The Official #17 Tennessee vs. #25 Missouri Game Thread, 3:30 PM ET, ESPN

Fire the clock operator regardless

There probably should have been time left on the thing.

 

[Hoggervol]

Do I really have to worry about Phillips leaving for the NBA?

Phillips is not a one and done. He may not even be a four and done.

 

[Tenacjim]

Way to go Mashack. We need to get there best player in foul trouble kolbe Brown. In CHRIST Alone

Yes, but we would need the refs to actually CALL it when he fouls.

 

[VolGee4]

Honestly, based off what I've seen this year, it ain't a great loss. Whoever thinks he looks NBA ready needs their credibility checked. Just a wild (not in a good way) undisciplined player on the court.

Lol…he’s talented. Maybe not NBA ready yet, but last time I checked, 99% of players need time to develop.

 

[The Dog]

Poetic Justice, especially if we win by 3 or less. Eff Mizzou

 

[berryvol]

does not feel like a game we should be leading.

Also, just have to give credit where credit is due. Kobe Brown is a really good player

I want to dislike him so much, but can’t hate a fellow north Alabamian. Also, he is just a hard nosed guy that plays the game the right way all around. Haven’t enjoyed going against him, but I’ve enjoyed watching him at Mizzou the last few years.

 

[RAVOL]

The reason Mizz will go home in Big Dance early is because they take away all the hand checking without they can't defend. Let's see if the officials will tighten up on this call like they did in Knoxville. In CHRIST Alone

 

[RAVOL]

Yes

I think it would be good for him to be here another year. Is he NBA ready?

 

[VolArmy74]

Halftime report. I loathe Joe Lindsay. I hope we don't see him again this season.

I'd very much like to see him put the talent on display.

 

[firestorm]

The Volunteers will need to minimize the turnovers in the 2nd half because this is a winnable game.

 

[DC_Vol]

Missed everything but the last 2 minutes of the first half. Can anyone share the bullet points?

 

[Cdywolfe]

I’m sour about that T on JJJ.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

This team gets a gold star from me for somehow getting to the half with a lead with Santi and Josiah both out that long.

Same. Feels like a miracle. They should both be pretty fresh, too. They sat a lot in that half. We need a quick start in the 2nd half.

 

[CAVPUT]

Someone tell me help is coming next year in the post. Please!

Estrella, Aidoo and Awaka. Plus.... hopefully....a portal guy.

He single handedly has them in this game.

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

Holy crap! Mashack from the half line at the buzzer. But, they are looking at it. I noticed on that play the clock running before we go the ball in.

The clock doesn’t stop at the end of the first half - only game end.

 

[firestorm]

Halftime report. I loathe Joe Lindsay. I hope we don't see him again this season.

I’ve switched over to Michigan State which trails a bad Ohio State team according to the mathematical losing record which is 15-18.

 

[VOLINVONORE]

Just because a team plays poorly doesn’t mean they don’t want. The opponent has something to do with that.

That is what I am saying. Some of their players want the game more more than some of our players do.

I think the "Calipari hair jell" is affecting his brain and vision...

 

[87&91ALUM]

33-30 at half....whew...gonna be a close one. 3 point percent UT 46% to Zoo 22%. Field goal % 46-44 Turnovers UT 10 zoo 8. rebounds UT 19 to zoo 13. Mashack and Vescovi with 9 each, Key with 6, and ON with 5. Uros has one turnover and one foul. Vescovi and JJJ with 2 fouls. Several with one foul. Brown and Hodge have 21 points for zoo. Brown 1 foul and Hodge none...it seems like our shooters are always getting the early and no the bench fouls. GBO! Win this!

 

[Frozevol]

I don’t think it looks anything like the last time we played them. They were hitting crazy shot after shot that day.

Not on the last 9:00.

Go Volunteers

I’m hoping they close in this similar style coin flip game vs the Mizzou Tigers.
