I love beating Kentucky cus when we beat them in football for the 36th time in 39 years they go “wait till basketball season” and then we kick their ass there too. And we’ve been the better basketball team for most of Barnes tenure as a whole.

I think Tennessee’s specifically mad cus we got swept by Kentucky last year even tho it was probably the biggest gap in talent in our favor in a long time.

Let’s say it together “I’m sorry triple J” “I’m sorry ZZ”

I stg the general consensus around this fanbase toward ZZ changes every week. Regardless of stats he has been a phenomenal point guard from day 1. He might not always drop 20-10 games but he contributes every game. But with JJJ I never wanted him to be benched like Santi cus of the same thing. even tho the stats weren’t there he just always felt like he was contributing in other ways. With Santi I didn’t feel that way. And with Santi i Essentially just wanted Barnes to bench him to prove he can. He’s a super senior been starting since his freshman season he feels comfy. Give him like 5 games off the bench and then bring him back up to the rotation unless something crazy happens like Maishack starts going off and Santi becomes 6MOTY which honestly I think is very possible. That’s part of it for me I think Maishack with more minutes could be way more consistent offensively and Santi’s game is perfect for a 6th man type🤷🏻‍♂️But with JJJ It’s one game. He’s gotta keep it going.

Ohio State alum in Knoxville here. I don’t connect to football team much but for some reason I can’t miss a baskets game. I guess because the Buckeyes suck. Good luck and I hope you get to final 4. Love this team.

Kentucky was favored? 🤣

I mean even in good seasons for us it’s usually a split so I get it.

As a VolunHeel, that was a fun pair of games for me to watch.

Hello fellow VolunHeel fan!

Best 2 things about this win: 1. UK fans can't say 'we played terrible and beat ourselves" ...... because they didn't play bad. 2. Big win when DK was held in check and the rest of the team stepped up.

We all know the best time to talk shit is once you put up a buck against the beast in their own cave Not when you're down 10 and playing like a duck with brainfreeze

Does anyone have that "WHY CANT WE BEAT THESE GUYS?!?" clip?

?

After this year's annual Kentucky beat down, the KSR guys went on a rant about Kensucky can't beat us.

Exactly, that one.

Oh yes! I watched that a few times lmao

What did it say? Tweet is gone

He posted the wrong score

Deleted

I knew he would, so: https://i.imgur.com/Q5vOPrE.jpeg

Nice catch

What’s wrong with it other than the wrong final score?

It’s just that Wes is soooo quick to post. Whether it’s a bad take, terrible joke, factually incorrect score. He’s way too online. And this is one of the funnier instances, since it’s us laying 103 @ Rupp. And he was sooo quick to post he got it wrong.

I love Wes. Honestly This stuff just makes it funnier. He’s legitimately a great writer when he’s got time to slow down and edit. My favorite beat reporter despite clowning on him for stuff like this

THIS...... this is why the national media says we have the ability to make a deep run. When everyone is on their game, we can be dangerous!

What a bounce back performance for Ziegler tonight. JJJ was unreal. If you would have told me we would have scored over 100 on Kentucky I would have thought Knecht scored 50

Rick Barnes owns Rupp

GO BACK TO THE MINES

What do you think the refs will talk about in the Kentucky locker room? “Sorry guys we tried to give it to you.”

Where is the ZZ post game floor interview like I saw for the Dook NC game?

Exactly 

FUCK EM

Kentucky really had a guy have an absolute career night and we still won by double digits LMAO

Dude shot 70% from the floor 6/8 from 3, and the still lost by 11. I hope this game broke their spirit

When was the last time we scored 100 pts under Barnes?

Pretty sure last year during the non conference

Against Penny’s Memphis I think.

at Memphis when Admiral went off? edit: that was the last time on the road but we did it in a couple buy games in 2020.

when was the last time we scored 100 at Rupp?

Imma guess never

ZZ!!! JJJ!!! GBO!!!

The Vol basketball social media team is about to pop off

Glad we managed to hit our FTs when we needed them

Yesssirrr! Y'all negavols can suck it! That was a satisfying win!!!!

Bro Coach Cal being ridiculous rn

One of the funniest things about this game to me is the difference in Attitude by the announcers. *Vescovi scores 11* “OMG HE’S BACK HE’S PUT THE SLUMP BEHIND HIM VESCOVI IS PUTTING THE VOLS ON HIS BACK. WHAT A LEADER.” *Knecht scores 16* “Rough game by Knecht. The Rest of the team is really having to pick up his slack to get this win. Really Low scoring game by him”😂😂😂

L

That Barnes Rupp stat is amazing. We're seeing the best, guys!

Fouling down 9 with 10 seconds left lmao

done put a long wheelbase 10 on these mfs.

Crew cab long wheel base no lowballs or tire kicking I know what I got!

I am one happy man

Happy Cake Day! Go Vols!

Cal really can't just let this go huh

100+ WE GOT TACOS *clap clap clap clap clap*

just take the fucking loss oh my God you losers

Go for 200.

Why are they still fouling? Its finally over

lol fuck off Kentucky

Holy shit there’s 10 seconds left and you’re down 9. STOP FOULING

Well with all that damn fouling. We got a hundred!

Sore losers can’t take their L with class

What a bunch of losers still fouling

100 points in Rupp? Damn, that'll make me hard for 4+ hours.

Props to Aidoo for a smart play because I’m sure he wanted to slam a dunk.

Cal could've prevented the 100 burger but chose not too. Fouled out his best player in the process

Waiting for u/wizard_of_foz1 to publish the post game thread 😁😁😁

No clue why u worship this guy's shit takes. He don't even live here and he roots for multiple teams. He's not even a true vol.

“Not a true vol”… yet he watches every game. Damn, the bar is pretty damn high to be a true vol. This is Reddit, 90% of the takes are shit

He looks at the box score. You have no clue if he watches every game lmao. And yes, most takes are shit. Including his.

This is a laughably bad take my guy. I went to, and graduated from Tennessee but am not a true Vol. I’ll never understand what I did to you - if me enjoying New Jersey, my home state, eats at you so badly then I don’t know what to tell you. But feel free to take to my DMs if you wanna take more about my shit takes.

Why do u care so "my guy" much what I think lol. I def don't need to dm u. I'm just saying it takes suck

Not your best sentence but that’s okay. Just not sure how I’m not a true Vol - was hoping for some sort of explanation, oh well. Hope you have a great night - excited to read more of your comments in the future.

same. cant wait to see some more great "takes"! DM me with any questions ;)

The good: Yes

Ok keep fouling

RIP if you had the under ☠️

We did it! 🎉🎊🍾 happy C-note my homies

So nice of Kentucky to applaud Dillingham for helping us get 100 tonight

Moving screen on Vescovi

The Awful: Commercials and Commentary 

Stop fouling omg

hundo hundo hundo

Dillingham is a straight baller GG but hahahaha Kensucky can get fucked

Man that totally sucks this win doesn’t count since Kentucky wasn’t healthy 

UK fans gonna say Reeves just happened to have a bad game like DK didn’t and Dham didn’t go nuclear

GIVE ME 100 POINTS YOU FUCKING COWARDS

BRO I WANT TO GO TO BED HERE

Can't wait to read the post game thread 

This will never end

Nice free time out there for Kensucky

Those kentucky fans better get out of there, that coal mine shift starts early

Maybe they let us get to 100 lol

At this rate if we keep inbounding to Knecht he might extend his 25 point streak

Rupp is emptying fast lmao

drop 100 on these dorks for dragging the game out.

Yeaaa go Vols!!!

Dillingham has a silly jumper but shit he’s a hell of a scorer

It's the feet kick out after his shot that gets me.

That's a 2, but he flails around more than John Fulkerson when he was a freshman.

Dillingham would look good in orange

Damn. WTF is going on. We need to stop one guy! And hit our free throws.

That's a fucking WAAAAAAAALK

Rob Dillingham, hats off. Kid is a dog

They just keep prolonging the loss

This kid…geebus

“LeAd DoWn To EiGhT” Stfu

So many reviews

Thank god that’s a 2. This dude is making everything.

I hate saying anything nice about KenSucky but Dillingham jfc

Come on man…can this guy fucking miss?

Dillingham is insane

That dude is money from 3

Holy crap

When do you accept the loss here, Cats?

I mean. With how bad our free throw shooting has been during this stretch I say make us get to a three possession lead under 10 seconds.

Yeah, never say never I guess. May help us get to 100.

Calipari really wants us to hang 100 in Rupp tonight doesn't he?

Kentucky really dragging out this L

More like Kensucky 😂😂

Keep fouling Kentucky!

can we get a screenshot of the ut fan talking to his wife

I can’t wait to see the captions on the inevitable gif of that guy explaining our W to the lady with the thousand yard stare straight ahead.

Explaining how coal is not the best form of energy.

😂 love it

I had the exact same thought lmao

That guy *definitely* isn't getting any tonight

Is this mfer jumping on his FTs??

Please drop 100 on these fucks

oh here we go “they weren’t healthy tonight”

Dude is gonna have a blue tongue tonight as much as he's been sucking them off.

let’s hit 100!

Fall over=foul

Why are we fouling. Can we end this

These last 40 seconds are gonna last 15 minutes

Ok by me

My guy rizzing up a chubby KY girl lol
