The Official #5 Tennessee @ Mississippi State Game Thread, 7:00 PM ET, SEC Network

[docholiday]

Smith travelled, no call.

only 3 times......

 

[omghulkhands]

I thought we played super hard.

ZZ and Knecht really brought it. Vescovi didn't do much on offense, but he was a menace on defense.

Give Tolu Smith credit. He was an absolute monster.

My heart is pounding. It was an exciting game.

 

[markus]

That 10 sec call was.... interesting

Was ********

 

[sportsnut624]

Refs were on a mission tonight. Good for Mississippi State. We'll beat them by 30 at TBA.

You’ll have to wait awhile since they don’t come here this year

 

[camp_steveo]

UT comeback was insane. Too bad the refs were obviously calling the game for State.

DK has another gear that most players do not have.

 

[ttocswob]

Gainey for LVP - JJJ gets a dishonorable mention...

 

[KTrain]

That black ref needs to be checked out. Some ******** with him all game for real.

Well evidently he can’t subtract there were just 8 seconds off the clock we had a layup he calls a 10 second violation

 

[NO SIR EEE]

Stop blaming the refs. We had so many damn chances to tie/take the lead and we folded every time.

Hard to take the lead dude when they blow a whistle on every damn play under the basket

 

[GAVol]

That 10 sec call was.... interesting

Yeah… I guess it was legit, but that’s a subjective count

 

[tnvols72]

Why tf would zakai shoot that?

his last 2 shots were questionable

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

As physical as a game that was, there's no reason they out shot us by like 10 or more at the line. Ridiculous. Win or lose, Barnes should have taken a T.

Hard to take the lead dude when they blow a whistle on every damn play under the basket

We fouled every time Tolu got the ball. We have no one to match him. Same thing we did vs the other elite bigs.

 

[hUTch2002]

JJJ 1-8
Vescovi 1-4

Not just that. Terrible turnovers. That pass by V late in the game should have him sitting the next half. You just can’t make that dumb of a play in that situation. Maybe if you’re a freshman. And the you sit the freshman so he learns.

 

[Score50]

Just another game where our super seniors should have already graduated.

 

[JoeMiltonsAgent]

Yeah… little bit of panic

Yep

No excuse for them not working to Knecht for that shot.

ZZ did good but got in a hurry on that 3.

 

[I4Vols]

Just stop. Quit whining

Explain how many late whistles... in that one ref's mind, it wasn't a foul until it had to be

 

[amaralfan1]

Stop blaming the refs. We had so many damn chances to tie/take the lead and we folded every time.

Hard not to with quick whistles on 10 second violations.

 

[GBO18]

It was a bad loss. We had only two player that could score and got abused inside. Just my opinion

I’m talking resume wise. This is nothing.

 

[NO SIR EEE]

We fouled every time Tolu got the ball. We have no one to match him.

More than half of those whistles were ******** and you know it

 

[LivinginthePast]

Regular season don’t matter in basketball as much. Still wanted to win. Oh well. Beat Georgia Saturday and we won’t drop out of top ten.

 

[hatingbamaisawayoflife]

Lost game in 1 st half but the leadership and heart outside of zz ANF Kinect I question

 

[Cdywolfe]

We fouled every time Tolu got the ball. We have no one to match him.

They certainly called one every time he got the ball. While ignoring his half dozen travels.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Sucks our bigs aren’t better defensively. Hubbard shooting lights out really changed the game.

Don’t let Georgia punk you in the first half, we’re the hunted in every game and especially on the road. Good to see Dalton get it going, no Aidoo, no JJJ on either side of the court really. Santi also needs to score more, he had a great defensive game though.

 

[chuckiepoo]

Need Ole Miss to come up big tonight.

 

[joevols89]

Hard not to with quick whistles on 10 second violations.

They blew the whistle at 20 seconds. Vescovi dribbled it once but pushed it way ahead. He probably didn’t have possession at that point.
