The Official Tennessee @ #3 Kansas Game Thread, 4:00 PM ET, ESPN

[MoCo_Vol]

Damn good effort, I like the growth this team is making.

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

Refs protected KU JUST like big 12 did Thursday. Screw them

 

[BisonVol]

I didn't think we'd be in the game to begin with, so credit to our guys, but the outcome of this game was determined before it ever tipped off. Refs weren't going to let Kansas lose IMO

 

[RAVOL]

Losses like these hurt so much more than losing by 40. Watch the entire game only to have your heart ripped out at the end.

What?

 

[golfballs]

Good game

 

[charleyhorse]

Kansas is good at hand checking, good thing they don’t play in the SEC, they’d have 8 players foul out every game!
GBO!!

That's why the go early in NCAA

 

[VolsSportsFan]

Good lord how many times are we going to play KU tough but not beat them? I mean it's understandable why we lost this one but geez.

 

[VFL1127]

Bukie should have fouled out Midway through the 2nd half. I honestly can't believe the refs called that foul on fulky when bukie had been doing it the entire game with much more force. Fulkerson barely touched the guy!!

 

[vol4eva]

Just not enough talent yet to win these games.

 

[Lankykong]

Not upset at all. Played our asses off and I’ll appreciate that every time. Didn’t execute down the stretch but that’s basketball

Only mad about officiating towards Azabuike. Rest of game was called fairly

And agreed, we played fairly well

 

[SECVolFan]

Asabuike should have been gone 10 minutes ago

He should have been gone in the 1st half!

 

[Dallasbowlin]

No moral victories, but I’m proud of how the team played. We had no business being that close. Kudos to fulk that boy played hard. Pons too.

 

[allvol123]

Good job making sure azubuike did not foul out. Great job zebras.

 

[BigOrangeAl 1979]

Will not make the big dance this season but good effort today

 

[ScottyP5]

Yah, I mean I’m not trying to trash him.

I’m kidding, I feel you

 

[VolFreakJosh]

The effort was good.

Just couldn’t overcome the officiating on the Blue Blood’s home floor.

 

[orange plasma]

Needed to tie it up with Azubuike on the bench, unfortunately.

No way they were gonna call the 5th foul on that bastard although he committed an additional half dozen the last 5 minutes.

 

[amaralfan1]

If they just called it both ways on Azabuki, the Vols win that game. It sucks, but we played much better against one of the top teams in the country. Barnes has them playing much better.

 

[Lankykong]

We can only hope but Kansas's tallest player but Buke is out is 6'6". Two players out. Didn't take full advantage. I'm not sure how much we celebrate this loss.

I’m telling you, if you were able to see the first half you would be as furious about the Azabuike garbage as the rest of us

 

[JCP201]

I love Peyton, but we always lose when he comes to a game. Good team effort by the Vols. I saw Azubuike fouling several times at the end with no call, but it's hard to beat Kansas at home.

 

[vols 30]

Just not enough talent yet to win these games.

The time is coming

 

[RAVOL]

If Pons and Bowden can give us this offense the rest of year we will make tournament. Big if.

 

[ndubvols]

Play of the game was the foul call on Fulky when it should’ve been Azabuke’s 5th on the illegal screen. You know it’s bad when Bilas is calling out the refs in favor of the blue bloods

 

[Sudden Impact]

Tired of losing to TEAMS that CHEAT.......

 

[rocketskates]

Atrocious officiating. That was not a foul on Fulk near the end and that WAS a foul on Azabouki against Fulk on the out of bounds play. The officials did their job, have a cookie from the NCAA fellas.
