With no inside game, no half court offense, and some pathetic transition defense, the 10-11 Tennessee Vols men’s basketball team is in a very bad state at this point. Rick Barnes’s team blew two significant second-half leads last week, by 15 vs Alabama and by 14 vs TCU, which made for two huge missed opportunities.
Now, they take their erratic three-point shooting and one-dimensional team into the brutal part of their schedule, and that starts with the Kentucky Wildcats and John Calipari coming to town Tuesday.
Normally, we would say this match-up could not come at a worse time for the Vols.
