The Official #19 Tennessee vs. Kentucky Game Thread, 1:00 PM ET, CBS

[Matt2496]

Welp I'm out. I hope we can get it together soon.

 

[Bigorange123]

Bailey take the wheel

 

[Lankykong]

Has anyone else noticed Pons doesn't seem to have quick feet? Probably explains his inability to be in position to grab rebounds with his athleticism.

I think he’s not 100%. He was way more explosive a month ago before he had to leave that game

 

[BisonVol]

This one is probably over now. Even after a halftime talking to, Kentucky is still playing with way more energy than we are.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

Barnes had no excuse for Turner who had a career ending injury

Then Barnes must be an idiot.

 

[cardvolfan]

Kentucky is still playing lights out....crazy.

They’ll be a pretty decent NIT team.

 

[Lankykong]

If Fulk is hurt with all these injuries then somebody explain how he is helping this team?

We don’t have to play Plavsic

 

[C-south]

THIS! People need to get off Fulky's back. If there has EVER been a Vol we can all be confident is giving 100% at all times for the Orange & White, it's Fulkerson. Giving him grief should be off limits. It's like criticizing a soldier for being too tired to go back into the jungle under fire after he's already humped out 20 wounded brothers. Maybe some of you don't take COVID seriously enough. And maybe you should.

Please. If he’s hurt that bad and had a serious case of Covid he should be off the court and focus on recovering. It doesn’t take most people 6 months to recover. Your soldier analogy is just dumb.

 

[Teeboy]

I hate KY......but, if this team keeps playing like this...they will be a handful for anyone.

 

[BeecherVol]

Getting beat in pretty much every way you can today.

 

[1985Vols]

Kentucky is still playing lights out....crazy.

Not really, they were 0-7 from the field to start 2 nd half and opened up their lead on us

 

[volfanecs]

Am I losing my mind or did we just score, and the added the points to KY?

 

[RAVOL]

Jackson basically does whatever he wants to with Fulkerson

He is playing like a first round pick finally.

 

[vavolfan6]

Hard to put pressure on UK when refs are handing them points

 

[RockyTopFox]

Maybe Keon and Springer will be back next year?

They would be wise to bolt as fast as they can

 

[Roustabout]

Maybe, but Barnes also said Turner was fine when he had a career ending injury

People forget that Turner essentially told the media he was gone and Barnes didn’t know.

 

[wmcovol]

One thing Springer & Johnson need to realize....every game is vs Ky in the NBA.

 

[chef3531]

Are we out of bodies on the bench? Obviously Fulkerson isn't in there for his offense or defense. We have a water boy that can suit up?

 

[BeecherVol]

I hate KY......but, if this team keeps playing like this...they will be a handful for anyone.

They re playing better right now than at any point in the season.

UT has made it easier today.

 

[1985Vols]

They would be wise to bolt as fast as they can

Because??

 

[RAVOL]

Ky is confident and loose. Dangerous when you do have talent and they do.

 

[1985Vols]

They re playing better right now than at any point in the season.

UT has made it easier today.

Yep, our stellar defense is Swiss cheese today

 

[Lankykong]

Then Barnes must be an idiot.

Everyone is at least a little injured all of the time at this point in the year. If you’re not an experienced MD, it’s probably not that easy to tell if bad play is due to lack of effort or if the injury is legitimately causing the problem.

 

[Teeboy]

Not really, they were 0-7 from the field to start 2 nd half and opened up their lead on us

I must have the a different game on....KY looks like a top 5 team today. period. Their defense is playing and they are relentless on offense.

 

[VolFreakJosh]

They re playing better right now than at any point in the season.

UT has made it easier today.

A decent coach would have this UK team a tournament team by now
