Good thing he saved that timeout.

 

[VolsFan-TX]

What is our record for fewest points in a half?

 

[C-south]

Who believes TN can overcome a 18 point halftime deficit? It was fun watching them warmup before game. Team was not ready for this game, that is on Barnes and staff.

Missing free throws and layups it won’t be 18.

 

[hatingbamaisawayoflife]

Wow.
team no showed on Barnes

 

[volsarelife1]

Mashack is the only player on the team that's acted like they've even wanted to play

 

[TheMookieMonster]

It’s upsetting to see us lose to Kentucky and to play poorly but expecting to win in Rupp without 2 of our 4 best players is an extremely tall task. Winning against Alabama was amazing but we shouldn’t discount how much Josiah and Jullian mean to the team

I’m not discounting them, but Kentucky is also down 2 players and they aren’t a good team. Again, like I said, I’m not saying I expect it to be easy but we’re down 20 points at half to a TERRIBLE Kentucky team. I expect that a team that just beat the #1 team at home should be better.

Criticism is deserved with this performance. I don’t know why anyone would be comfortable or okay with how this team looks with March right around the corner.

 

[Volstylexx]

Makes you wonder how this team has won 20 games

Incredibly hard to win on the road in college basketball this year. Has happened to every team in the nation. It will make for an interesting March, seeing who plays well on a neutral floor.

 

[volsarelife1]

Great job using your first timeout you dumb ass

 

[hatingbamaisawayoflife]

What is our record for fewest points in a half?

Was 21

 

[Cartervol]

Going to play themselves right into that 5 -12 match-up...This team has been trash for much of the last month..

 

[barney]

jeez this is just embarrassing. Can't hit a ft can't dunk can't layup

 

[TheBigOne10]

Barnes looks perplexed

 

[SouthKnoxVOL]

I thought nothing could get more unbearable than the football forum....but this place takes the cake.

 

[Pennheel]

I'm glad we've scored 19 points in the half and Barnes didn't use a single time out.

I don't think it would help at this point,but he has used the Roy Williams philosophy of not calling timeouts.
