Vols vs Wildcats

[cbhunter]

Statistical tidbit of the day: Wildcats are 3-4 against Barnes Volunteer teams. :tu:

I expect a great game and Saturday cant get here soon enough! :party:

Another season sweep of KY would be huge. :super:

I think last I saw, they had UK at -4 probably because its at RUPP. I expect a great game. Go Vols

Yes, they have the edge at home and rightfully so. Could easily go either way.

Cal has never lost back-to-back games at home.... Will be interesting. I already have a cold drink on Ky.... :mrgreen:

I wouldn't touch that line... Should be a good game.

Official line won't come out until Friday. That was an early "prediction" from several days ago, which also had a prediction of TN -4 in Knoxville.

I'd say that will swing in the other direction Friday ;) .

People who bet on bball games have a serious addiction. There are just too many variables involved.

These seniors have a 4-3 record against Kentucky, seniors against freshman I say Vols drill them, but the cat refs will keep it close

Right on with the cats refs will keep in close.

2 fouls called on KY all of the first half right?

 

[PalsPal]

Both of my worries have come to fruition. KY is shooting very well and the Rupperees. If both continue, we have no shot. If KY cools off, then maybe. The other will not change.

 

[Grandslam11]

Vols are playing soft and KY is wanting it more right now. Lucky they aren't down by more than 6 at the half

Espn:This is the most physical game we've seen all year.
Also ESPN:Only 2 fouls called on Kentucky.

It was obvious to all who watched but you gotta give KY players for credit for their intensity and hitting shots. When they realized the refs had forgotten their whistles, it just made them more aggressive as they should do.

This loss will wake us up, just as the LSU did for them.

Can't wait until the game in Knoxville.

Hey I think I heard from several of you during football season that "even with Ky's best team ever they still couldn't beat Tn"... Now that it's basketball season I can say that even with Tn's best team ever they still couldn't beat Ky!!!!!

In all honestly TN came in startled. They were feeling the pressure of possibly losing their #1 spot if they got beat by Ky. And it happened. Sometimes a loss is a good thing. They'll regroup from this and learn and come looking for revenge when we face y'all at home in a few weeks.

I'm just glad I'm not having to hear folks cry about the refs. My night is made.

I watched the entire game. The Vols couldn't have put a grape in the ocean! Once Kentucky realized that the refs weren't going to call a foul they played very very physical. I don't blame them for doing so. In a game like that, of that magnitude, the refs should have allowed both teams to play physical. I mean even the ESPN crew said a few things about the fouls being called. Hopefully this is a wake up call for the Vols. They need to get back to playing defense with high intensity. I hope when the cats come to Knoxville the Vols show up to play.

Best part about this game is I was sitting in a hot tub at a cabin in the mountains and watching it through the window not having to listen to Jay Bilas commentating. Congrats to Kentucky. They shot lights out and wanted it more.

Some Vol fans be like..... whew thank god we lost! Needed that one. :rotf: :poke: :tu:

I don't think that they needed a lost like that? They got beat in every aspect of the game and Ky is a much younger team.

I know... I would never want a loss or think it's a good thing to get beat ANYTIME.

But that's just me

You have to play great basketball to reach number 1. You have to play great basketball to stay there. Tn didn't. Ky did and did so in every aspect of the game. They deserved the win. I'm betting their next game in a couple of weeks won't be as easy.

Kinda funny, I was talking to my buddy Saturday before the game. He is a HUGE KY fan and hates everything about TN from a sports standpoint.
He said KY really needed to lose Saturday to wake them up or when they get to the tournament (SEC tournament I think he meant) they will get their butts handed to them because they will think nobody there can beat them.

We done took our losses for the year. Whew we don't need anymore :D...

RUGER when you said "He is a huge KY fan and hates everything about TN" I had to think back if you and I had talked over the weekend :D..

Round 2!

Don't think KY will shoot as good as they did last game, but it may not matter if we don't play tougher.

Not sure what was wrong with Washington in the ARK game, but I hope it continues.

Did you watch us last night agaist Ole Miss? Going to be a long Saturday.

No, was at Bible study, and forgot to set the DVR. Did listen to final 3-4 minutes though. BTW, Bert is awesome to listen to in a close game or when the refs are ripping us (seems like all of them) :D !

The only thing that gives me a glimmer of hope is that KY almost lost to Arkansas at home on Tuesday. But, I'm sure that was a trap game.

Nice back to back wins for the vols over good teams.
