can't leave any doubt as a bubble team... just sayin

If we have to beat Bama anyway, does it matter?

We beat Bama we are in regardless how sloppy this one looked

What good does a 30 point win have vs an 8 point win? Does aggregate score count for our résumé?

Perception is reality

 

[Nerd-Vol]

"Let's go poodles." Chants the MSSU crowd.

 

[coffeecountyvol]

thank god they can't hit 3's

Yes, we've played sloppy. We're also still up 13 points. Finish with a win, get your mind right, and prepare for next game.

Yes it does on the bpi

damn mcrae

 

[TooLegit2Quit]

We have more turnovers than MSU.

 

[Mr_Henley]

TN is a bubble team. Perception matters when you're on the bubble

I doubt if we were judged after this game the committee would say, "ya know I had them first team out until they beat Miss. St by 30, how can we leave them out?"

 

[Orangedogsrule]

trey is mugging

 

[YankeeVol]

Down to 11.....

 

[tnvols72]

mcmiss cant dribble

 

[YankeeVol]

We have more turnovers than MSU.

Which is bad because it was 11-6 in their favor after the 1st half

 

[Nerd-Vol]

Man, I have never been super confident in our offense this season, but the wheels seem to have fallen off right now.

 

[Spartacavolus]

ball shouldn't leave trae's hands at this point in the game unless he is trapped

 

[Insunseri]

Down to 11.....

Surely we couldn't blow it at this point

 

[YankeeVol]

mcmiss cant dribble

McBrick can't do anything other than hit an occasional 3

 

[tnvols72]

glad there is only 2 min left

 

[Catbone]

Ugly win but I guess I'll take it

 

[YankeeVol]

Gotta make FTs

 

[Orangedogsrule]

they'd say vols blew 19 point lead to MS an coulda lost

 

[utvolz98]

Opposite is true. Barely in and get bumped because of the effort.

 

[Insunseri]

Survive and advance

 

[YankeeVol]

Ugly win but I guess I'll take it

A win is a win come tourney time

 

[Nerd-Vol]

Ugly win but I guess I'll take it

Don't jinx it!

 

[CNCVol88]

just as we feared, State came out loose while We came out tight and we haven't loosened up this whole half.
