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

[aWhiteLoftonChism]

I think defensively we are in fantastic shape and offensively it comes down to us not turning it over and hitting 3s at a solid %. My hope is that JJJ (maybe even VB or JP) realize how good they can be and double their production for the next 9 games. It’s not unprecedented… think JRich his JR year. That was a fun run to watch and shoulda/coulda have beaten Wolverines. OR If we just have no more 5-10 minutes of little to no offensive production the rest of the year I like our chances vs anyone. GBO!

My impression of the the the SEC tourney games I’ve watched is the officials are allowing players pretty physical play. Would that help or hurt with Miss st?

There were a gazillion free throws shot in last nights games!
Tennessee has not fared well on the road because they are officiated differently. If the Vols are allowed to get into a flow tonight and don’t have 2-3 key guys in foul trouble, the Vols cruise to victory.
GBO!!

Not sure who you are referring to. You mean the other President’s name- Pat Adams?

Yep. Tossup between old and stupid and don’t want to make the call.

Carter is the worst.

motor mouth Dykes already at work in first game. any bets on how many times he says Smith is first in draft? Sound already turned off here.

Go Vols beat those dogs. Wish I could watch it but I just moved to a apartment and don’t have the internet and cable up and running yet

 

[sportsnut624]

I will be surprised if we start well today. It seems like every year the double bye teams take at least until halftime to get going.

 

[dono]

Make. Free, Throws. I submit that is an indicator of the mental side.

I’d be watching on my phone or at a sports bar.

I may just go to Buffalo Wild Wings and do that.

I'm reluctant to take the Vols at -7.5 since this is tournament play. A better bet today is TAMU +9.5 vs AU. TAMU is rising while AU is struggling. I think TAMU winning or losing within a 9.5 pt window is very doable.

Great call on TAMU so far! Let's hope you're wrong on the other.

Yup. Other than stupid play, that’s what did Bama in last night. They really struggled at the line.

Carter is the worst.

CD’s were great, though.

I just got divorced last month lol I will be at BWW or Hooters tonight watching it

I’ve never thought the double bye was a good thing. I’d rather have a single bye as I think there’s an advantage to getting one game under your belt before playing a higher seed. Auburn is about to lose btw

 

[OrangeBeachVol]

Auburn one and done.

 

[Doctrippin]

There we go. I knew that 10 point spread was too much for AU to cover and they get beat. Took TAMU +9.5 and Vols Money Line in a parlay. Go Vols

 

[Volfan1000]

Tennessee cannot afford to overlook Mississippi State as Texas A&M proved that the lower seed can beat the top seed in this tournament.

 

[BruisedOrange]

Is Mississippi State feeling blue? Did someone in the graphics dept. confuse them with Memphis State?
