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

[teeball]

Why are we playing our worst basketball now? wtf

Simple ... it's March.

 

[Caz]

Embarrassing

Damn sure is

 

[Delmar]

Like I said earlier. Pretty obvious we are coasting after winning the conference and State seems to want it worse. 20% from the field and 9 TO’s ain’t beating anybody.

 

[theroyz71]

No inside presence at all today.

 

[VolsAgainstTheWorld15]

For all the good it would do me, I feel like cussing up a storm, throwing my remote all over the house, and throwing up. Just such a frustrating half. Very disappointing to be completely out of the game at halftime. Doesn’t feel like even a great second half would be enough to erase a deficit this big.

 

[Just a VolinTears]

I think we'll come back and win.

 

[tnvols72]

No shooters and Fts will be the reason Tn gets sent home in March

 

[JoeMiltonsAgent]

Assuming the Vols hang onto a 2 seed, I think we can expect to add to those 11 15 seeds that have won in the big dance.

This is pathetic.

 

[SlyStone]

Take Aidoos ass out and at least try Estrella

Nope, Estrella ain't ready for that kinda work the Bulldogs are bringing.

 

[BP4Prez]

This game is meaningless. Teams don’t care about these conference tourneys unless on the bubble. Changes nothing. Get this stinker out of the way and get ready for next week.

I know this won’t go over well but I stopped caring about it after winning it had no effect on our seeding.

 

[GBO18]

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.

Agree somewhat but every coaches hope is the other team can’t make shots which is what Tennessee did in the 1st half.

 

[Zues1]

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

Yes, they've had cold streaks and DK saves the day.
I hope he's wearing his Superman suit in the second half.

 

[berryvol]

Lmao, welp. Watch this trash ass team get absolutely bodied tomorrow while shooting ~30%.

The trash ass team in this game won’t be playing tomorrow

 

[UTodd01]

I think we'll come back and win.

I like the optimism but eh....not happening today.

 

[Cdywolfe]

Jesus this fanbase is pathetic

 

[Starplayerk168]

I deep down knew this was a possibility of them doing this sh** in one of these games. But not the FIRST one.

 

[SGidds]

That was as bad as it gets. Even if they don’t win this game, in the second half Tennessee needs to show that they are capable of playing tournament level basketball.

 

[SonOfGodVolforlife]

I’m so glad Santi and JJJ stayed 6 years so they could hide every year in march.!!! Can’t wait for them to leave.

 

[casetopia]

Everyone has gotten so used to letting dk carry the load that they don't know how to adjust when he doesn't.

 

[Stoerner Fumbles]

Rebounding.

You’re right. With shooting this bad, we’re getting more looks at offensive rebounds so we can get more misses to get more rebounds.

 

[RockyTop140]

I think we'll come back and win.

We literally have 0 answers for what they are doing to us inside. Whistle isn’t helping, but goodness we’d have to absolutely catch fire to even make this competitive in the 2nd half.

 

[lvocd]

I’m officially worried. Unfortunately, I don’t see how Tennessee could pull off a comeback as dramatic as it would have to be to win this game with as inspired as Miss State is playing today.

Does a loss eliminate the possibility of landing a one-seed in the NCAA Tournament?

 

[Mightyvol]

Pat Adams baby!

 

[90 Vol]

Tn was never going to be a 1 seed

Does our seed even matter at this point? We're getting bounced by round 2 regardless.

 

[DooleyOrangePants]

Blueprint for an early March Madness exit on full display today.

That and we just don’t seem to want to be there today.
