The Official #17 Tennessee vs. Ole Miss Game Thread, 3:30 PM ET, SEC Network

Really important 5 minute stretch here. We’ve struggled to close out halves all year. Need a good stretch before the break.

JJJ was Hot early, b4 he goes Cold is Make him shoot

 

[Cartervol]

Look slow on defense..

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

2-3 zone

 

[wmcovol]

Must be something about Bridgestone that Vols don’t play defense

 

[ttocswob]

Zone D this trip...

 

[Namorto1]

We go zone because they are beating us off the dribble often.

 

[CornbreadVol]

Man what has happened to our d these past 2 games…

 

[tnvols72]

Pathetic letting this team hang around

Missing ZZ more on defense. Nobody is stopping the ball. Ole Miss can get anywhere they want

 

[vavolfan6]

Only 3 personal fouls so far...I expect a much more physical team 2nd half.

 

[RAVOL]

Man what has happened to our d these past 2 games…

I guess we are seeing just how much pressure ZZ puts on ball. In CHRIST Alone

 

[GAVol]

“Tennessee has to do a better job rebounding “

We’re outrebounding them.

 

[JohnD13]

I guess that historical defense is gone for good. Need someone to step up and noone has or will apparently.

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

Wtf was that Phillips my god dude

 

[tnvols72]

lol Phillips

 

[ttocswob]

Santi downtown 3!!!

 

[VolsSportsFan]

So many silly turnovers this half.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Just mugged Santi

 

[TheMookieMonster]

So Santi gets absolutely mugged and they call nothing???

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

So careless with the ball

 

[sechamp2012]

Zone looks like gettOM out of sync but they’ve got 12 transition points on TOs

 

[tnvols72]

They always talk about how good Tn D is but never how good the offense is and for good reason

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

I'll just say it.. Phillips has regressed bad

 

[ttocswob]

ON blocking shots like a pro.
