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

My apologies. I didn’t mean any harm. I was asked a question from another poster about doing shooting. I gave an honest answer as I was a good foul shooter. I was only 5’7 so I had to find a way to make the court w hustle, ball handling, defense and point guard play, incl foul shooting.

No worries. FT shooting definitely needs to be better especially with our offensive challenges at the moment. That defense though...

Down 30-36 and some idiot in the Ole Miss student section starts yelling at Santi off a Tennessee turnover and Santi just walks away and that’s when we saw things turn. He hits a layup and a three pointer and just like that its 39-39 and the cherry on top is after he hits that 3 as he gets back on D he blows a kiss to the student section. The Ole miss student section seemed to wake the guys up.

Life on the road in the SEC is never easy even against the “bottom” of the league

How soon we forget having to go OT to beat 0-18 in SEC play Vandy when we were ranked #1

And that took almost a small miracle, we were down 6 with about 1:20 to play and Grant got flagrantly fouled, hit both FTs then hit a jumper on a 4 point swing that kept us in the game.

Good memory, my friend. It’s exactly why I smile when posters say “easy win.”

ZZ literally thanked their student section in the postgame interview, saying it motivated them

Did anyone see him dribble the ball over in front of the student section and leave it there at the end of the game?

I noticed that too. SV gets fired up by some dumb fan and has his best game of the season so far. Coincidence? I think not.

Those students need to be pushed back 7 or 8 rows at Ole Miss. Several years ago, Marshall Henderson of Ole Miss was openly taunting the UT student section at a game in Knoxville. The whole game he motioned, yelled, and gestured. After the game, as the UT students chanted his name, he actually ran into the stands towards several students. Obviously, he was a nut case, but proximity to opposing athletes could turn into a mess. I can’t imagine what was said, but I’m glad our players responded how they did to the BS.

It's pretty funny how if we lose people dwell on it but if we win, even ugly, it's largely forgotten. When the truth is there's not a whole lot of difference between both outcomes when you really break it down. Do these people not remember us winning at Georgia when Brian Williams threw up a miracle putback? And the year before we were #8 and went down there and got whipped by a 9-8 Georgia team that ended up 14-17.
