The Official #6 Tennessee vs. #14 Mississippi State Game Thread, 7:00 PM ET, ESPN2

Hubbard flops every time

Every 3 point shot he’s looking to shoot 3 FTs.

 

[FlVols]

Get the lead back over 15 after this time out. Get out on a 10-0 run!!

 

[VolsAgainstTheWorld15]

Hubbard flop.

Does it every time his shot is contested.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Well knew they’d shoot better, but the refs getting whistle happy wasn’t expected.

And 2 were on the offensive end for us too.

 

[walkenvol]

What happened at half time?

 

[Vol49er]

There’s no lead so big that we can’t blow. Unreal.

What lead have we blown? And also, what game this year featured us having a big lead and then blowing it? That literally hasn’t happened

 

[SGMVols]

Tennessee showing how we rank outside the top 300 in pace this season.

There’s no correlation, positive or negative, between tempo and winning

 

[BigOrangeCrush32]

Awful calls. Leaned all the way and threw out the arm. Wow.

I saw that too, how was that not an offensive foul/charge?

 

[VolsAgainstTheWorld15]

Gotta bow our backs and tough it out. State was never going to let this be a runaway. They’re too good of a team.

 

[Go47]

Offense continues to struggle . . . We have scored 4 points since half / in almost 5 minutes of play.

 

[Go47]

Well that lead disappeared in a hurry.

No offense.

 

[utVolFanInVA]

TN just gonna TN no matter what. Play exceptional in 1st half but due to shooting woes only have an 18 point lead. Open the 2nd half playing crappy D & turning the ball over. Lead down to 7. SMH!

 

[87Vol]

No intensity or fire after halftime. We thought we had a cakewalk.

 

[Caz]

Igor got this half started poorly. We have to have more from him period!

 

[RAVOL]

Alright after Chaz opening shot rimmed out we went mindless. Definitely not the mental toughness you need and State increased theirs. Time to play Vols your turn to go on a run.

 

[Pennheel]

Coming out flat after the half. This media timeout hopefully eases things.

 

[RAVOL]

Th

No intensity or fire after halftime. We thought we had a cakewalk.

That's what I'm seeing

 

[Voltopia]

Don’t, uh, pass the ball out to the open guards or anything …

 

[ttocswob]

"That would have pulled us within 4 points" - unbiased announcer

 

[YankeeVol]

Okpara for 3!!!!

 

[FlVols]

Three

 

[RockyTop140]

Lmao. Okpara bails out a terrible possession

 

[volsarelife1]

Okpara!!

 

[patrick]

I’ll take it. Lol.

 

[87&91ALUM]

Cmon Vols...what happened to you!
