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

[VolsSportsFan]

Mr. NBA Springer is a complete no show today.

 

[GBO18]

The froshman playing like froshman so far today.

 

[Enki_Amenra]

Barnes cant make the shots for them. . .

 

[Voltopia]

Kentucky player jams his shoulder into Keon Johnson, shoving him back and displacing him to make room to shoot. "He body bumps him just a little there." Scintillating commentary. Scintillating.

 

[Lankykong]

It's not even close to that.

Somebody wasn’t here Pearl’s last year when he had a great team but was about to be fired

 

[JonGrudensAgent]

The cardboard cut outs are starting to walk out on this game.

This is pathetic.

 

[VolFreakJosh]

Mr. NBA Springer is a complete no show today.

Barnes would have been crucified if he didn’t land him.

 

[Rickyvol77]

I would never call a coach with a National Championship on his resume “ terrible”. However, I don’t consider Cal an elite coach either

Well if Barnes was 7-13 with 7-8 NBA players on his team, I’m sure you would say he wasn’t a more than an “average” coach

 

[1985Vols]

Mr. NBA Springer is a complete no show today.

Not Springer or Johnson’s best showing. However, we shouldn’t have to rely on freshman when we have 2 Seniora that were pre season All SEC and one is on the Wooden list for national POY

 

[tnvols72]

Ky can go 0 for 30 and still win this game. Ky looks to be improving and Ten regressing

 

[gainesvol82]

Also, UK has a lot of athletic talent. They are not as bad as their record.

 

[Teeboy]

TN has the worst home court "advantage" in the SEC.

12-3 Home record?

 

[cobbwebb0710]

It's not even close to that.

Wade Houston says hi...
GBO!!

 

[Teeboy]

I can promise you there are plenty of coaches out there that could do as good of a coaching job as Barnes has with this team

I'm anxious to hear....I'll start.

[Rickyvol77]

This is without a doubt the most disappointing basketball in Tennessee history. Questioning Rick Barnes at this point as to what he's trying to do with all of this talent.

You can always tell the young posters in these threads

 

[JonGrudensAgent]

12-3 Home record?

How many times did they get a decided advantage from the refs in those games?

 

[BisonVol]

Another horrible call in Kentucky's favor.

 

[Voltopia]

"He's not doing anything to call out the officials there." Oh how I wish. I'd pay good money if a player would actually call them out. Good money.

 

[1985Vols]

You gonna get a few on here real fired up with that. Even though it is very true. 4 by my count.

Barnes lack of recruiting and keeping a decent post player is his nemesis

 

[vols 30]

The froshman playing like froshman so far today.

It's frustrating. They played great the 1st game against UK

 

[rocketskates]

Insanely frustrating. I can’t recall such an inconsistent team.

 

[Rickyvol77]

12-3 Home record?

He’s talking about the way that SEC refs call it at TBA

 

[Lankykong]

I feel like we get stripped constantly and there are no fouls

 

[vavolfan6]

We have too many 30% shooting nights to be a top 25 team. When we struggle, its really ugly

 

[Cherokee Orange]

We may have talent but it's all concentrated on the wings on offense, with no PG and reliable post this year. Shut down our jump shot and collapse on Springer and things get difficult.

Our HOF Coach should be able to figure this out by now. Barnes better start recruiting a solid big man and some dang shooters. What a Joke!!!
