The Official #18 Tennessee @ #21 LSU Game Thread, 6:00 PM ET, ESPN2

[SpendToWinVol]

Bailey and JJJ have not improved a bit on offense since their arrival

 

[walkenvol]

LSU playing reckless and dirty, and up big on us, yet fans are whining to refs every possession

Following their scumbag coach’s lead. Nobody cries more

 

[1985Vols]

I don't understand how we have top notch recruiting classes and they always either suck on offense or never do enough in the big moments.

Barnes only cares about defense

 

[scores4fun]

LSU fans are very annoying!

I agree! They whine about every call, even when it's a clear foul!

 

[TooLegit2Quit]

We have 0 FGs in the past 4:08.

 

[Volstylexx]

LSU is an aggresive confident team. These type teams will always get the calls. This timid Barnes ball is just not working.

…are we watching the same game? 13 fouls against LSU, 5 against TN.

 

[DocVOLiday]

fans boo every call

or perceived no-call (from their perspective, of course). rather annoying IMO

 

[BreatheUT]

JJJ has to be the most overhyped player ever in UT BB history

I hate that because I like the guy a lot. He can't jump and that's the problem.

 

[Mr French]

We need to feed to Fulkerson and get him to get some fouls on them.

He can't get down low close enough to the basket. He's drawing them on defense though.

 

[I4Vols]

Apparently, LSU is accustomed to fouling and getting away with it. They cry every time they get whistled.

Clown like

 

[minorvol]

Double bonus. I’ll take it. Have to hit FTs

 

[GoBigOrange2008]

LSU had 9 fouls when fulky took charge- should we have shot fts?

 

[cwbytruckers]

Did anyone expect a win today? I will be happy to keep it under 15. Not a knock on the Vols just where they are playing.

 

[Volinnooga]

James is absolute garbage.

This is ridiculous. How old are you? 12?

 

[1985Vols]

Bailey and JJJ have not improved a bit on offense since their arrival

They have actually gotten worse

 

[Volstylexx]

I agree! They whine about every call, even when it's a clear foul!

sounds like Volnation members,

 

[RAVOL]

Yes a lot of fouls, imagine if they called em all

Absolutely. There not even trying to play D without body contact. JJJ it has effected his play.

 

[Indianavfl]

Consistency is supposed to be a characteristic of experienced players. JJJ and Bailey couldn’t be more experienced nor more inconsistent. Is this a coaching issue? I’m sincerely asking.

 

[Switch 625]

LSU fans are very annoying!

True, but at least they are into the game unlike at TBA where everyone just sits all game. I’ll give them that.

 

[creekerballer]

Amount of calls has gone our way. Hopefully they don’t start giving Wade his calls after he throws a tantrum these last few minutes.

 

[camp_steveo]

Fighting refs gets old. You can tell who they are for. It will make a difference later.

ok, but some of the comments in this thread sound like the Vols should just stay in the locker room after halftime.

I'd like to see if this team has any fight in them. The odds are against them. Let's see what they are made of.

 

[1985Vols]

True, but at least they are into the game unlike at TBA where everyone just sits all game. I’ll give them that.

That’s BS. Our fans are great when it’s a good opponent

 

[vols 30]

Fulky hasn't took a shot yet.

 

[Volprofch05]

Feel bad for Barnes that he has to shake Will Wade’s hand

 

[Bigorange123]

Slay Ride.
