I don't know why I'm disappointed!

[PalsPal]

I fully expected Auburn to get hot and make a run and win the game. But to get up 17, and then collapse and give it ALL back in 4-5 minutes?

Oh well, hurry up turkey season!

 

[Displaced_Vol]

Preach

The next timeout that Barnes calls to try to stop the opposing team's "run" will be his first.

I like Barnes and admire his coaching and development of players. But, I am not a fan of his in game coaching.

The title, "I don't know why I'm disappointed!" seems like an underhanded pitch.... :D

Haha I actually laughed out loud at that one-
Especially this year, with a team this inexperienced and a point guard who's been here 15 minutes, you gotta stop that onslaught at some point and talk them through it. The bunch last year had enough to figure it out on the court, this group not so much.

Agree! I don't understand why he covets TOs until it's too late! :bash:

 

[PalsPal]

Sooo, what's your goto turkey call :D ?

Atleast they can beat 18florida :tu:

Not been a good year, but I love watching fulkerson play don't think many play as hard as he does every single game.

Thought we were going to blow it again.

Fulkerson is sneaky good. He looks goofy and uncoordinated, but he can put the ball in the basket.

This was the first thing I thought of today when he called that TO when they pulled it to within 13, haha.

Guess rather or not it helped is debatable as they came all the way back but I laughed out loud watching the game.
Doesn't matter much but it is always good to beat the gators.

Truth on all counts.

You were saying... :moon: :tu:

I didn't see any of it but can't figure this team out. Jekyl and Hyde!!!

 

[THEdonkey0515]

Didn't realize that was 4 wins in a row against UF

 

[gator-n-buck]

Like the OP stated.... "Oh well, hurry up turkey season!" or football season.... :rotf:

 

[buckaroo]

Yep football season!

 

[gator-n-buck]

Yep football season!

Or college baseball season.... :D

 

[THEdonkey0515]

Amazing game.

Down 17 on the road against a top 6 KY team! Fulkerson played his heart out looked like the best player on the floor all night.

Back to back wins over top 20 teams. Go vols

 

[Gravey]

Phenomenal win on the road at Rupp. Fulkerson was a beast. This team still confuses me but GBO!!!

He was an absolute beast out there tonight! Great win

 

[Displaced_Vol]

That was fun.
Doesn't make a lick of sense, but boy was it fun. Living where I live it is always extra sweet to get one from the cats.
Fulkerson is obviously the headline but how about James showing up in the toughest place to play in the SEC? Good for all of them and while I still think our ncaa hopes are slim at best, really proud of them finishing strong like this.

 

[THEdonkey0515]

Dude is a warrior got hit in the gut almost doubled over took multiple shots to the face and nose played almost the entire game full speed never got upset or lost his cool. And put up a career high in points against one of the Best teams in college basketball Should of had 30.

Barnes at half "most frustrating thing is Flukly is getting fouled on every single possession"

Cal at half time " fulkerson is scoring at will"

Put those two comments together tells you how hard he played.

 

[encore06]

Hats off to the Vols. Took the Cats to the woodshed and made them look like kitties in the 2nd half. Dont know why KY guards continued to drive in the paint in the 2nd half when it was obvious TN was going to jam the paint and make it extremely difficult. Just run some movements and shoot jumpers. Fulkerson and Pons were the difference makers for TN. IMO, Vols needs to get rid of Barnes....he's too good of a coach.

7 wins against KY and Cal ..... 2 at Rupp

Barnes teams don't fear the cats at all.

Shut Up!!! :lol:

 

[cardia10]

It almost bothers me to see how well they played after watching them collapse down the stretch at so many games. What could have been this year...

 

[PalsPal]

I did not get to watch as we were in Knoxville with a friend whose son had undergone brain surgery after their house was destroyed in the Cookeville tornado. But I did catch the last 3-4 minutes on the radio as we were driving back.

I could not believe that we had came back from down 17. I mean, I thought we had the trademark on folding while up 17 :D !

I may have to try to find it on the ESPN app to watch it.

Also, it sounds like the light might be coming on for James.

Do I dare think about the possibility of beating Auburn, and getting a couple in the SEC tourney to get us in the dance? Naah, not yet!

How is he doing?

 

[PalsPal]

I forgot to include that. Thanks for asking. He is doing remarkedly well, considering. They were able to remove his breathing tube earlier today and he was able to speak and also to respond to instruction like move this foot, squeeze hand etc.

Still has a long hospital stay in front of him but he's lucky to be alive.

[TreyB]

Bad situation but glad he is responding and breathing on his own. Prayers for him

 

[Displaced_Vol]

Well today's game really sucked. Like somebody else said, Jekyl & Hyde.
Maybe we'll make some noise in Nashville.

Edited to add: I know the whole deal about ifs & buts... BUT, can you imagine what this team would have been with Williams & Bone on it...
