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

[TNVOLFN]

Man, what a clunker at a terrible time of the year to play so gutless.

Good news is my expectations for the NCAA tourney are rock bottom.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

12-loss MSU and the refs have made it a runaway. Tennessee has not helped its cause, but face it, they let State’s physicality take Tennessee out early. 12-loss MSU…

Oh please. the refs didn't make it a runaway.

JFC some of you.

 

[theroyz71]

One shot and done every possession.

 

[Exiled]

This is embarrassing

 

[FlVols]

We can’t hit a shot. Damn

 

[Carl Pickens]

This is worse than Exlax

 

[VFL1127]

I don't understand how or why they are playing this bad

 

[volsarelife1]

Just play all the walk ons at this point. They could play worse or give worse effort.

 

[Score50]

The way we are playing may even cost us the top #2 seed!

Who cares. Be home before next Sunday either way.

Aidoo another miss. Fouls galore on MSU with no calls.

 

[SlyStone]

I have said this numerous times this year that this team can't win 6 straight in the dance. I hope I'm wrong.

 

[Chad Powers]

This truly does feel like the b-ball teams when I was in school at UT when TBA had the black-out curtains on the seats. The team that has shown up today, would be hard pressed to get minutes under Wade Houston. Really bad basketball and really don’t know where the disconnect is. Losing, not great - blow outs are unacceptable for a team that’s been ranked 5 or better in the nation for weeks.

 

[TJVol95]

These seniors really want it

 

[TennesseeFan07]

Vescovi with his first step back three in over a year.

 

[Volstylexx]

How is Aidoo 2nd team All-Sec? Dominated by every physical big in the conference.

You sound like a KY fan

 

[FlVols]

Vescovi please hit these!

 

[vavolfan6]

Idk how you can just keep sending Aidoo and Awaka out there. The freshman bigs literally couldn’t do worse, and you may as well send a message to your upperclassmen

Have you seen them play?....it could be worse

 

[87&91ALUM]

Santi fouled on a three...make four shots please.

 

[JoeMiltonsAgent]

He should have did that against Ky. Benching them will not make them become shooters all of a sudden

No it won't make them shooters but it would remind them that they still need to play defense and play hard down low.

They have been getting beat down the floor all game and Aidoo in particular is getting embarrassed down low today.

 

[TJVol95]

19 big first half points
10 minutes left they have 14 points

 

[volfan__18]

He has a point. Aidoo has been abused by majority of teams who have a dominant big man.

Please stop.

 

[Delmar]

Is Miss St just a bad matchup for us? They seem big and long

That’s part of it but there’s no excuse for this no show. It is obvious they have had a letdown since winning the title. They didn’t just automatically go bad after a season full of great effort. Better wake up before next week.

 

[Just a VolinTears]

Why in the hell are we not emptying the bench? The game is over so just give the kids some actual game reps. If we get someone hurt in these next few minutes I’m going to be beyond pissed

Because you fight until the end

 

[LadyinOrange]

There goes my hopes for a final four or better.
