KY vs UT

[SC Manimal]

Good guys finished out the half. I'm starting to join you guys though and get pretty worried about our offense. I know the defenses have been MUCH better but our guys are missing more and more open looks. I'll eat a little crow for this one because i believe y'all were right.

I love zz but our offense is just bad. And really besides Dalton last year our offense would be awful to. Rick Barnes I like but man he need to figure out the offense.

Heck of a game. I thought we were toast without our PG and Carr.

Cats made it too close. Too many unforced turnovers have hurt them in close games

This is the worst offensive team that we've had since the Wade Houston days.

To even have a chance was amazing.

FL will beat us by 30 again on Saturday.

 

[SC Manimal]

Yeah I love Barnes but I blame him here. Allowing your boys to jack 45 3 pointers when you're shooting less than 25%. Igor and Phillips consistently behind the line with no one in the paint? Come on.

For as good as Neyland atmosphere is, and for that matter as good as Lindsey Nelson is given its size, the atmosphere in TBA can be disappointing and tonight was pitiful. My brother was at the game and he text us about it in the family group text as soon as it ended.
I get it's hard to be loud when you throw up enough bricks to build a new arena, but there were several times in the second half where UT would try and make a run and the crowd was just flat.
I can't believe it was that close given that shooting performance. Only positive takeaway is I was afraid ZZ had messed that knee up bad. I think it bothered him the second half but hopefully it's nothing that will linger.

Heck, I was thinking UK was not playing to win but not to lose. too many times they just stood there and watched the other team hustle.

Saw it in Barns eyes. Just may call it quits this year.

A good friend of mine was texting me during the game. He's a big TN fan. He said he's been hearing Barnes is retiring after this year and leaving with Ziegler. Not sure if that's true. I think he's 73 so it would make sense. He's done a lot of good for TN bball and the program will miss him when he decides to go.

Can I safety call Tennessee Decent now without taking Heat?

That's exactly what I thought when they zoomed in on him.

Yes sir you can as far as I'm in on it.

From hearing his interviews it sounds that way to me. May be unpopular. But imo we should write Bruce pearl what ever check he wants. He help put is on the map let hom finish it.

Vols 11-45 on 3s. Multiple times vols had 3 shots with offensive rebounds and still missed. Vols could have won this one but going dry for over 3min with under 10min left in the game, then brick brick brick. ZZ drives on the basket are great when he gets a step on his defender and the paint clear, but not so much when he dont get the step and bigs in the paint. I though there were alot of spectators in this game wearing orange on the court.

That guy is a happy as a pig in mud. I think he still doesn't believe he did anything wrong here either. He might be the best MCBB coach right now he just had liabeetes.

Lanier is scared of big games and competition. Without another offensive option we are in trouble.

I heard John Calipari would be looking for another job next year. He would fit UT like a glove!!

 

[Gravey]

Didn't see it but good win for Kentucky on the road. Looks like UT attempted 40+ shots from 3 and didn't hit many. That won't win you ballgames. Oh well baseball kicks off in 3 weeks. ️
