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

Mashack > Santi

Mashack is all heart.

 

[Switch 625]

I'm so ready for Santi and jj to move on. I appreciate what they've done, but it's gotten pretty stale.

Barnes should have benched them long ago and developed the younger guys.

 

[arkyvol]

Is it baseball season yet?

 

[GoodTimeVol]

Tell me another game you remember where a Tennessee team showed less heart.

Why does it matter?

 

[RockyTop140]

Didn’t even look like we belonged out there. Sucks

 

[tnvols72]

I think Car got the short end of the stick to be honest. He is way more talented than JJJ and Santi and they got all the minutes. Barnes could have slowly brought him along. Santi and JJJ and a weak Aidoo will be the reason Tn gets sent home in the tourney

 

[JCP201]

We won the 2nd half.

Can't recover from that start.

Well won't have to plan my Sat-Sun around the Vols game now, sadly.

 

[jsm]

MSU is definitely a tougher team. They are big, strong, physical, and had a chip on their shoulder. We will fall to a #2 seed.

You think?

 

[Putbacks]

MSU is the most physical team in the league, and we shoot just 10 FT’s to their 22…Very telling…

 

[tnvols72]

Barnes and this team should be embarrassed. They did not belong in this game

 

[Vols All Day]

I’m to the point now where I think it might be good to let Santi come off the bench. It would take some pressure off him and if you start mashack you don’t lose anything on defense. He was barely hitting the rim today. All mental at this point.

The issue is that it would be hard to make a rotation change in the tournament. Barnes should have benched Santi a few weeks back when everyone was calling for it.

 

[UTodd01]

You think?

We absolutely fall to a 2 seed. Should be a 4 the way they're playing.

 

[volmoon]

Whipped

 

[Volstylexx]

is this our first back-to-back losses.

No we lost three straight against Purdue, Kansas, and UNC early in the season.

 

[barney]

JJJ has spent so much time cosplaying an old man in college that he actually plays like an old man

 

[Switch 625]

I certainly didn’t have this loss on my bingo card. Thought it would be tomorrow.

Unfortunately, I saw this coming all week. But watched this mess anyway in hopes I was wrong.

 

[camp_steveo]

You mean to tell me, I pay for cable for this ****?

 

[JCP201]

If Tenn ever wants to be legit Barnes needs to go

NO.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

A remarkable 9 points combined from Santi, JJJ, and Aidoo.

 

[PEPPERJAX]

Well
BTO's post game report shouldn't be long-winded. GBO!!!

Hindsight is always 20/20. I would’ve expected Vescovi to get out of his funk at some point, but he hasn’t. It’s tough to watch

 

[Putbacks]

Marty over there loving on him some MSU jersey….

 

[Volstylexx]

Serious question guys.. this loss shouldn’t effect seeding right since this tournament kinda pointless for teams that are already guaranteed in the March madness ?

Correct. We could have played our way up with a few wins, but a 2-seed was our floor.
