Official MTSU v Tenn Game Thread

[Volben00]

sloppy or not, i'll take it. I had a feeling those 1st two opponents were really sub-par. This MTSU team will make some noise.

A few days ago Bob Knight said MTSU would get past the first weekend of the tourny

He really likes them

Do you understand who we played the first two games?

yes, i dont consider MTSU much better than UT-Martin or UTC, last year we beat MTSU by 69 points

Good point. Many have MTSU tourney-bound. They are a much better team than UTC or UTM.

We still didn't play very well, but Pearl is still working out some kinks.

Siena scares me too, but many teams on our early schedule scare me.

MTSU would hang 100 on either of them.

we didnt even hang 100 on UT-Martin so i'm pretty sure MTSU wouldnt

bobby maze's assist totals keep goin down as the point we win by go down...

We got 19 points out of our pg play. After enduring the last 2 years, there's no way I can complain.

MTSU plays Vandy next. Good measuring stick.

can i get a recap?

can i get a recap?

Refs were terrible.
Our post play didn't show up.
Hopson scored all his points in a matter of a couple minutes and then disappeared
Woolridge looked like a Freshman
Our full court press kept MTSU in the game.
JP turned his ankle
Tyler continues to play like SEC POY.
19 points from the 1 position. Tabb did alright. Had a few turnovers.

lots of fouls, we shot well from the free throw line, tyler played great as usual with 18 points and 10 rebounds, hopson was on fire in the first half and played about a minute in the second

This year's edition of the Blue Raiders would handle UT-Martin or UTC easily.

thanks

Still, MTSU is a quality opponent. They are much improved over last year, while we as of yet, are not.

Seriously, what does last year have to do with anything?

Didn't the football team win the East last year?...how much did that help this year?

MT is good this year, it's been a while (that's for sure).....but they are better than UTC and Martin, plain and simple....(scoreboard)

Good win for the Vols...on the road....hostile environment....HIT FT's.....finished the game.....great prep for the rest of the year!!!!


I think both teams are going to have a GREAT year!!!!

This was a good win. I was in attendance at Murphy Center tonight. There was the usual "homecooking" fouls and such. What I was most impressed about was the unbelievable size difference in the teams. We were bigger in the perimeter than they were in the interior. It was a joke.

All in all, I have been watching the basketball Vols since 1966, and I can say I like Bobby Maze as a point guard as good as anyone I have seen. He has the patience required to be ultra-effective as a point guard. He is STRONG to the hole and finishes with efficiency. MOST IMPORTANTLY, he knocks the BOTTOM out of most of his free throws.

I've seen all the powers play and UT has as many horses as anyone in the country. Hat might scoff, but deep down he knows I am right.

 

[Sabanocchio]

I think MTSU beats Vandy.

 

[KevinA87]

Any new news on JP's injury?

 

[TennesseeFan07]

I've been wondering the same thing.

I wouldn't mind enduring another SEC championship if it means we get the same kind of pg play as last year.

MT played a heck of a game. I was glad to see them hang in there to the end. I like both equal so I wasn't too upset that MT lost. However, I did want UT to win. I also went to the MT football game Saturday. I saw some (just a little) orange in the stands. I think some of the UT fans might of hung around and went to the football game as well. If they did, they saw a great display by the Blue Raiders and Phillip Tanner. Who had 6 td's in the game and set the Sun Belt record with the most td's in a game by one player.
GO VOLS!!! & BLUE RAIDERS!!!
