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

[adam.vol]

Our best win this season was without Igor and Ziegler. I don’t think we’re better without Ziegler..

 

[GAVol]

Not with Igor...

You take what you can get.

 

[Big Orange Rock]

Well that sucks but I think the 1 seed was going back to Florida after beating Bama anyway.

 

[508mikey]

ZZ should have took the shot

 

[kiddiedoc]

don’t know why Milo can jam that shot

He HAS to take that up strong

 

[vols 30]

Igor is charmin soft

He's been a disappointment . A few good games but more like we saw tonight

 

[Memphisvol87]

Bet you said the same thing last game when Shack took that shot

There was no time last game, we lucked into
Barnes not getting his timeout with 1.7 seconds lol

 

[Volizona]

You mean a 1 seed

Yes typo

 

[Other_Guy]

This team is so frustrating. No excuse losing to an inferior team like this and blowing a 2 seed. They are just so bi polar.

Right they should have maybe, idk, broken Brakefields hands or something to keep him from scoring. One of the most EARNED dominate performances by a player, and you're crapping on Tenn because they aren't getting a #1 seed they likely weren't getting anyway.

This team has found ways to win better than any Barnes team. What is frustrating about it? Look at their losses and how the other team played. Quit whining.

 

[wmcovol]

Giving up 78 points to that team is where you lost that game.

 

[VOLtaism]

The pass by Igor up 4 with the ball right at Shacks ankles for a pick 2 was what turned the game around for OM. They were close to cracking but that ignited the crowd and it was downhill from there.

 

[Dergibvol]

Another TN special in March. No business losing that game. All year defense is top notch but come March the defense can't keep up and the offense always has a lul. Think there was another 5 minute stretch tonight with no FG. Can't be up 8 twice and lose the lead in less than 2 minutes.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

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

And the standing and watching and not blocking out

 

[SCSmokey]

Ol piss can thank the reffs for this game!

 

[ashleyyy]

man, we might be cursed.

 

[OrangeInKy]

6th loss in 30 games (all the quality teams) and people freaking out calling this team chokers when they clutched up Saturday against a top 10 team.

 

[C-south]

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.

They simply bullied our “best” defenders.

 

[VolunteerCeltic]

This

They are a team every yr that plays such a disgusting style and it ends every march just how you’d expect from a team that plays that way.

This team doesn't have the ability to get past round of 32 or get past Sweet 16. Their offense is bad, best scorer is Chaz and he disappears completely. Defense is figured out, teams are scoring much easier on them.

 

[Cdywolfe]

Ole Miss went to the line a half dozen times with equal or less contact. All I want is a shred of consistency.

 

[orchidvol]

I'm proud of the team for fighting hard. I don't know how a Tennessee's defense allows a nobody like Brakeman go off like he's player of the year in the second half. He seemed to score every time they had the ball in the final ten minutes. Ole Miss is a junk team. This sucks. Go Vols.

 

[Govols23!]

tough to win on the road this year but Igor‘s not the one to take the shot. Been waiting for him to be physical all year. unfortunately he just plays very soft. Tough loss especially with the Florida win

 

[Volnbeers]

I still don’t think the committee would have given us a 1 seed after Florida’s win at Alabama. How well. Test the starters til the tourneys and let’s make a deep run to the second weekend

 

[walkenvol]

Hats off to Mr Brakefield - you kicked our arse!

 

[Cartervol]

Second chance points.

 

[Tnphil]

If you are going to drive it with 3 seconds, go hard to the rim.and either score it or get fouled, Igor went soft, too easy for ball to get knocked out of his hands

Yep...That looked like a special needs person taking that to the net. Very weak.
