The Official #19 Tennessee vs. #13 Memphis Game Thread

[GBO18]

The seniors have been terrible. Just embarrassing. Bowden is nothing more than a role player on this team. He cannot be the guy the offense flows through. He sucks against athletic teams. Hope he finds Jesus or something and wakes up.

This was a bad loss. We are going to struggle this year, we don't deserve a ranking.

sure dont

 

[Ace]

I just watched a game between two average teams

 

[presskh]

Out coached, out played

Not true. Vols were better coached. Just couldn’t hit wide open shots.

 

[vavolfan6]

That loss was all about us...we can't shoot that bad and beat a Evansville team or a Memphis. The fact that we lost only by 4 says alot about how terrible Memphis is..

 

[Chris4Vols22]

That stings, but can't say I'm surprised. I think we'll be ok.

Big Game Rick

Oh bleep off.

 

[VOLinAL]

Penny should be embarrassed by his team. They are embarrassingly bad...so much "5* talent" yet they look miserable. They are an under performing group and none of those players are improving by playing for Penny.

You havent heard from listening to the broadcast? Wiseman is the second coming of Zion Williamson and they will beat the Lakers in the NBA finals.

 

[vols 30]

Played hard, but you can't win if you can't score. Turner and Bowden have to give us more on offense

That's why we lost - Turner and Bowden might as well stayed in bed today

 

[Rickyvol77]

We lost 4 really good players that score last year. We can’t have both our guards disappear an entire game and expect to win

 

[VolGee4]

They play a large part but these younger players should have been more seasoned by this time of the year and they aren't. Plenty of blame to go around.

Huh? True freshmen? If Turner and Bowden play mediocre, it’s a win.

Big Game Rick

Cause Rick shot 20%. Brilliant take

 

[VolFreakJosh]

Bunch of idiots in this fanbase.

Bad shooting night against the #13 ranked team in the country and suddenly we suck again. “Barnes can’t coach!”

We’ve already beat two Top 25 teams even though we were projected to struggle this year.

This loss sucks and Penny is still a whiny b*tch but we’re still a good team. Stop overreacting.

 

[Vols All Day]

This is a bad loss. I really don't care what anyone tries to say. 3 players complete no shows and that's 100% unacceptable.

This game really makes you worry about the Wisconsin and Cincinnati game.

 

[Jonboy]

This Tennessee team just can’t win with so little from Bowden and Turner.

 

[VolMarine1371]

It’s easy to beat Florida A&M. It’s another thing when you still have Kentucky, Kansas, and Auburn on the schedule!!!!!

 

[lilesrt]

Bad look for Rick Barnes and this team. Alot of disappointed folks in Knoxville today. Is Memphis better at football and basketball? Never thought I’d see the day.

 

[JCP201]

Barnes wasn’t out coached. Coach can’t go out there and make the shots. We couldn’t throw it in the ocean all game

Coaching was fine. Bowden and Turner both having bad games on the same day..

 

[vol9799]

I can handle the loss. I just don’t want Penny’s ******** that is about to come.

If the team couldn't do it, fans ought to have enough gumption to not let Memphis out of Knoxville. Throw the rats in the river with concrete shoes

 

[knucklehead_vol]

He should have told no more 3's, to a certain extent, and play more physical.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

This

You can bleep off too.

 

[GBO18]

I just watched a game between two average teams

Yep.

 

[TAD]

Yea ..Pons, Bowden and Turner really really bad games ... its in their head now .. I think Turner is hurt .. he looks like he has no strength in his shoulder ... Bowden no excuses .. he sucked big time ..Pons looked out of kilter too .. work on free throws too ...

They aren’t better at either. Don’t be ridiculous

 

[C-south]

What a pitiful team. They put forth effort but nobody can score, they turn the ball over WAY too much, defense is below average, and it’s inexcusable to not be able to hit free throws.
