The Official #7 Tennessee @ Ole Miss Game Thread, 5:00 PM ET, SEC Network

[vols 30]

26 points and 19 rebounds from the bench is not too shabby

You're spelling and your reading comprehension sucks.

Well if you’re going to question someone else’s spelling and reading comprehension, it would help to learn the difference between “you’re” and “your”….

 

[Kas232323]

How are they 11-1 and unranked?

They haven’t played anyone except Kansas and they got destroyed at home.

 

[JCP201]

Too close for comfort, but we won!!!!

Game - 63-59 TN.

Vescovi missed both foul shots @ the end. I just don’t see how you miss foul shots.


This team isn’t a top 10 team imo, however, the tournament is payed in March, not December. I just hope the offense is fixable as it’s painful to watch.

You ever played basketball?

 

[PureOrange]

Has been for a while it’s the opposite of the football team for sure. One sport were great offensively and bad defensively but then flip it for basketball.

They could switch coordinators in each sport if that would make some happy.

Worth a shot lol. Maybe let heupul draw up some offensive plays and Barnes draw up some defensive schemes lol.

Can’t say enough about Aidoo tonight. Feel like he really grew up today. Turned the game with his defense and rebounding. They had some tough physical bigs and he didn’t back down an inch. Toughest I’ve ever seen him play, especially for a prolonged period cause it felt like he played almost the entire 2nd half

 

[Lankykong]

I'm not saying this just because we're stinking at this second, but this team has been overrated all year. That's not to say we have a bad team, but we're probably more like #27 than #7 imo.

I dunno man, we are hanging in there with Arizona and beat Kansas. Basically all teams are flawed this year except maybe UCONN

 

[GiveHim6InSC]

Need JJJ to start playing too.

Yep. Even if it’s just for a little while. Dress & warm up, then sit the whole game. It’s in his head, I believe

You ever played basketball?

Sure did, point guard. But not college level

Missouri looks really good. Good thing we get them at home. Man, what a difference it makes when you fire Counzo lol.

Hated that they fired him...

 

[GiveHim6InSC]

I’m headed to Columbia for the game next weekend against the poultry. I hope the Vols show up for that game and run em off the court

 

[VolGee4]

How are they 11-1 and unranked?

Have only beaten Illinois. 8-0 in Q3 and Q4.

What was your FT %? I don't like that he missed them, but it happens to the best of them. Just part of the game.

I think after getting his early shots blocked, he started playing with more purpose and had a really good game...

 

[DownTheField]

SEC opener, road WIN! Some of y'all act like you never watch college basketball

 

[I4Vols]

Reading this thread from start to finish makes me think:
a. Too early a game for regular bball posters
b. Lots of bipolar people here today
c. Trollville, not Fanville comments
d. We forget it ain't over till it's over

Answer: e. All the above

How true. In the past Barnes’ teams had a transition game. I can live with the half court offense as long as we limit the turnovers and can limit droughts. Good offenses have to be able to score other than the three ball.

It’s only December so there is plenty of time as defense will allow this team to win many games. I just have high aspirations as I love March Madness.

 

[vols 30]

We should be 4-0 in league play b4 facing UK. Miss St is good, but it's in Knoxville.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Phillips had that monster game against USC in Atlantis and has essentially disappeared since then. Baffling. I hope he can figure it out. We need someone else to emerge on offense.

 

[SmokeyLives]

A conference win on the road is a beautiful thing. Especially when Kermit heads to his locker room like a cryin’ schoolgirl.

Every player misses some as that’s nature of the game. However, my coaches always said there was a big difference missing earlier in the game, than making them at the end.


I don’t have an official score’s book but I shot over 80% from the line but below 90%. I was on the bench as point guard if I didn’t make it if I turned over the ball.
