The Official #19 Tennessee @ Mississippi State Game Thread, 9:00 PM ET, ESPN 2

Miss St has done a great job taking care of the basketball in league play. I’m hoping we can force them to turn it over. Otherwise I feel like they’ll be pretty efficient inside. Collapse in the paint, clog passing lanes and force them to shoot 3. They’re only shooting 27% in league play.

Which means they will naturally shoot 40% tonight, let's be honest.

I think they’d be happy w 30%. There’s only one player on their team shooting a higher clip than that in league play. He hasn’t made one in their last 3 games, so you’re right he’ll probably go off

Look at that dungeon/jail

Damn, I'm old, this may be the first time, I have bitched about a 9 est, start. Come on, hurry, I'm ready for a big road win

 

[bleedingTNorange]

Who is starting?

I’d look for Chandler, Vescovi, Powell, James & Uros

Yea, Molinar is really good but makes his living inside the arc…need our guards to keep him out of the lane, if you can make him shoot from deep that’s a plus.

Assuming they are trying to keep the rotations in tact’s as much as possible. Be interesting to see how this works but I don’t hate it if that’s the thought behind it. Starters don’t mean a ton in this system

Starters for The Tennessee Volunteers:

BHH gonna get a good opportunity, hope he responds.

Houston has no business being in the top ten they played two top 25 teams and have lost both

 

[TheMookieMonster]

I wonder if our game will start on another channel.

Looking like it for sure

Eh they got SCREWED at Alabama

 

[hUTch2002]

I know this will be tough. Road game, first game without arguably our best post player, and Miss St needs this win to help their chances for March. I still say we get it done. 67-62 Vols. Let’s go baby!!!!!

By a combined 3 points

Horrible crowd tonight. Can’t say the environment impacted us if we lose.
