The Official #6 Tennessee vs. #19 Missouri Game Thread, 8:20 PM ET, SEC Network

He literally took us to the sweet 16 so your point is invalid.

Lol, cool story he also got in as a frikin asterisk as a play in spot.... despite having NBA talent... dudes a joke

 

[chuckiepoo]

ciao. on to the next one...limping.

 

[I4Vols]

Maybe this is the year you lose your expected regular season title but win the SEC tournament.
We can hope...

 

[VOLnVANDYland]

Glad we didn't play Gonzaga now, they'd beat us by 40.

That would have been our first game of the year guarantee that would have been a 30 point loss

 

[VolGee4]

Anytime you play ticket, ORN, plavsic, or bricks for hands EJ you know that things ain’t goin well....we got to get healthy and wake the F up. I frankly want to see Springer and Johnson make this their team. No other alphas to be found on this soft squad

???? A couple of those guys you mentioned have to play some minutes. We finally get a great game from Pons, and we can’t slow them down. Fulky has to get more aggressive.

They’re the same ones who wanted Cuonzo Martin fired for underachieving.

It’s the same situation for Barnes now.

 

[Hbg]

Same clowns every game wanting to blame Vescovi while we watch terrible play from other guys on a consistent basis he calls good. Even the announcers said Vescovi has been rehabbing a hip injury.

If you watched this game and try to defend vescovi’s play you must be blind

 

[Giveem6]

Back to Back home losses where we didn't lead and weren't truly competitive...

UT athletics continuing to be UT athletics

Yea definitely not dumbass

 

[GTvols]

Fulky mentally looks like he's checked out for the season. Vescovi is not a PG (Bailey should be the point) as he has absoutely no time awareness or vision and keeps hurting himself with dribbling into double teams. 3rd loss w/o Springer.

 

[Hbg]

This game was over at the tip. Missouri wanted it more.[/QUOTE
I told my wife 3 mins in it was over, wasn’t hard to see

[SlyStone]

Good win from Coach Martin.

 

[Tshotdan]

Enjoy our #6 ranking while it's still there!

Hopefully, we can recover some of our shine tonight!

Vols 62-54

Lol

 

[RAVOL]

Europe their only option next year.
If the point guard play improves next year, these two could do a lot better for themselves by coming back

We will have an elite PG next year this team is really missing this piece this year Vescovi is a 2 guard spot up shooter.

“He” got us!?!? Oh really? You must not remember that season.

 

[Namorto1]

Several weeks ago there was a thread about who our most valuable player was. Clearly it is Springer. This squad looks like an entirely different team who has lost their identity.

 

[GBO18]

It makes no sense. Hopefully just a mid season funk.

 

[VolPack22]

This team seriously lacks a ball handler. Everyone acts like they’ve never dribbled or passed a ball in their lives. It’s a struggle just getting the ball across half court and even initiating the offense. That’s the biggest issue with this team in my eyes.

 

[calban]

We may be on a 4 game skid if we don't get Springer back next game. Not much offense without him.

 

[1985Vols]

Alert! If you’re a Vol fan I hope you have kept your cup on

 

[GBO18]

Confidence is a fickle thing.

 

[BalledUPfists]

No, it’s nothing like that at all. At ALL

 

[Hbg]

I repeat my question (Since you refused to answer the first time). Which one of the stellar Barnes post player recruits would you like to put in the place of Fulkerson?

You’re a gem, I’d play 4 on 5 before I left fulk in the game

 

[I4Vols]

Alert! If you’re a Vol fan I hope you have kept your cup on

I kept my cup full of bourbon
I still hurt

If I had it my way all those dudes wouldn’t see the floor period... wasted space , and complete liabilities... fine if Barnes has to play them now, but I will literally cringe when I see them in March
