Just imagine if Arkansas would have had their A game today. I wanted to melt because we let the Vols lead us at home for 38 minutes. Vols should have gotten beat down today, but we barely escaped with a come from behind win. You guys have a good team, but let's not act like Tennessee is some sort of elite BB program. You compare better to Mizzou than you do Arkansas.

massive second half leads.
9 points is not a lot against Arkansas in Bud Walton, as you found out.

This and you thinking Tennessee is some blue blood has me rolling. Only reason you had a lead was the refs let you take 4 steps all day.

Programs have nothing to do with this. The two teams are very close to equal this season by any metric you want to use and Tennessee played better for most of the game today. Neither team is beating the other on the road if the other one is playing their A game.

Tennessee missed a big opportunity today because they had a very bad 3 minutes stretch to close the game out.

How do you figure that Tennessee should’ve gotten beaten down today? That makes no sense.

The refs were big VOLS fans fouling our best player out of the game on two questionable calls, one totally phantom.

When you have a clear unfair advantage, yes it is.

Arkansas shot 9 percent better from the floor. Tennessee hitting bankshots and Arkansas missing FT's is what even kept this game close.

I do not think this Tennessee team will have much success going forward. They are a good team on paper but I see losses at Ole Miss, Vandy, etc. coming.

We will see who’s right but what happened today has really soured me on this team.

You really think the heat needs to be turned up on the best coach a program like UT could ever imagine having? Seriously?

You are Tenn..you aren't a basketball powerhouse. Stop acting like you think you deserve to be. He's doing as good a job as possible at that average arse program.

Who we are is of little relevance. If Prick insists on not even leaving Knoxville to recruit, his arse better start closing out games

You lost to a ranked team by 2 on the road. Shut up. The fact that he got you ranked is a miracle in itself.

Just stick to women’s b-ball...only thing UT is relevant in...oh wait...are they even good at that anymore? Maybe it’s softball? I always get my Tennessee women’s sports mixed up

He has been okay overall but he’s done a very poor job in late and close situations. Did not realize I don’t have the right to criticize him when I travel all over the country to watch his teams melt down.

I am not one who will clap for my team leaving the floor after they vomit all over themselves. If you are, great. You’re probably a better person than me.

Tennessee may not be UNC or Kentucky but expecting to be able to close out games like today is not too much to ask for.
