The Official #17 Tennessee vs. #25 Missouri Game Thread, 3:30 PM ET, ESPN

[TooLegit2Quit]

Good riddance to these **** tier SEC officiating crews. Maybe we can get a semi-consistent whistle in the tourney.

100% they are a critical reason this conference doesn't have as much postseason success as they should.

 

[LVol]

Next time Rick put Awaka in and tell him you do not care if he fouls out as long as he pushes Brown down each time

 

[knoxvol52]

Barnes needs to say to hell with defense and play wide open only way to have a remote chance

 

[PC Jr.]

Complete lack of execution in the last 4 minutes.

 

[JCP201]

We will have some rest before the NCAA. sigh.

 

[firestorm]

Oh well.

I am hoping that somehow, someway Barnes he outdo himself and get this team to the Sweet Sixteen! Go Vols.

My Low bar expectation is they’ll get to the second round.

 

[JMSqb11]

The big guys were giving us nothing.

And JJJ at the 5 was giving us nothing on defense. Too many easy baskets

 

[Switch 625]

#1 defense my ass.

 

[YankeeVol]

Joe Lindsay made it sure gonna happen too

Shooting 70% from 3 the second half made the difference

 

[Kicker82]

Who cares about this tournament. Didn’t help us make a run when we won it last season. Rest up hope for a good draw and see if you can make the sweet 16

 

[tnvols72]

I guess we need to focus on getting some offensive players. Defense isn’t beating offense in basketball.

TN is pathetic on offense. I have seen better offense at the NAIA level

 

[charleyhorse]

Or without ZZ

Wrong players shooting inside 2 minutes

 

[Voldawg1970]

We play 2 in tourney then done. Just no standouts down low. Kobe Brown owned us. I agree with the above. Terrible with or without ZZ.

 

[amaralfan1]

This loss would have bothered me a lot more last year... before learning that winning the SEC Tournament can't improve your NCAA seed.

 

[GAVol]

I am pretty sure I got blasted for saying TN was going home early in the tourney. They are going home

 

[LVol]

I hate Missouri bb, fb ,bb and maybe even softball, hate their wbb too!

 

[VOLnVANDYland]

Terrible last 2 minutes

When have we played well down the stretch this year?

 

[tnvols72]

Who cares about this tournament. Didn’t help us make a run when we won it last season. Rest up hope for a good draw and see if you can make the sweet 16

you did, you are here

 

[FlVols]

We sure have fallen apart at the end of this year

 

[Tenacjim]

Terrible last 2 minutes

That’s our MO….

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Just put this team out if it's misery

 

[Frozevol]

Thus is on JJJ. He was pure horse crap on offense and defense

It just seems like we rarely have a game when two or three players have a bad game.

 

[D3Athlete]

Shooting 70% from 3 the second half made the difference

Our guards getting destroyed made a difference. Allowing Hodge to shove Santi and get open 3 is ridiculous and another game changer.

 

[Sudden Impact]

Called poorly both ways but this is BS and we need time to work some fringing things out. Rest we were out bodied up today. 4th seed/5th seed or outside looking in at the 3 Seed.

 

[W.TN.Orange Blood]

Tennessee Vols Basketball ........ 1 & done.
