The Official Tennessee vs. Texas A&M Game Thread, 6:30 PM ET, SEC Network

[Switch 625]

This team needs to find some toughness; mental and physical.

 

[hUTch2002]

I only got to watch the last 3 minutes but A&M got a prayer then got a BS foul call on Fulkerson and that was it. What a crappy performance after a good performance at Kansas. Pitiful. Oh well. As always being a UT fan, just wait until next year.

 

[Roustabout]

No we didn’t. If we were A&M everyone would say we deserve to lose. Refs stole this one

Huh? Did you look at the rebounds?

 

[Dallasbowlin]

Our 7’1” is garbage right now

He’s still 7’1” he may not get every rebound but he can atleast use his length/ height to prevent the other team. It’s not like playing him would’ve won us the game though.

 

[Mightyvol]

The poor refereeing is making these games unwatchable.

 

[TheMagnificantOne]

Terrible rebounding, shooting, passing, effort....awful on all counts.

Terrible coaching

 

[Lankykong]

Look at the rebounds clowns and stop blaming the refs. Weak

Maybe they would have less rebounds if the refs called walks, pushoffs, over the backs, etc. Guys would have actually fouled out of the game. Keep pretending that tackling/shoving Fulk and Pons when they go for rebounds has no impact on his ability to get them

 

[turnuptheVOLtage]

We are so bad.. unwatchable haha. Next year...

 

[CAVPUT]

Good grief Charlie Brown...

Lucy says "hi". It's such a UT game.

 

[The Dog]

Effing embarrassing. Promise u won't hear any more NCAA Tournament talk from me.

 

[BisonVol]

A loss at home to one of the worst teams in the league.

You don't recover from that

Yep. Looking at A&M's schedule, they'll win no more than two conference games after tonight IMO. They're a horrific excuse for an SEC basketball team, and they've come into our house and absolutely owned us physically. This is the kind of loss that takes you off the bubble permanently barring a flurry of big wins down the stretch.

 

[vols 30]

Can't wait for the upgrade in talent next year

 

[KBVol]

No, you add 10 fouls to them, then we win easily and it doesn’t look bad at all

What? Refs didn’t cost us this game. Our lack of effort and toughness rebounding the ball did. This was all on Tennessee.

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

Barnes you better do something homie

 

[VolsSportsFan]

Did you watch the game? Refs stole this one. Worst officiated game since UK last year, maybe even worse

Dude, you can't be blaming the refs in a home loss against a team like TAMU, where they straight up destroyed us on the glass.

 

[NO SIR EEE]

Vescovi is god awful

 

[Lankykong]

If you played like you wanted it in the first half, none of this would've mattered

Um yeah it would have. Did you watch the second half? It was atrocious, they would have just called more fouls on us

 

[vader]

Rick Barnes just took a charge from the official lol

 

[1985Vols]

Did you just see the ref, Mike Nance, bump Barnes shoulder as he walked by him? Wow!

 

[TooLegit2Quit]

Pathetic performance, we deserved to lose. Wild they didn't throw in Plasvic, I suppose that says a lot.

 

[brubaker]

Lets face it - we are just a very mediocre team

 

[tmack50]

Plain and simple. We didn't match A&M's intensity. No one wants to lead.

 

[JCP201]

Our rebounds are terrible, but these refs are enjoying making the game about them.

 

[JonGrudensAgent]

Soft team that can't rebound +the worst home court "advantage" in the league=a backbreaking loss.

 

[KBVol]

Wtf did Jaylen Johnson do there? WTH was that?
