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

[volsarelife1]

We just got bent over with no lube that half

 

[VolunteerCeltic]

Barnes severely out coached today, had no plan to compete. Game over

 

[VolsFan-TX]

Barnes looks bewildered and exasperated.

I have the same look

 

[vol94]

Two bad calls on awaka

Are you serious? He was over the back. The refs have called a consistent game. TN is playing horrible again, today.

 

[Volstylexx]

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

Honestly, at that point, it would be better to fall all the way to a 6 seed.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

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 still expect the team to look much better than this.

 

[JCP201]

How many times can Tshiebwe use his off arm to pretty much push the defender away when catching an entry pass?

He's the star of the league. We have no stars so don't get those kind of calls.

 

[Volnbeers]

Good half

 

[LordVOLdemort]

a timeout to have mashack shoot a 3

 

[zaqhhh]

Man if we had gotten Wallace…

Still upset about that

 

[Voltrapnbama]

And what was inaccurate about his post?

Because anyone can’t have an opinion that is factual.

 

[GBO18]

Where were all you idiots on Wednesday? At church?

 

[tnvols72]

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.

This team is going home early in the SEC tourney and in the AA tourney. Not sure they make it out of the 1st game in both

 

[Chris4Vols22]

I would be too if my guys were incapable of hitting anything

Are you saying he's not accountable for his team's performance?

 

[vol94]

Good half

For KY

 

[hatingbamaisawayoflife]

I would be too if my guys were incapable of hitting anything

Amen

 

[VolunteerCeltic]

Wasn’t talking about the half.

They may not score 20 in the 2nd half

 

[ukvols]

Without our two best wings, we cannot match up without giving up size everywhere. As soon as ZZ picked up his second foul, this game was over.

 

[ColinS]

Man Barnes and his team look average today

Average???? Wow, you are being nice

 

[joshwa]

We'll storm back in the second half only to lose by four. Same song same dance.

 

[Voltrapnbama]

Man, what a great call there.

 

[I4Vols]

Our bigs playing like 5 foot tall elementary school kids
Key can't hit the broadside of a barn. Our guards and wings all too short vs UK
When Shack is your highlight offensively you know we are behind by a huge margin. And, of course, he takes a three for the last shot

Think we miss JJJ and JP?

 

[Volstylexx]

We shouldn't be ranked. Top 5 in talent and depth but we suck.

I see the crazies are out early today.

 

[Voltrapnbama]

We'll storm back in the second half only to lose by four. Same song same dance.

No we won’t, this game doesn’t ever get under 10.

 

[zaqhhh]

Frankly I’d rather lose like this than another buzzer beater.

Ik it’s counterintuitive but I can’t take another of those this season
