I love watching this team play. What a great game!

 

[Cartervol]

Its been this way for awhile and seems like its not being addressed.

Some of them you just had to tip your hat too them. Not sure you could of defended it better. Some not so much.

 

[JohnD13]

Despite the win, we’ve got big problems.

Yep 25-3. Some of you people would not be satisfied if we win it all because we lost 3 games along the way.

 

[lacrossepro70]

Can we please shut up Kermit the pissed off frog, thanks

 

[GBO18]

Damn OK state taking Texas Tech to OT. Big shot there.

 

[UpstateVol613]

Glad to see Turner get out of his slump. Hello Bowden.

 

[G0V0LS33]

I can honestly say that these kids need 1 thing. REST

 

[calban]

41 of their 71 points were from 3s and FTs. Them 3s can keep it close. 93% FT. Gritty win.

 

[kiddiedoc]

Watching our last possession again, that drive and shot by GW was like a 9.3 on the difficulty scale.

 

[CAVPUT]

Karma for getting F'd out of the LSU game.

Good road win against a good team.

Wait...Ole Miss is a good team? Last I heard they were garbage/trash. So confusing.

I'm afraid that will bounce us early from the tournament, if a team gets hot.

 

[top5vols]

A great road win.

Bowden has been killing us these last few games. Coaches really need to limit his shots

 

[Weezer]

You will see some calls start going TN's way. CRB handled the Anthony Jordan debacle with class and the other refs see this. His team will get the benefit of the doubt from here on out. The refs saw the screw job and CRB threw no one under the bus. It pays to stay classy.

Officiating will be key on Saturday. If KY is allowed to mug us at will again, I doubt we win.

 

[kiddiedoc]

A great road win.

Agreed. Gotta pull those out down the stretch.

 

[Cartervol]

Honestly i think we've fell in love with the 3 point shot. We started out playing inside out like this team should do, then started settling for jumpshots and 3's. Ole Miss getting about 20 points off 3's was the reason it was close. We're not running our offense patiently enough. Rushing things.

 

[NYCVolunteer]

Yes, you're so happy you lead with "We were lucky!" Because that's never a backhand internet compliment.

Quit being a miserable sack.

Dude wtf are you talking about? A team can get lucky to win a game and a fan can be happy about the W. You talked about LSU, so I guess some of the LSU fans were outraged that they won the game huh? Yeah right.

 

[mrmax86]

Nice quadrant one win!!! Bring on Kentucky.

Yup. Came here to post that. All of our last 4 games are Q1, big potential moves in the NET coming if we can win out. Road wins count as 1.4 wins too

 

[A-RodWiLks]

Also...Fulky missed at least 4 layups and had two terrible drives that got blocked. There's absolutely no excuse for him taking that many shots

 

[Switch 625]

Yep 25-3. Some of you people would not be satisfied if we win it all because we lost 3 games along the way.

Right. That’s exactly what I’m saying. SMH If you can’t see that this team isn’t playing well right now, then you know nothing.

 

[Volfan2012]

Ole Miss was hitting the three tonight really got us in a bind because we were not. They had not missed a free throw until that last one. They played about as well as they can we didn't and found a way to win. Until some of our players get their three point stroke working again this is the kind of game we'll see nail biter. Kentucky coming up we need to play very well getting back the number one seed rides on that one.

In fairness, we were hot from deep early in the year: Bowden, Schofield, then Turner when he got healthy, and Bone went through a good stretch, too. Lately, it's been a liability.

Cool story bro.

 

[Schasz]

Gut check time for UT and we got it done with a clutch by Grant Williams. Now we have to defend our home court against both KY and Miss State. Go Vols!!!

 

[rusty11]

Hope not, but the Tournament committee really seems to love to put us up against the best mid-majors it can. No doubt that there are kids out there that can shoot long range, lights out, that for playing for mid-majors. If you don't go out and defend them, then they'll put up 30 on you!
