This one is gonna come down to how well we play early and how well our guards defend. LSU will quit if you bury them, so I'd love to see us get out and beat them in transition in the first 10-12 minutes. Vols by 10+

 

[VolPack22]

If we get the chance I hope we embarrass them. I think I dislike their program more than any other in the SEC because of Will Wade.

 

[Border Vol]

I think the BasketVols come away with a 80-75 win over LSU raising their record to 15-4 and 8-4 in the SEC.

I'll take it! Although a decisive 15 point win with Keon/Spring building on their big-time run would be great!

This is a game that looked like a sure L just a week or two ago... hopefully we can ride the freshman momentum, tough place for us to play historically

 

[OrangeBeachVol]

Will Wade cries and complains about calls on his guys more than anyone I have ever seen. He thinks his guys never foul. Be sure to watch is comical antics tomorrow. Hope Pons can play.

It looks like the game was originally scheduled on ESPN2 but has been moved to ESPN.

It’s a toss-up between him and Cal.

LSU has always given Tennessee fits whether it is in Baton Rouge or Knoxville.

 

[HippieVol33]

I think we lose this one. Not sure by how much but I don’t really see us beating LSU. As much as a win over Will Wade would warm my heart.

Yup same with Auburn... can’t explain in other than they cheats...

LSU & Auburn seem to have our number. They both have good guards. If they press us early this could get ugly. SV is not capable of beating a press, he panics, goes in the air, and has no place to go. Hope their practicing against it today. Would love to get this win.

Oh no - more Dickie V

Oh no - more Dickie V

The only good news on that is I already can recite what he is going to yammer about... and none of it is about the game.

“Karl Ravech and Jimmy Dykes on the call”

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

BATON ROUGE – The battle for seeding in both an upcoming Southeastern Conference tournament and an NCAA Tournament puts the spotlight here Saturday as LSU and No. 16 Tennessee battle at 1 p.m. in the Pete Maravich Assembly Center.

The Tigers and the Volunteers are both 7-4 in the league standings, part of a three-way tie for second with Arkansas.

The game will be broadcast on ESPN with Karl Ravech and Jimmy Dykes on the call. The Voice of the Tigers, Chris Blair, and former LSU head coach John Brady will be on the call for the affiliates of the LSU Sports Radio Network (Baton Rouge flagship for Guaranty Media, Eagle98.1 FM).

Coach Brady's 2006 NCAA Final Four team will be honored at halftime in a virtual video presentation to celebrate 15 years since a mostly homegrown Tigers team won NCAA games over Iona, Texas A&M, Duke and Texas.

LSU is 12-6 on the season while Tennessee is 14-4 overall. LSU was a 94-80 winner on the road at Mississippi State on Wednesday night, while Tennessee was a winner against Georgia, 89-81.

LSU showed the offensive balance against State that the Tigers have shown when it has been successful this season.

Cameron Thomas led LSU with 25 points with Javonte Smart adding 22 points and 11 assists. Darius Days returned after an ankle injury, scoring 16 points with 11 rebounds and Trendon Watfordscored 14.

The Tigers shot 61.3 percent from the floor, making 38-of-62 field goal attempts. It was the fourth time in the Coach Will Wade tenure that the Tigers shot 60 percent or more from the field. It was LSU's highest percentage in a road game since the John Bradycoached Tigers shot 62.0% at Ole Miss on Feb. 15, 2000.

LSU took advantage of 15 Mississippi State turnovers in the game, getting 26 points off turnovers, compared to three for the Bulldogs off seven LSU miscues.
Coach Wade did say in his Friday media session that Mwani Wilkinson is scheduled to be back for the Tennessee game after missing Wednesday's game for LSU with the (non-COVID-19) flu. Shareef O'Nealwill miss the game because of his lingering foot problems.

Thanks for the update on the LSU Radio network. I can rest easy now

Most important game left on UT's schedule, imo, and no game I want to win more than this one. LSU is a bad match-up for UT, it's in Baton Rouge and they have owned us, recently. A win tomorrow would be mad impressive and would really mean, UT has turned the corner, offensively, imo. Because, to beat LSU, we have to score, a lot

I am just not as nervous about this game as many. I feel good about it

I hope u are right, because I want revenge, at least for the last 2 losses

 

[The Dog]

Plus, I hate that cheating ba$t@rd, Wade

 

[orangemadam]

Better hope our defensive A game is here, otherwise it will be an ugly loss.

UT 68

LSU 66

 

[Mose Phillip's Watch]

Hate to say it but we will lose by 15 or 20. Horrid match up for us. Hope I'm wrong but I'm 80%+ certain we will get crushed. They just have better athletes then we do.

Please no Vescovi anymore
