Team won a SEC championship.

It sucks, but not everything is about what occurs in the tournament.

Best season by a non Lady Vols basketball team by any varsity sport on campus in a long, long time.

When I saw Fulkerson start the beginning of the game I knew we were screwed. Why Barnes chose to start him over going with a 3 guard lineup will haunt me until next season. Great season but we choked away a chance at our first Final 4 as the sea had parted for us. I'm beginning to think we will never make one in my lifetime.

Agree on running a 3-guard offense... especially against a fast passing team.... Fulk should not be starting in a post-season tournament, period!

TN played the best at the start of the game.

No, Schofield played the best in the first 5 minutes ( 11 points) and then for some strange reason Barnes took him out. Fulkerson was clearly out of his league as he has been all season. You have been holding his jock all year and the best scenario for us is that he transfers and clears up a scholarship for next year.

The game changed when Walker showed he wasn't fast enough to hedge on the screen and recover. He gave up two easy baskets. Walkers failures changed that first half

It makes it worse that UK basically has had to play no higher seeds than themselves and won’t until the region final. They’re going to steamroll this team.

I agree but it's a broken record for us, it's always " wait until next year ". Still think there is a curse on UT Sports , especially after that last shot hit the side of the rim and bounced up on the backboard and went in plus some of the calls that went against us tonight were horrible.

Everyone comes back. That’s not an ordinary situation

Nope. Choked. Do not get that many chances. No guarantee that we will be back next year. Have to take advantage of opportunities

Get out of town. We’re back baby. Tonight stings but the reality is that we return everyone except for Daniel on a team that was ranked in the top 25 all season and won the regular season conference championship. The SEC coach of the year, player of the year and 6th man of the year will all be back.

We’re up.

Tough tough tough loss. Tennessee created their own expectations this year. Guarantee everyone will pick them as a favorite to win the SEC again next year.
We played bad the whole game except the first 4 and last 4 minutes really

Not having Alexander our starting 5 was a major difference

Bull **** post by you. I objected to the ridiculous, chronic attacks on one of the regular players. I've not been pumping him up like he's anything more than a role player coming off of the bench. He wears an orange shirt. You're being an ass saying that I'm holding his jock.

One of the most enjoyable and satisfying years of my fandome life following Vols Hoops!

I couldn't be prouder of these 2017-2018 Vols!

Can't be more excited for next November!

I hate that Barnes probably won't get that COY title. Needed one more win IMO.

Still, great season, even though my heart is broken and I feel kicked in the gutt right now.

We looked pretty good at the start of the game...

I feel bad for the guys who played their heart out, but they should still hold their heads high and be proud. Tough loss.

Who do you think played their heart out? Seemed like a lackluster performance to me. Looked like we thought we could just stroll through this game because we were "better".

He took him out because Admiral picked up his 2nd foul on the Bone missed layup.

Huge play.
