The Official #4 Tennessee @ Ole Miss Game Thread, 9:00 PM ET, ESPN2

We can’t seem to hammer it on offense at the start of games but today it’s the defense keeping the Rebels in the game.

I so wish we could pound Paint..... I can't wrap my head around the Lack of it

We gotta stop jogging down the dang floor about to be 9 points off of bad transition defense

 

[VFL1127]

If you're going to foul at the rim make it count!

 

[molsen81]

Their guy just turned all the way around and took about 4 steps. No call

Homer no call

 

[Chattahooligan]

Good shooting so far, defense is posting a goose egg so far, uncharacteristic, if Gainey had hit that second 3 it would’ve been the momentum shift we needed.

 

[patrick]

Not saying Vols are playing well but we can’t buy a foul call.

 

[Aerie Vol]

How many times are the refs gonna let them shove our screener in the back?

I’ve seen a lot of separation following full extension arms. They are pushing off for space every possession.

 

[Anti-shunshinepumper]

Dubar isn’t playing bad

It's good to know he is capable if we need him. Not sure Rick wanted to play him this much tonight but the minutes/experience definitely won't hurt us in getting him in some type of roll come tournament time

 

[Franklin_Vol09]

These are some phantom fouls on these shots. Earlier in the game I saw a player hit another one with a chair from the bench on his shot and there was no call.

The American Dream couldn’t land a cleaner elbow than some of those Ole Miss players

 

[vols 30]

Ole miss has about 4 guys that look about 32 years old

 

[SKV84]

Chaz would be such an elite player if he was more aggressive instead of just looking for 3's all the time.

 

[Larkin]

The fouls….geesh

 

[vol94]

If you're going to foul at the rim make it count!

I don’t understand why we could so much at the rim. Like you said, go strong so he doesn’t make the shot.

 

[vavolfan6]

You weren’t expecting us to go in there and blow them out were you?

No. But watching them on the same court, it is clear we are the far superior team. Bigger Size. Faster Athletes. Better talent. We are head and shoulders above the Ole Miss team. It feels like they are hitting some lucky contested shots and getting bailed out. While we have good ball movement and getting clear open shots by our guards.

 

[walkenvol]

Gotta improve our transition D!

We always wait on defense to set up this season

 

[tnvols72]

Tn has to push the ball on offense and be aggressive.

 

[molsen81]

We gotta stop jogging down the dang floor about to be 9 points off of bad transition defense

Yep, we’re supposed to be this suffocating defense

 

[VOLINVONORE]

Dubar giving us good minutes

Cane making mistakes he usually doesn’t make. I am a bit surprised

 

[knoxchief]

Ole miss has about 4 guys that look about 32 years old

They are 8 year seniors

 

[Proud Army Wife]

lol no he isn’t.

 

[Putbacks]

Guess who is not shooting FTs yet?

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Hopefully 2nd half ZZ shows up again, because this is yet another first half where he has been a bit careless with the basketball and doesn’t look locked in.

 

[TheBigOne10]

Good grief another in and out

 

[molsen81]

They are 8 year seniors

Getting those construction degrees
