The Official #11 Tennessee @ Kentucky Game Thread, 8:00 PM ET, ESPN

[VolsSportsFan]

I feel like we’re actually playing pretty decent. Need to rebound better, but kind of hard to play physical when Fulky/ON/Pons all have two fouls.

Our shooting has to get better.

 

[JohnD13]

I hesitate to use the term “soft“ when describing this team but it’s really true. If the shots are falling & calls going their way they are fine. When they face adversity they fold , which makes me inclined to agree with your post that they lack a strong personality / extension of the coach on the floor type player .

Geez we have the worst so called fans

 

[VolFreakJosh]

Barnes shouldn't leave this game without getting ejected if we lose and fouls continue to mount up. Refs have greatly impacted the game from the tip off.

That’s my only complaint about Barnes.

So what if he gets ejected? Show your ass to referees and call their BS out.

No way I could control my temper on the sidelines right now.

That was so egregious I had to rewind live to make sure I wasn’t crazy.

I did the same thing. I thought I must have missed something.

And have a fairly officiated game ( especially by Doug Shows)

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Gonna be intersting to see how quickly one of our key players get their 3rd foul.

O/U 1 minute? I go under.

 

[AllVol68]

Sure thing Jethro.

Alrighty Ellie May

 

[kiddiedoc]

This was possibly the most egregious thing in the half. He was 3 feet in the air and the ball was still live, and Dudley Dumbass whistled it to the Cats.

Blew the damn whistle while we were still in the air

 

[BeecherVol]

Important half for the rest of this season.
The officiating is bad but UK is as well.

Gotta figure out a way to win this game.

 

[1985Vols]

Wrong

Walker wasn’t injured?

Sitting on my couch, I was hoping he was gonna throw a chair on the court.

Agree, otherwise this season could talk real fast

 

[VolunteerCeltic]

Fulky and vescovi will get 3rd foul called within first two minutes...

 

[BigOrangeFanatic]

Over. They'll nail 2 of our guys for their 3rd foul by the 18:00 mark.

 

[johnboyhunter]

I will never watch a game there.

I live in Lexington so it was pretty convenient. Haven’t been to Kroger Field yet. Don’t want to go til our football team is stabilized either.

Good news is my new job with my company will take me to Knoxville often. Got to get a break from Lexington.

 

[BeecherVol]

Esp since Fulky and Scovi both had 2 in like the first 3 minutes. Thus: zero points

Vescovi has to figure out what he can and can't do.
If hes not scoring hes a liability.

 

[LSG410EC83]

Fulky and vescovi will get 3rd foul called within first two minutes...

If they do, Barnes might as well just leave them in. They are going to call the fouls on them anyway.

Night John Boy

Night Mary Ellen

He tends to try and be their friends,but that doesn't work for Rupp Referees

The only time I go to Rupp is for concerts.

I’ll never watch a game there.

 

[alvinkamara]

I'm sorry, but Dick's gotta go......he's a caricature of himself

 

[BigOrangeFanatic]

They officiating will have to even out In this half for us to have a chance. We just aren't good enough to overcome it.

 

[1985Vols]

Best I’ve seen KY play all year

Come on Fulk
