The Official #8 Tennessee vs. #22 Auburn SEC Tournament Championship Game Thread, 1:00 PM ET, ESPN

[vavolfan6]

They aren't shooting anything exceptional. We are just playing about as terrible as any Tennessee team I've seen since the Wade Houston era.

they are shooting exceptional this half....?

 

[VolsSportsFan]

I mean, what can you say? it happens. If there’s anyone who DOESNT deserve this it’s some of the fans. Never seen a more fair weather bunch.

Dude, this is the worst performance I've seen in YEARS. YEARS, like Wade Houston.

There is no sugar coating this, we flat out sucked AZZ today and there is no excuse to play this badly with the championship on the line.

 

[Dougie_D]

Well when your opponent takes 15 plus more shots than you,..

 

[Voltopia]

Bruce is really good at one off "us against the world nobody believes in us we'll shock them all" games.

But really bad at hosting barbecues. And telling the truth.

 

[Dergibvol]

Hope were still a two seed after this terrible performance. Really didn't have anything left in the tank or any intensity after that Kentucky game have to regroup try to have a great NCAA tourney.

no way they drop to a 3. key now is to avoid duke

 

[chad954ut]

Why can't we win an SEC tournament. Just one. It's harder and harder to be a VOL fan.

 

[rocketskates]

Get to see ol Brucey boy smile as he cuts down the nets in our state

 

[VolsSportsFan]

No just on being a quiter

Are you talking about me or the team? Because they look like they quit about an hour ago.

 

[MWAVolfan]

Big fear of mine after this.

I don't care that they'll be more rested. This is a bad way to go into the tourney.

This isn't about rest. This is about killer instinct. This team should have blown the doors off Kentucky. This game shouldn't even be a game. Tennessee should walk away with it. This team constantly acts like it doesn't belong among the elites and the media has smelled it all year.

 

[hatingbamaisawayoflife]

2 championship opportunities against au and we lay egg both times

 

[ButchPlz]

Wouldn't matter, as we wouldn't make it far enough to play them anyway.

 

[A-RodWiLks]

Whatever seed we are, you can bet the committee will place Auburn in our region

 

[Dallasbowlin]

Dude, this is the worst performance I've seen in YEARS. YEARS, like Wade Houston.

And point blank. Thick and thin bro, thick and thin.

 

[Dergibvol]

yep. offensive rebounding and turnovers.

 

[casetopia]

well at least we know Grant will be back next year.

 

[GoBigOrangeUT]

I’m getting tired of the people on here defending this crap. It’s okay to say this is by far the worst we have looked in years. With all that is on the line this is utterly pathetic and disappointing. It doesn’t make us any less of fans to point out the obvious

 

[Jabruzar]

Where was the leadership we have seen all season? They folded like wet cardboard today.

 

[VolsFan-TX]

I'd rather have lost yesterday to get another day of rest these bums need it. Get them off the fricking court.

Not me. I would never give back a win against UK.

 

[golfballs]

Which performance was worse. This one or last year at Bama?

 

[JohnD13]

2nd time this year Pearl has out coached Barnes.

Right Barnes missed those easy shots and turned it oner. Got it

 

[VolunteerHillbilly]

Bruce Pearl is so ****ing annoying

If by annoying you means awesome, then yes.

 

[bjg]

Come on guys your better than this ............….you are killing yourself !!!!!!!!!!

 

[peerless98]

I mean, what can you say? it happens. If there’s anyone who DOESNT deserve this it’s some of the fans. Never seen a more fair weather bunch.

Exactly! We run into a red hot shooting team on a day where we play poorly, and some of you folks turn sour like a three day old diaper.

 

[ttocswob]

Comeback starts right here...

This.

It has nothing to do with being "fairweather". Yeah obviously drive bys are coming, but that doesn't change that this peformance is pathetic and inexcusible.
