Give Ole Miss credit. Played better than their record would indicate. TN defense cranked it up in the second half. Looking forward to Missouri. Need to deal some payback to them. Oh yeah and DEAD HORSE ALERT: Barnes just said in his interview that they still need to figure some things out with respect to replacing Zakai. So I guess it’s an issue whether some folks want to talk about it or not. Coach thinks so as do I.

Well obviously the team is lacking a true point guard, so yeah it's a work in progress.

JJJ and ON HAVE to play well offensively--have to shoot well--- for us to beat decent competition. HAVE TO. If they don't, we're sunk. JJJ was our leading scorer today--6 of 13 from the field with 4 treys and 4-4 at the line. 20 points. Huge. ON was 4-8 and 9 points. We simply do not have nearly enough scoring. We get a little scoring from our 3 centers (10 points collectiively) plus a bit from Philipps. And that is it. Vescovi, JJJ and ON have to be the guys--and it goes without saying that our defense has to be super good from here on, precisely because scoring is an issue--particularly because every opponent we play is going to dog Vescovi, who now has the extra burden of having to be on principal PG. That makes it even more imperative that JJJ and ON come through. Our winning margin without Ziggy has become very thin.

I have been working this afternoon, so didn't get to watch or listen to the game. I just checked utsports.com and under the "Results" tab, it said we had lost 70-55. My heart sank. So then I came here to VolNation and y'all are all happy and talking about playing tomorrow. I thought, "What the . . ." And then I realized utsports.com was incorrect. Why would they do that? But GBO!

Maybe the athletic department should take some of Danny White’s millions and pay the SID staff more than minimum wage.

Always good to see the VOLS win.

I love ZZ’ leadership as he was always in the middle of the team huddle.

Scoring droughts still concerning but Vols win big!
It was a good time to attend Bridgestone to see our Vols.

But, while protecting the lead late that defense was amazing. Ole Miss needed to score QUICKLY to have a chance and many, many of their possessions in the last few minutes were almost shot clock violations.
