The Official #8 Tennessee vs. #12 Kentucky Game Thread, 7:00 PM ET, ESPN

[87&91ALUM]

37-41 and we struggle offensively

 

[Grudenator]

Rick Barnes failure to recruit a stud post player has played into this for years

 

[Voltopia]

If they made the cover of Tenneseee’s 2025 season DVD a photo of a Tennessee defender jumping in the air past a three point shooter, I couldn’t argue with it.

If they even make DVDs anymore, I mean.

 

[Vol4lif3]

Man I hate ky so much

 

[Go47]

Lanier has 3 points. I think if he scores 15 and we defend the 3 better . . . We win.

 

[Anti-shunshinepumper]

Only way they win if we let them keep hitting those 3's

 

[FlVols]

Down by four we need a kick in the pants to get this game going I guess

 

[VolsSportsFan]

We can’t keep leaving 3 point shots wide open

 

[ColinS]

This has not been a good performance at all. Time to turn it on

 

[vol94]

Our 3 pointers . . .

Not when they are wide open. It’s like warm up last while we continue to build houses. KY not even contesting our threes.

 

[KnoxtotheBoro20]

Just still not playing defense

 

[Vols2015]

Stop shooting 3s and get to the paint and get some easy baskets.

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

13 to 4 to start the half and what a total momentum killer and arena sucks too... Move the students where they should be by now

 

[C-south]

Nice replay on the shot clock violation

 

[87&91ALUM]

We have no offense nor defense in the paint. Too many bricks.

 

[DooleyOrangePants]

I defend our crowd all the time but the fans at the Lady Vols game was longer than tonight.

My gosh- standup and freakin yell!

It’s the KY game. Season ticket holders show up for this one, hence a quiet arena. I hate I missed it, but I’m sure I’d be getting some stares and angry blue hairs for cheering.

 

[The Tall Gguy]

Our defense is offensive.

 

[VolCalls]

Meh. Most people won’t care unless it’s all you ever do

That three that bounced in clearly broke the plane of the backboard. I hope Danny White files a protest with the SEC office.

 

[GBO18]

ZZs 3 rims out UK makes a shot after a ball bouncing off the front rim. Too much luck involved.

 

[Volfreek94]

Why is our crowd so weak? Very disappointing.

 

[patrick]

Horrible shift.

UK shooting well.

Vols can’t throw it in the damn ocean.

Wish Barnes would pay more attn to offense. He absolutely loved that Auburn rock fight. .

Barnes is like well we stayed in the Auburn game due to defense so who gives a damn about offense.

 

[BreatheUT]

This game is hard to comment on. One minute we are leading, the next we go cold and fall behind.

 

[VolCalls]

Are we the worst 3-point shooting team in the nation?

Yes

 

[ukvols]

The goofy part is that our run was the inspired ZZ-less lineup, and now we're back to how the game started.

 

[Chaz-Vol]

These wide open 3s are the game. Vols have to scratch and claw anything on offense. UK just gets wide open 3s every other offensive possession
