The Official #4 Tennessee vs #15 Kentucky Game Thread, Saturday 4:00 PM EST/CBS

DK mugged every time he gets inside the three point line

 

[OrangeTsar]

Got to start getting baskets in the paint

 

[TheMookieMonster]

They are getting into serious foul trouble. Gotta keep taking it at them.

Yep. A lot of fouls not called on Kentucky, too. Most physical they have looked all year but part of that is because they are really hacking away daring officials to call it.

 

[Jravol78]

These cap1 commercials … good thing they aren’t smelling Gwyneth Paltrows candles

 

[johnboyhunter]

They have 4 guys with 2 fouls. Drive the lane, get fouls. Get in the bonus early.

 

[Caz]

I’ll bet Barnes is not a happy coach and will inspire them coming out on fire 2nd half. Calling it now!!

 

[JCP201]

Even when we are playing poorly, Knecht keeps us in the game.

 

[VolCalls]

Can’t argue with that. Vescovi especially is passing on way too many shots.

Vescovi keeps tripping over his own two feet. He also lost the ball going up on the breakaway. It’s like he’s on roller skates.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

With how bad the team outside DK looked on Offense, being down just 4 and Kentucky having 5 players with 2 fouls that’s kind of a win.

They’re not defending without fouling, hopefully they tire out or slack off to avoid fouls.

Gotta have everyone other than DK step up.

 

[berryvol]

when the Ky player could not touch the ball JJJ stood there and even raised his arms with the Ky player and then decided to go for the ball. Go back and watch it

Seems like you’re picking nits a little, but go off.

 

[Putbacks]

Oglesby is either incompetent or biased. Video footage proves it.

 

[KnoxtotheBoro20]

4th in air foul ive seen not called. Guess body checks are fine now.

This! The difference in about 6-8 FTs and 3-4 fouls. 2 on knecht, 1 on Vescovi, 1 on aidoo

 

[WillisWG]

Aidoo's 1st basket.....be hot next half

 

[VolsAgainstTheWorld15]

Thank God that half is over. Fortunate to only be down four. Going to have to stay angry and locked in on defense find some offense aside from DK.

 

[D3Athlete]

Definitely survived. Shot 22% from the field and only down 4. I’m not complaining. Keep being aggressive and drive in the paint.

We also played most of the half without ZZ because of foul trouble. He was stirring the drink when he was in, should be a better 2H

 

[TN1111]

Was ZZ in foul trouble? Seems like he was out of the game for a long time.

 

[General Jack]

I feel like we’re lucky to be down only 4.

 

[PEPPERJAX]

Down 4 points after a horrible half isn’t that bad. Time to regroup.

 

[Vol737]

To be down by 4 after that display? I’ll take it.

It’s kind of a miracle considering…

 

[Johnnyreb#VFL]

We gonna have to go 2 bigs

 

[volsack7]

Sure we have played, but they have had Dillingham and others on the bench for most of this half. We’re going to have to tighten up the defense and stop helping so much off the 3. Make them take the tough 2 and crash the glass.

 

[Clad in Big Orange]

JJJ, Santi, Gainey must produce if we win this game.

 

[volsarelife1]

Definitely going to need someone else to step up to help Knecht

Yes
