The Official #9 Tennessee @ Mississippi State Game Thread, 7:00 PM ET, ESPN2

[87&91ALUM]

That’s it….69-59 38.4

 

[YankeeVol]

The whole 2nd half has been a bunch of “NO. NO…. YESSSS!!!”

I’ll take it

 

[Rizzo924]

We’re going to score 70 the hard way.

Gonna be some tired/sore guys in orange tonight!

 

[CAVPUT]

Phillips showed up second half. Along with ZZ

Pretty clear he needs to be a focal point in this offense. Like Grant, he needs hands on the ball every possession.

 

[YankeeVol]

Easy win

 

[RavinDave]

That’s gutting it out

 

[SouthknoxTN07]

States coach looks like a former car salesman .

 

[Doctrippin]

CHA CHING for the spread betters

 

[patrick]

Does my posting In CHRIST Alone bother you?

Honestly I don’t think the Trinity care much about sports.

But more pointedly, unless you say “In CHRIST Alone” after every phrase you speak which I think is doubtful, then I find it oddly out of place. Not bothered per se.

My opinion matters not though.

 

[Putbacks]

Given all the circumstances….big win!

 

[Voltopia]

Gigantic tip of the hat to the players tonight. All sorts of reasons to fold, tailor made excuses to lose one, and they came back and put a stamp on the second half and took it from Mississippi State. Road wins are as precious as gold.

 

[volsarelife1]

First half was extremely ugly. But what a fantastic second half and great bounce back game.
Any time you can win a conference game on the road and by double digits is great. Held another team to under 60 as well

 

[TooLegit2Quit]

That was a hell of a win. Run it back this weekend, minus double digit TOs in the first half. Hopefully we can get healthyish before then.

 

[DC_Vol]

Look at ZZ. He knows he’s done something good.

 

[casetopia]

Hard to beat a team twice. Nice job boys.

 

[Willy14]

I know MSU isn’t very good, but that might be the most important win of the season so far. Not biggest, most important. Down 2 starters, horrible first half, on the road, just everything going against you and you pull it out. Now, we need Vescovi to get healthy.

Plus this should keep you as a 2 seed in the NCAA tourney, which is much better than a 3 seed

 

[Volprofch05]

11 point victory, crisis averted, complete meltdown unnecessary

 

[YankeeVol]

70-59 is the final

 

[Caculator]

Pretty clear he needs to be a focal point in this offense. Like Grant, he needs hands on the ball every possession.

When he followed Uros in the lane he was unstopable

 

[sportsnut624]

I think keeping it a double digit win is important for some of the stats that the committee uses in rankings. Those fts were big if that’s still the case

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Damn boys...what a way to respond!

Winning by 11 on the road and going from 23 in the 1st half to 47 in the second half!

 

[PEPPERJAX]

The events just turned playaz!!

 

[DownTheField]

Ugly gritty rock fight double digit conference road win. Hell yes.

 

[minorvol]

Great win. Team overcame a lot and JP grew up tonight.

 

[pimo1]

This one is a loss tonight. Move on and hopefully squeak in the tournament.

Interesting
