[KTrain]

let me readjust get it to 4 b4 half no get it to 10 no get it to 15 no get at least half of what they have. DAMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

 

[Bryan1]

Might as well just get back on the bus here at the half.

 

[BernardKingGOAT]

That’s embarrassing. There was nobody down low with everyone at half court?!? Come on, Rick. Get after them in the locker room

Fire his ass!

 

[theroyz71]

They doubled us up in the first half.

 

[panhandlevol]

On to the NCAA. A lot of people wanted this

 

[tn4elvis]

Embarrassing

 

[sportsnut624]

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

Yep. If he doesn’t figure out quickly how to play against someone that doesn’t mind contact we are going home early

 

[RudyVol]

What is Knecht doing

 

[PKT_VOL]

Wow. Don't even bother coming out in the 2nd half.

What a horrendous last possession. Jesus.

 

[Col_Cathcart]

The guy you quoted is the worst of the worst. Every single game thread 20:1 ratio of post complaint about refs vs anything else.

The refs are swallowing whistles in this one. You’re crazy if you think getting hacked doesn’t have anything to do with the poor shooting.

 

[SlyStone]

Bulldogs are laying a blueprint to how to dominate the Vols. Give MSU Coach credit for having his team ready to play. They brought that work and our Vols weren't ready. Still another half to go. First 6 mins of the second half will be and indicator of this is going to go.

 

[rocketskates]

Tn was never going to be a 1 seed

If they won out I think they stood a good chance. This performance today definitely pissed it away though.

 

[RockyTop140]

It’s one thing to lose in the SEC tourney. It’s another to get absolutely dominated like this. Our team has no confidence. Somehow, Barnes has allowed Mississippi state to abuse us so bad that it actually affects our NCAA chances.

 

[Chris4Vols22]

Utterly outplayed and outcoached in the first half.

 

[05_never_again]

We've seen this team a few games this season.
DK usually bails them out

...meaning...we haven't had those cold streaks.

 

[FlVols]

This is a half of Sh.. damn boys did you come to play at all? Anybody come to play today?

 

[volmoon]

Worst half

 

[NOLACHUCKEYTOM]

Good thing we got that double bye!!

 

[vavolfan6]

Which other gane have we been down near 20 at half..maybe at Texas A&M..this is an udressing we haven't seen much before

 

[Lefteye]

LMAO

That's all

 

[UTfan94]

We can't do anything right now.

 

[BigOrangeFanatic]

After the effort they exerted to win the regular season outright to come out and play like this is maddening. Especially against a team that's already beat you once. This team has peaked.

 

[Vols All Day]

At one point MS had 4 fouls and we had 1. Now they have 5 and we have 7. Hmmmmm

MS is attacking the rack, the Vols are not. Tobe turned the ball over twice going away from the basket.

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

Every time Lofton is honored we play like crap... UK last year at home and just now at halftime.

 

[casetopia]

Guess we decided to be one and done and start preparing for the tournament. That's what I'm going with.
