The Official #1 Tennessee @ #5 Kentucky Game Thread, 8:00 PM ET, ESPN

[Vol737]

Kenlucky will ALWAYS get home cooking. Refs letting KY play and calling us for anything they can dream up. Vols have to nail every shot they throw up just about to win this thing.

 

[SpaceCoastVol]

It’s not a bad question. He is getting pushed around like a freshman

yeah it is. It's stoopid.

 

[ATC_VOL]

Few rough stretches that half but plenty of time left.

 

[Voltopia]

They just let that last guy go in and nobody blocked him.

Pretty sure they'd rather finish the half down two more, as opposed to picking up the 100% guaranteed foul the refs would have called had anyone tried to stop him.

 

[casetopia]

Best news so far - Vitale called the early game so we don't have to listen to his blather

yes that and no beth mowins.

 

[VOLnMiami]

good thing i already mentally prepared myself for getting completely bent over by the refs tonight

Got all lubed up huh?...lol...Yeah it is brutal tonight but just like it usually is up there the refs are refusing to give Tennessee any breaks...I guess we are gonna have to make our own.

Barnes need some of play a zone . We have no answer for Washington

Wish I could like this more than once. I can't stand listening to him.

 

[Ace]

This same group of refs will call a truck load of fouls in 2 Nd half

 

[VolforFootball]

To only be down 6 is good right now. I have faith that Coach Barnes will make adjustments to slow down their primary scorer. And like you guys have said, we HAVE to start hitting these open shots.

 

[General Jack]

Barnes should ask Kyle in the dressing room why he came on the trip!

Yeah he needs to man up and get some boards. This is NBA training ground.

 

[Rockytoprowdy]

This feels like a game where they call no fouls the first have and then turn around and call one for breathing on somebody in the second half...

 

[JCP201]

Refs aren't too blame. Getting outworked ask over the place.

All you have to do is watch them being thrown to the ground in those "Physical play" playbacks with no foul calls. This is BS.

 

[OleRockyTop]

How many wins this year have we trailed at the half?

Florida has been the only other game we've trailed at half

 

[OWB]

We’ve got to work in the paint and get to line (if they call a foul).

 

[Schasz]

How many wins this year have we trailed at the half?

One at FL we were at that game, and they had a 3 point lead. We have to be a lot stronger on defense and on the boards if we have any hope coming back for a win tonight.

 

[Zues1]

Was Bone giving the ref a piece of his mind. Sure looked like it

 

[KB5252]

We can't stop him in the paint, no answer. Grant has to be a bigger factor down low. Defense has been very, very bad. Fulkerson isn't athletic enough to hang in with anyone in a KY uniform. Alexander appears to be too soft. We're in trouble.

 

[Ace]

Barnes saving Williams for 2nd half on Washington

 

[TennTom]

Played a horrendous half and only down by 6. Definitely a winnable game.

 

[Vol737]

Aight boys! Half time. I’m gonna grab a beer. Who wants one?

 

[W.TN.Orange Blood]

good thing i already mentally prepared myself for getting completely bent over by the refs tonight

Congrats to you sir. But we have another half of being mugged good by KY.

 

[SoFloVFL]

We about to run em the second half. KY won't play 40 minutes like we will. No worries here!

 

[landscapingvol]

yeah it is. It's stoopid.

You aren’t watching the same game. They are getting dominated inside

 

[LocoVol]

That is a half barnes should have got a technical in!
