The Official #8 Tennessee vs. #12 Kentucky Game Thread, 7:00 PM ET, ESPN

No movement, no pics set, just a bunch of dribbling on that last possession. Barnes what are you doing man? Good grief!

 

[volgr]

Rick Barnes may be the worst coach when it comes to last possession plays.

 

[A-RodWiLks]

Love Barnes but you've gotta figure out how to draw up something better than that

 

[RDU VOL#14]

I don’t understand anything about the late game management of the last 2 games . You didn’t need a three at all the for the last minute in a half. Just jacking 3s. Go to the basket and then foul and extend the game .

 

[utVolFanInVA]

This team is sinking fast! We just lost to a team playing without a PG and missing another key player on our home court no less ...

 

[hUTch2002]

Again, why are we shooting all these 3s? We wasted way too much time jacking up bricks from 3 instead of going inside or at least drawing a foul for an opportunity at the line.

Just give it up. We’re not allowed to take shots inside the arc.

 

[volsarelife1]

Gainey and ZZ were 3 for like 19

Those are the main reasons for this game. Them 2 sucked it up

 

[Adam2014]

Appropriate for Gainey to finish that off with an air ball 3

 

[Zues1]

Lord please send us a player that can consistently drain it.

 

[Volnbeers]

We've tried 44 threes, good grief

44

42 of them on that last possession alone!

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Settled for far too many 3s

Good effort, but damn we played into their hands perfectly.

 

[Chattahooligan]

Remember that time we were undefeated…that was fun

Just stupid ball

 

[87&91ALUM]

Game...just an awful performance. We are snakebit and making everyone look good. Vandy close loss, Auburn close loss, now Kentucky. Our chemistry has really changed since November. Estrella a big loss.

 

[Nighthawkvol10]

Coaching malpractice from Barnes there. Use the timeout when nothing is going to plan in that situation

 

[Bigorangejumpsuit]

Happens every year during this stretch.

 

[ukvols]

We have 21 more FGAs and are losing. Ridiculous.

 

[Dergibvol]

Two games in a row our best shooter doesn't get the ball when he should

 

[vols 30]

Damn. Should have been Lanier.

Absolutely.

 

[Namorto1]

Senior laden team played with composure of a bunch of freshman on offense.

 

[C-south]

Of course Gainey air balls

There was only 8 seconds on the clock

 

[johnboyhunter]

Has anyone seen being down 3, foul at 7s and pull out a win?

 

[vol_smoothie]

Gawd, I hate Kentucky basketball.
I remember 1972, one of the worst heartbreaks in Stokley history.
Pope has one of the most punchable faces in college basketball.

 

[molsen81]

We are who we thought we were
