Official Game Thread - SECT: Friday, 1pm (ESPN) vs. MSU

[OrangeTsar]

What the absolute heck? Just tuned in

 

[VolunteerVandiver]

DK just blatantly got hacked 3 times. No call. That one was bad.

Gotta respond. We used to be right at home in these slugfests... Looking soft right now

 

[theroyz71]

Good thing we have seniors who will rise to the occassion in these situations

Lol

 

[tnvols72]

Kiss that number one seed goodbye

Tn was never going to be a 1 seed

 

[igotworms]

Don’t deserve it.

Why want it?

 

[GBO18]

Well, at least we’re doing a good job of… Sorry I can’t remember what I was going to say.

Rebounding.

 

[Bryan1]

How have they only called 5 fouls? State is committing assault out there

And the refs lettin do it, so why not?

 

[Putbacks]

Highlight reel on no-calls

 

[Clad in Big Orange]

Softest team in the NCAA.

Maybe not in the NCAA, but that is our problem. This is a total finesse team.

 

[VolsAgainstTheWorld15]

Not that it’s the main issue, but they are absolutely allowing State to be twice as physical as us. Seems like that’s always the case, not just against us. But basketball in general, refs seems to allow the team that comes out more physical to get away with way more.

For sure. Not the refs fault we can’t throw one in the ocean, but the reason DK has been a non factor isn’t solely because MSU is playing great, clean defense. He’s getting bumped and grabbed all over the floor.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

You're talking to a brick wall. It's comical how much he complains and completely ignores our trash play.

I am dumbrounded at how much whining about the refs is going on....we look like absolute DOG S***. The refs have zero to do with this. Zero.

 

[landscapingvol]

Aidoo is a liability on offense again today.

Edit: But a good defense rebound!

Aidoo isn't a liability on offense, the usual suspects are who provide nothing offensively nearly every game at the guard positions

 

[Switch 625]

How is no one open when they triple team DK?

 

[GoVols9800]

That's the problem with this team. Way too many ice cold streaks. You can't win a championship and be ice cold every other game. Not very excited about the tournament after the last two awful games.

Every other game. How did we get to 24-7?

 

[PKT_VOL]

Our big men need to grow the F up and start finishing around the rim.

Been a huge problem all year. They are so soft.

If they can't play in open space with finesse, they just fall apart.

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

What a moron foul

 

[PKT_VOL]

How is no one open when they triple team DK?

Bad spacing.

 

[Putbacks]

That’s the contact that is getting ignored on the other end

 

[JoeMiltonsAgent]

Holy freaking **** Aidoo cannot hold on to the basketball game. It’s awful!!!! The moment we pass it to him he gets absolutely out-played by the MSU bigs.

He cannot handle physical play. Anyone bodies him and its been getting in his head the last several games at least.

 

[Cdywolfe]

Lol

 

[Delmar]

How have they only called 5 fouls? State is committing assault out there

That is ludicrous.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

For sure. Not the refs fault we can’t throw one in the ocean, but the reason DK has been a non factor isn’t solely because MSU is playing great, clean defense. He’s getting bumped and grabbed all over the floor.

Yeah but becaues we're now a 1 player team, that speaks volumes about how we are. People were complaining that we were being called a 1 player show and looks like that's exactly what we are now.

 

[Redleg68]

Tn needs to go to a zone and force Ms State shots out

 

[Volswin98]

That sums up the first half

 

[vavolfan6]

I'm disgusted...
