Just caught up.

Love the tanking strategy. Rest up for the big one after that brutal stretch.


Our 2 worst losses all year came vs mids in games we didn't seem very interested in. One thing I know for sure is we've shown up vs every big time opponent. And that's everyone we'll see in the tourney and in games that mean everything.

Yawn.

It's notable the people who rush in merrily to gloat when we lose.

🖕 em...I will never understand being happy to be right about a disaster like this.

I think the pressure of expectations and needing to win to get the #1 seed got to them, so instead of coming out confident, they came out a bundle of nerves...I hope they got that out of their system....I hope it pisses them off.

It sucks to lose twice to a team you are far better than.

Been a brutal SEC tourney for our ladies and men's team. Men simply played blah, and women lost that heartbreaker where the number one team were rolling all over the floor crying due to a buzzer beater. BAMA comes to town for Basevols to start SEC. Need to win!!

The difference is between the two is the Ladies showed heart and fight, only to lose because of terrible coaching. As for the men, I got nothing there, just all around 💩.

I agree with you on the 🖕🏾em, because true fans don’t do that. But I can’t excuse the “well they came out nervous.” That’s literally what sets great teams apart from the mediocre ones. If you can’t handle the pressure this deep into the season, that’s a major issue for me.

The 2 old guys played like pureed 💩...I'm sure it's not because they don't care...may in fact be the opposite.

I don’t know how two guys that have played so much basketball at this level (and good basketball a decent amount of the time) can both look so lost offensively at exactly the same time.

Love ‘em both, but they’re getting us beat and capping our potential.

Lol true.

And people with "black names" with equal resumes get fewer callbacks...

"Factors".

That was so abominable, I could believe it if we tanked. Which makes no sense.

After seeing what DK went through those last 4 games (dude must have hit the floor 10 times every game) I really think this team is thirsting for rest over playing in back-to-back-to-back games when they're already the champs. Jmo. Far bigger picture ahead.


What I think worries people more is thinking this game is an indicator...well just ask the Vols team after they got embarrassed by TAMU 😏 Means ZILCH

Ok..bitch away if it makes you feel better. This team was never a dominant team, it has had THESE kind of games in them waiting to come out ALL year..it was always going to be a 💩 ton of luck and supreme effort to win a NC with this squad.

I still do and always will love this team...

But people should remember one thing and take heart ...the last time they played this poorly and janky looking was against A&M several weeks ago.

Though this team has occasional massive clunkers like this...they also have greatness in them.

I am a Vol..but I dot want them to play great in the Dance for me or us...I really hope they do great in the Dance just to shut the buttmunchers that 💩 all over them when they have the occasional bad day up...they play hard and they deserve to be appreciated, as does Rick Barnes...not bitched at and castigated incessantly by a bunch of entitled ignorant/stupid a**holes.

Mids are teams who we would face in the first and second rounds of the tourney though? State and A&M are both around that 7-11 seed range

The A&M game and it's aftermath is exactly what came to my mind today

Everything went wrong today. ZZ couldn't hit anything. Knecht wasn't his normal self. Aidoo got outmuscled time and again. No one else stepped up. It was bad. The whole team was out of synch.

This is what happens when you don't have any legit big guys. We got dominated in the post. Plain and simple. All of our losses are to physical teams with legit Bigs. Teams that win it in March have exactly that. We'll see what happens.

Guards win in March. This has literally been known for the last 10-15 years 😁😆🤣

I'm just going to let it go, and look forward to the NCAA tournament. I was getting worn out by all the goal post moving with the 1 seed, anyway.
