The Official #6 Tennessee vs. Missouri Game Thread, 6:00 PM ET, SEC Network

[Zues1]

Mizzou can't possibly shoot that well two halves in a row. Our defense wasn't as bad as the score shows. We need to figure out how to keep the passing lanes open. The Tigers had our number first half.

Don't bet on it. We've seen this movie before

 

[WhenUrVolUrVFL]

Low sports IQ for these ref blamers. Missouri got a friendly whistle early but during their big run they just dominated us.

Our team has checked out mentally because of the Sum of bad officiating leading up to this game. This sucks because this team is very talented. We just got hosed starting with the Arizona game.

Uros can't make a dunk. Again.

But he is tall

 

[DooleyOrangePants]

Our guys are scared to deatb

Scared, disinterested, and seem shaken/timid.

BJ
SV
ZZ
Phillips
Uros/Aidoo/Tobe

Thats the lineup

 

[zaqhhh]

I think early bad reffing contributed. We had the chance to have a 10 point lead early if things were called right.

Past that the shooting for Mizzou has been incredible. That can’t last.

But 12 pts without JJJ is hard to makeup

 

[SGMVols]

Believe I might be pining for a #8 offense over a #1 defense for a couple of seasons. Getting outplayed big time.

There’s not a coach coming here to give you that

 

[tdd]

Can any of us really say this team looks like a top 10 team. Have any of you guys saw Alabama play? That team looks for real. It could get ugly this Wednesday night in TBA. We may end up a 5-7 seed before this season is over. I think this coaching staff is lost and has no answers. Who on this team has improved over the last month? Everyone has regressed.

Bro what

ORN is not helping us today. It's like we have four people out there when he is in. I can't believe that recently almost every team suddenly becomes a bunch of Stephen Currys whenever we play them. I see us defending the threes often but they still hit.

 

[Ernest T. Vol]

Key? I'd honestly play anyone over Key
I'm sure he's a good person, but he's brought absolutely nothing to this team

Edwards making too many mistakes to be in.

 

[K-town Vol Fan]

Two games in a row where we've eaten our first half time out.

Tehe

Ok Qanon

 

[Namorto1]

Book is out. Athletic guards can crowd Vescovi and make him put ball on the floor. We need more options on offense. With Nkamhoua going 1 for 6….what can this team do? Phillips has 1 shot in first half.

 

[Woodlawn VOL]

We have to learn how to finish at the rim. We can’t miss open looks and easy shots. There is not enough emotion on the floor, we need a go to guy on offense and nobody is stepping up. We are getting out-everythinged. They are hitting a crazy amount of guarded 3’s which is helping them beat us off the dribble in space. It’s time for this team to wake up. I will say we didn’t get any favors from the refs in the first half but the above still applies. Barnes should have told the refs they need to go watch the tape of the first half at halftime. GBO!

 

[Chris4Vols22]

Wow, people are seriously blaming the refs? Get real, guys.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

50% and 8 3 pointers is about as good of a half as Missouri could ask for.

Basically need them to go ice cold in the second half and us to stay hot ourselves.

Let’s be honest, he’s not helped us for most of the season. He sprinkles in a few nice games here and there, but more often than not, he’s mediocre at best.

Seems like they have the most fight out there.

 

[DooleyOrangePants]

Wow, people are seriously blaming the refs? Get real, guys.

First 10 minutes, refs changed the entire complexion of the game. Last 10 minutes, the team has collapsed and is playing like a beaten dog.

It’s a bunch of different things, not just or even mainly officiating.

 

[OrangeVolMan]

I’m not a Barnes hater but sometimes I wonder about things. There were numerous games BJ could have played in and gotten some experience and we would still have won easily. Now he plays and he just not ready and that is on Barnes. Why the refusal to use a timeout. What are you saving it for the end of the half. Well if you are down 10-15 at that point what good does that do you to save it.

 

[cncchris33]

I'll say this, if I couldn't see the home floor, I'd never guess we were playing at TBA. No energy from the fans, Mizzou shooting lights out, and nearly every call has gone their way.

 

[zaqhhh]

Bro what

What part are you having an issue with?

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Seems like they have the most fight out there.

It might not be our best defensive lineup, but its our best scoring lineup.
