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

Some of you all really need to be madder about the team missing 14 of 17 shots the last 12 minutes of the half than the refs.

They are not mutually exclusive.

 

[patrick]

Horrible TO

 

[golfballs]

Jeez great start. SMH

 

[golfballs]

Was just about to say would love to see KC hit a three right out of the gate

 

[vol94]

If this same thing happens again in the 2nd half with State this time and the refs call foul and it cost us the game, then chairs need to be tossed out on the floor. These refs get away with crap without having to answer. Disgraceful!

I agree as I just told my wife the same thing. Our daughter is a Freshman @ Ms State and my son a freshman @ UT. Just told my daughter that the refs better not cost UT the game. She couldn’t care less ( ) and said , “oh well.” My son was livid and said he thinks there will be a controversial play end of game.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Not the greatest play, obviously. That I agree with. But it was a foul 10 times out of 10.

That's fair. I would just prefer not to leave that possession in the hands of the officials when over the final ten minutes of the half Tennessee got mugged and State was not called for really a single foul. In that context, I'm not sure why you'd expect the officials would all of a sudden call the foul.

Again, my apologies to Kennedy for the emotional post, I just don't like that with 20 seconds to go the shot we got was a contested 3-pointer from NBA range.

 

[VolPack22]

I have a friend who died of hyperbole chill.

Dang that’s cold.

 

[Creeker]

Wow BHH

 

[Namorto1]

Unbelievable

 

[patrick]

He has to dunk that. What the hell

 

[whobethis16]

They are not mutually exclusive.

Again, if they hit 3 more shots this is an 8-10 point game regardless of the refs. Control what you can control, not whine about the other stuff.

 

[TheBigOne10]

No. The best rim finishing guard we’ve probably ever had at UT has in fact, not hit a layup all year.

Lol it was a joke big guy. Take a deep breath. And pump the breaks on best rim finishing guard ever.

 

[tnvols72]

BHH has to make that shot

 

[Sugaray13]

That 3 second call was egregious. I still don't even know who it was called on.

That’s called the SEC trying to get more teams in the tournament. Right now Miss St on the outside looking in. A win tonight gets them back in.

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

Make a damn layup

 

[golfballs]

What’s JJJ doing extending so far

 

[The Dog]

Gotta dunk that, BHH

 

[SlyStone]

BHH SLAM THEM

 

[vol94]

Someone explain how Hatfield misses easy layup?

 

[VolsSportsFan]

Not a great start to the 2nd half.

 

[peerless98]

BHH was fouled

 

[orangejuice]

Ugh

 

[TitanicVolz]

If theirs one thing u can count on from a TN team is starting a half/game with some RIDICULOUS ass turnover!!

 

[ukvols]

There's a Fix on this game and after the 2 second and non 3pt foul nobody can change my mind. This is Vegas and officials that should be legally liable for fraud, embezzlement, and theft. They move more money than some Hedgefunds through the course of season. Disgraceful.

BHH was in the lane for three seconds. I just rewound it back for a second time.

I thought KC was fouled when I saw it live. I rewound it back and changed my mind, because there would have been no contact if KC had shot normally instead of jumping into the defender.

 

[SlyStone]

nICE PASS KC
