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

[vols 30]

I really wished Chaz or Gainey would've took a three to win it.

 

[OrangeInKy]

His arm was grabbed and there was no call.

He absolutely should’ve made that shot

 

[ColinS]

He wasn't fouled at least not enough to get a call in that situation. Have to be strong with the ball and make the shot.

 

[Cartervol]

lol we’re cooked then

That's where they're headed.

 

[NOLAPhil]

I love being a vol fan for the sheer fact that the establishment hates us. The announcers are so happy we lost

 

[Go47]

Not overreacting. If we ever get close we would of course choke

Not an overreaction - much data to back up your take.

 

[theFallGuy]

That sucked ass.

That’s what Barnes drew up.

That was horrible.

Going to the rim? Ok whatever go to bed

 

[TNVOLFN]

Opportunity to do something Historic by earing a #1 seed and choked. Oh well, hope for the best path as a #2.

 

[C-south]

BS, definitely contact foul on the shot. Brakefield was not straight up. Doug needs to retire

The ole miss guy didn’t touch him and literally ran away from Igor. Just a dumb play and we actually drew it up.

 

[TheBigOne10]

Igor my guy…..man

 

[kiddiedoc]

Barnes does what Barnes always does. Its all right there and you piss it away

Got a play to a big guy running free at the rim? Looked like a good play to me.

 

[Volizona]

Losing to Vandy, Ky at home and this team is just inexcusable

 

[Freak]

Milc can’t be the guy to take that shot. That was fn horrible.

He had no problem knocking down the shot and the free throw that gave us a chance.

 

[vol4eva]

Felix was awful tonight. Got dominated by Brakefield and cost us the game

 

[I4Vols]

A 3 footer at the rim is usually a pretty good idea.

Not with Igor...

 

[floridavol25]

at least we get 250k from their fans being in court right after buzzer… also id challenge the goaltend call with the league as that was the worst call

 

[GBO18]

Barnes does what Barnes always does. Its all right there and you piss it away

lol

 

[VolsSportsFan]

No one to blame but ourselves. You blow 4 leads and don’t extend then you lose.

Rest of the season until the NCAAT is kind meaningless now

 

[87Vol]

Well we had a No. 1 seed for the taking and we choked it away because we forgot how to play defense. Sad.

 

[TrapVol]

Damn good look too. Looked like he got grabbed big time. Refs won’t call it in late game.

As I said, the refs won’t end the game on a foul call. Wish anyone would’ve shot that ball other than Igor.

 

[Clad in Big Orange]

Getting a 2 seed isn't the worse thing. Maybe that will inspire them

This team just isn’t a front runner. Every time they get ahead, they trip.

 

[rdk4121]

It was a good play, going to the rim, chance for a foul if missed it. Just slipped out of his hands .

Nah, Brakefield slapped down at the ball. Looked like a clear foul, but I'd need to see the baseline angle of it. If you slap down it's almost an automatic foul

 

[SicEmSmokey33]

Wasn’t a foul. He lost control of the ball.

May have gotten a whistle if you go up strong

 

[Namorto1]

Oh well. Won’t get a #1 seed. Ole Miss went iso ball and we couldn’t stop it. Our small ball lineup didn’t work tonight. They beat us on offensive glass. 14 extra shots.

 

[VolsAgainstTheWorld15]

Hard to get a better shot than a 3 footer right at the rim uncontested. Perhaps not the dude you prefer to get the shot, but still. Anywho, kind of a flukey win for Ole Miss in a sense but also a win they deserved. Did they hit some shots that were a little wacky? Heck yes they did. They hit some shots that on paper you’re thrilled to give them. Did they out tough us? Heck yes they did. A lack of toughness on our part was the difference. Couldn’t keep a slightly above average player in Brakefield out of the paint and off the boards. Couldn’t keep Ole Miss off the glass. They deserved it. Would have been highway robbery had we won frankly.
