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

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

Awaka should be solid next year. Aidoo not gonna expect much. Estrella we will have to see. Hoping we grab a good big if one hits the portal.

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

I would have to look at player by player on that. Hodge and Brown are in for the duration. Vescovi is in. JJJ, Awaka, Key, and others just kinda show up and fade out. If any of those players can score 20 with Vescovi and they can stay on the floor..great!

We need at least two shooters. That is the Barnes offense.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

We gonna win.

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

Santi hit a pair of 3’s to open. Good defense on both sides, but too many turnovers. Physical game and sloppy. Santi and JJJ sat out minutes with 2 fouls.

 

[KB5252]

I haven’t seen bitching, just stating the fact that we are challenged offensively and getting no help inside.

I'm with you, I had to correct my post, autocorrect got me.

Refs suck, and we’re playing tight with lots of turnovers, somehow ahead when it feels like we’re getting throttled.

 

[Voljayton]

This is a game I'd like Kennedy Chandler for. They're guarding so tight at the 3 point line it'd be perfect for him to blow by them. ZZ too but I think Chandler was a better finisher at the rim.

 

[Delmar]

Then he will get coached up

By One Cent? Surely you jest.

If you want some laughs, go look at the Mizzou social media feeds and you’ll see a few people complaining about how the only reason Tennessee is leading is because Mizzou can’t make free throws and Tennessee “hits a fluky prayer from half court.” Ironic, right?

 

[vavolfan6]

Not sure how confident I feel going into this next half. Its a toss up really. Yes, we get Santi and JJJ back on the floor, but I also think Mizzou will make a lot more 3s. We really need our bigs to take control and get some production. It seems they all struggle when going up against 6'10 and better guys. Would be nice to get him into some foul trouble..

 

[firestorm]

I see the Spartans have continued a valiant comeback Vs a bad Buckeyes team in Chicago.

So in other words they are rose colored Tigers fans much like WatchMojo has no objectivity for which super hero is better if it involves Batman because they are biased by favoring Batman.

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

Please no early whistles. Don’t need SV or JJJ with 3 fouls.

 

[firestorm]

Great failed dunk

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Buckle up. This half feels like it’s about to be insane.

 

[vavolfan6]

3 fould on 6'10 dude is huge!!

 

[ttocswob]

3 fouls on Diarrea

 

[VolGee4]

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

I don’t agree.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Damn. Mizzou is heating up.

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

Every time we push out a lead they hit some bs shot

 

[87&91ALUM]

Tied up

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

8 pt lead blown fast

 

[87&91ALUM]

And we miss a good shot
