The Official #6 [2] Tennessee vs. #2 [1] Houston Game Thread, 2:20 PM ET, CBS

[MoCo_Vol]

Different game if we play both halves like we did this one.

Good season men, sad ZZ & Shack won’t get a FF in their careers.

But SECT Championship, SEC Regular Season Championship, 3 straight Sweet Sixteens & back to back Elite Eights is an impressive career.

 

[FortSanders]

A 19 point loss? It's football season now.

 

[HeuperDrive]

Anyway, hope Houston wins if all now. I really like Sampson. And it’s better than Duke, Florida our Auburn winning it all.

 

[Deathandtaxes]

Death taxes and Tennessee sports letting its fans down. The governmental conspiracy to see how much a fanbase can take continues in earnest

You rang?

 

[SlyStone]

We got Boat Raced Big Time!!

 

[volsarelife1]

Zeigler and Lanier finished a combined 5/27 shooting today

 

[amaralfan1]

It's just sad that ZZ and Shack went four years and broke no new ground at Tennessee. Good players and ZZ will have his number in the rafters, but they didn't bring this team anywhere it hadn't already been.

 

[zeppelin128]

This leaves a terrible mark on a good season.

 

[Clad in Big Orange]

At least, Todd Golden and Bruce Pearl are good men. (Said no one ever)

 

[Switch 625]

If a whole team can’t hit wide open shots, there’s a problem with coaching on the offensive side of the ball.

 

[Delmar]

This was one of our off days and we can't win in this round on our off days.

Yep. That first half reminded me of the whole game at Gainesville. Just awful.

 

[tnvols72]

Epic beat down. FTs and no shooters and D got exposed. Barnes needs to focus on fielding a better offense

 

[VolunteerVFL]

A 19 point loss? It's football season now.

Casual. It's baseball season.

 

[RAVOL]

All these teams sitting at home watching the Vols.
Barnes is the Coach, but he can’t make the shots. He can draw plays, coach the players up, but the players have to make the shots.
Why a player wouldn’t want to play for him is beyond me. He is a fantastic representative for our University, and he is the winningest active coach in America. Sure, he could’ve probably made some decisions that would’ve affected the outcome, but this loss is squarely on the players, particularly the seniors who played poorly. I’m proud of our team and coaches and I look forward to next season. Go Big Orange!!

Great Post Barnes stormers are sad

 

[Vfl83]

Time to start recruiting more scorers. You can't win if you don't score

 

[Other_Guy]

What's more surprising:
15 1st half points or the fact they made it to 50 lol

 

[djwes]

Just pathetic not prepared for the most critical game of the season.

 

[JCP201]

At least we made a sort of a run and it wasn't as horrible as it coud ahve been.\

 

[Mid Tenn Vol]

Yeah but this is Tenn. I'm still not sure they actually won the natty in baseball.

Well they did lol. I was yelling at the tv when it happened !

 

[The Tall Gguy]

Ok. Now it's over. Great season. This team overachieved to get this far.

 

[Vols All Day]

Time to retool in the portal. Hopefully Barnes can get more size at PG, more scoring ability and more athleticism on the team.

 

[Caz]

Duke beats Houston and Florida or auburn

I'm hoping they do as bad as I dislike Duke. We just seem to not be able to have great things happen other than baseball

 

[theroyz71]

Did not gain any ground in the 2nd half, trailed by 19 at halftime and lost by 19.

 

[TrueOrange]

We blew it against Ole Miss which cost us a #1 seed and would allowed us to avoid teams like Duke and Houston.

Wasn’t the thought that Houston’s 1 seed was the potentially one up for grabs for Tennessee?

Tennessee would have still run into Houston in the elite 8 (if it, they’d probably have just jumped in at the 2 spot of Tennessee’s section of the bracket).

 

[VFL1127]

Same story all year for this team. One game they look great and the next they look like they've never played together before. Such a disappointing end to the season. Barnes needs to get some shooters and a TRUE big man on the team.
