The Official #9 Tennessee vs. Mississippi State Game Thread, 6:00 PM ET, SEC Network

[TrumpedUpVol]

Dear lord.. do any of our posts know how to dunk the ball?! A rim run for a post player is the easiest chance to dunk but we wanna do finger rolls

If you only watched Tennessee basketball, you'd be apt to believe that the NCAA was still banning dunks.

 

[vols 30]

Sorry but our bigs have the worst hands and post moves of any I’ve seen lately. I realize there aren’t many coaching the game for big men anymore but jeez almighty.

We miss ON

 

[Kicker82]

There’s a lid on the rim when we shoot fts

 

[Voltime123]

We miss ON

He was just as inconsistent lol

 

[VolArmy74]

Hopefully Santi knocks these two down.

 

[BallerVolFan]

Practice free throws all that time just to start 0-4...

 

[RAVOL]

Now 0-4

 

[sunnyvol79]

Then go to a friends house or the local sports bar!

I’m at BWW now. Go Vols!

 

[VolunteerCeltic]

Vols are getting the stops and TOs, need to quit missing layups and freebies.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

Starting out 0-3 at the line

Now it's 0-4.

Vescovi is 0-1, Uros is 0-1, Fulk 0-2.

 

[VolPack22]

At least we are getting some calls to go our way. Vescovi got bailed out by the ref right there.

 

[GhostVol]

I didn't this year eventhough clearly there's no energy in the Missouri program.

I thought halfway through the season that there might be an outside chance he'd get another one to turn it around but the way MO closed out cemented his future.

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

One of Powell, Mashack, or Bailey needs to step up. Chandler’s going to have to rest that ankle. Probably be worse tomorrow than today (hope we get to find out).

 

[BreatheUT]

Starting out 0-4 at the line

How many reliable FT shooters do we have?

 

[Bigorange123]

I’ll miss Fulky, but I won’t miss the stupid comments about his age from the announcers this season.

They act like he played basketball on the Mayflower.

 

[vols 30]

He was just as inconsistent lol

Disagree. He was more reliable. He was playing great when he was injured

I thought his buyout would give him another season.

 

[BallerVolFan]

I think it's 0-4.

Vescovi is 0-1, Uros is 0-1, Fulk 0-2.

JJJ is 0-1 not Vescovi. If Vescovi is missing from the free throw line, there has to be a lid on the rim.

Yup, it will stiffen over night and be sore tomorrow.

 

[VolGee4]

Now it's 0-4.

Vescovi is 0-1, Uros is 0-1, Fulk 0-2.

JJJ is 0-1

 

[VolsSportsFan]

JJJ is 0-1 not Vescovi. If Vescovi is missing from the free throw line, there has to be a lid on the rim.

Yep. Hope I didn't jinx Vescovi.

 

[BallerVolFan]

Depends on the day... flip a coin.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

That right there is why I hate officials.

The MSU offensive player just bangs into JJJ, pushing him back then he calls a touch foul on JJJ on the shot. GTFO with that BS.

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

Bailey gets the first opportunity of the irregulars. He’s due a big game.

 

[GhostVol]

What has the SEC taught you?

Their refs need remedial basketball instruction
