JJJ 3-bomb at the half buzzer was huge.

Wonder where our fans who complain about refs are. Total of 6 fouls called that half

We got another whole half to gripe, relax..

I fuss about fouls, example was last week. The Difference today it isn't lopsided, letting both teams play

 

[TooLegit2Quit]

Let's go! Huge three before the half. Turnovers are the difference in this one. I expect the D will clamp down in the second half.

I’ll take a 6 point lead with how bad we looked and how good ole miss looked. Come out and play our game in the 2H and this should be a double digit win.

 

[vols 30]

We are shooting 56% and only up 6. Need defense to be better 2nd half and we should win comfortably

 

[JRVOL11]

just need to get some stops

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Okay, we get the ball first in the 2nd half. We need to score and extend this thing to 8-9 points and get a bad Ole Miss team doubting. Don’t let them get confidence and hang around till the end where anything can happen in March.

 

[joevols89]

Defense gotta show up next half to finish this one.

 

[Boomer78]

Phillips needs another year

I kind of agree, but then again, the list of college players that I said needed to stay that are making a lot of money at the next level is pretty long

 

[vols 30]

Missouri coach not getting coach of the year is a head scratcher

We will see if they stay consistent.....most of the time they call the game totally different in the 2nd half

 

[rgvol]

I'm listening down in Florida I love it go vols

 

[Delmar]

Only one half but I don’t like what I see. Had hoped we can overcome Ziegler’s loss by committee but it looks doubtful to me. We just don’t have another true point guard and it is obvious. Lucky we were on from 3 because the offense was disjointed and way too many turnovers just getting the ball up the floor. If they can’t bring it up against Ole Miss, they will be in trouble against better teams.

 

[RAVOL]

There in the game because of TO's 3or 4 layups. We have 0 but yet we are up 6 at half as offense has been good. Now does Ole miss have legs in 2nd half. In CHRIST Alone

We might play 3 great halves of basektball to start this tournament (whoop Ole Miss, come out hot off a win against Mizzou) and get into a Saturday game. That's what I'm calling.

 

[tnvols72]

He's gonna transfer anyway....so oh well

To get developed offensively he might need to.

The difference is Ole Miss is shooting out of their Booty, busting threes with no effort. Our Defense slacked a bit, hopefully we come out focused in the second half

If this 1st half team shows up against Mizz then they are going home

Who got it, I'm in the fog

 

[JoeMiltonsAgent]

Hope that close gives them some momentum in the second half.

Looked a tad lethargic from what I saw early on.

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

The zone was a good move. No way they were going to keep knocking down 3s at that same rate.

Question now will be when will it be used next. Ole Miss might be spending halftime scheming how to attack it. Time for the man-to-man to lock down.

We beat a dead horse like no other here on VN.
