The Official Tennessee vs. Vanderbilt Game Thread, 6:30 PM ET, SEC Network

[Lankykong]

we force too many passes in the paint. Our guards have got to develop a midrange jumpshot

Paint has been our most effective area this year, and we only have two players with a midrange game (and JJJ’s is still developing)

 

[KBVol]

Good to see Bowden hit some shots

No it’s not. Only encourages him to shoot more and that’s a bad thing.

 

[Lankykong]

Faulky should have double digits already. He is not dialed in.

That one was not really on him, he’s had a lot of bad passes to him. But I agree anyway, he’s missed some bunnies

That was terrible though

 

[Kicker82]

We should win this game but it does not make me feel good for the last 5 against good opponents.

 

[KBVol]

I know we have a very limited amount of talent on this team, but they just don’t remotely play like they’re well coached at all. Impossible to watch.

 

[wmcovol]

When your guards continue to get beat to the rim and you’re too damn stubborn to play a zone, you deserve to lose.

No way this team finishes above .500.

Honestly may be better for you to stop if you’re not enjoying it at all

Just because you are 7 feet tall doesn't give you a excuse to play basketball. Rick Barnes has recruited horribly the last 3 years. He knew he had and tgat is why he wanted out and was well on his way to Ucla. Steve Forbes at some point will be our next coach. Don't doubt that either.

This take is just plain ass stupid. I'll save this post and next year when we have a top 10 ball team with a cabinet full of experience and talent I'll make sure and repost this. Make sure you root for Forbes and ETSU when we are beating everyone too guy.

 

[MadcapLaughs]

Vols haven’t recovered from Fulky missing the lay up to start the game.

 

[ttocswob]

JJohnson for the tie!!!

 

[KBVol]

Wish we had a player as good as Saban Lee. Hell, we’ve let a fat, undersized kid nobody’s ever heard of set a career high in about 10 minutes of play. I’ll take him too.

 

[imw8n4u]

28 all at the half for those keeping score.

2-3 would be great, but could easily go 0-5

 

[TAD]

Fulky in a funk .......

 

[Kicker82]

Barnes is irate

 

[vader]

Coach Barnes spitting fire going into half

 

[TheMagnificantOne]

Deacon Barnes constantly throws players under the bus...why don’t he use that same energy on his coaching

No thanks. You’d think they’re like Bowden if they played for us

Edit: I probably would too, that sounded harsher than I meant to sound

 

[KBVol]

JJohnson for the tie!!!

Yay! We’re tied at home with the worst team in the conference. Yippeeee!

 

[Volfan2012]

Keep thinking were going to get better, but the offense is garbage. That was hard to watch some really terrible play.

You can’t have watched that half and tell me that the kids tried their hardest and played at their highest level on offense

 

[KBVol]

Yeah Rick, they’re “ridiculous” under your leadership chief.

 

[VOL 4 Life 83]

Can’t say I’m impressed with the play calls to close out halves the past few games. Barnes losing some of his brain cells with age or what?

 

[TheMagnificantOne]

They been playing like this majority of the year...at some point it has to fall on the coaching right?
