Biggest Men's BB game in years- State vs Tenn Game Thread

[Coach34]

This one is huge for the program boys- let's get it done!!!

[BeardoMSU]

Booyah!

[Lord McBuckethead]

Yep. Had to put on my lucky shirt and grabbed my 4 year olds lucky shirt also.

[MCsMGs]

Roll call! How many of you Dawgs are in the Hump?

[preachermatt83]

I wish I felt good abt this game. I just don't think we match up well with them at all.

[Bulldog1]

Yep. Had to put on my lucky shirt and grabbed my 4 year olds lucky shirt also.
I’ve got my lucky pants on

[BuckyIsAB****]

I wish I felt good abt this game. I just don't think we match up well with them at all.

Im nervous too

[Bulldog1]

I feel like it’s gonna take all we got.

[ScoobaDawg]

I wish I felt good abt this game. I just don't think we match up well with them at all.


HALLELUJAH!!! WE GONNA WIN BOYS... PREACHER just said so!!!!

[ScoobaDawg]

I feel like it’s gonna take all we got.

We all we got.
We all we need.

[Coach34]

We have to play well- but that is what it takes this time of year

[RougeDawg]

I wish I felt good abt this game. I just don't think we match up well with them at all.

Why don?t we march up well with them? Thought they were smalll. Williams their only ?big? worth a shit is 6?7?. We are a bad matchup for them so long as the referees don?t decide the game.

[LC Dawg]

A game in late February that means something. This is awesome.

[WSOPdawg]

I wish I felt good abt this game. I just don't think we match up well with them at all.


HALLELUJAH!!! WE GONNA WIN BOYS... PREACHER just said so!!!!

Wooooo-hoo!!! It's in the bag! Thanks, Preacher. :)

[Bulldog1]

Here we go.... We ready!!

[WeWonItAll(Most)]

Lower deck across from the camera looks half full. Shame on those students

[Bulldog1]

Come on Ado. Catch that and put it up

[Dawg61]

Let's gooooo!!!!

[Bulldog1]

Nice Q

[Bulldog1]

Really Aric?

[Bulldog1]

Yes!!

[Liverpooldawg]

Lower deck across from the camera looks half full. Shame on those students

Student section looks to be half empty as well

[BrunswickDawg]

Holman going beast mode

[RocketDawg]

Lower deck across from the camera looks half full. Shame on those students

I'm beginning to agree with you guys. Why do they even buy tickets if they're not going to use them? I'll bet it's the same seats that are empty every game too.

Looks like the whole upper deck is essentially empty too. The Hump in reality is less than half full at the start of the game. Maybe it'll get better as people get off from work and to the game.

[Bulldog1]

ARIC!!

[Coach34]

Holman good and bad early

[BrunswickDawg]

Student section looks to be half empty as well
They are at least bringing some noise and energy

[bostondawg]

They are at least bringing some noise and energy

yep. feels like that half full student section brings more energy than the rest of the Hump.

[Bulldog1]

Nice ball fake

[Coach34]

Q solid early but cant guard Schofield

[Bulldog1]

Q!

[BrunswickDawg]

Q!

[LC Dawg]

Peters is bringing it.

[msstate7]

Q solid early but cant guard Schofield

Hardly anyone can. He is a linebacker playing guard

[Dawg61]

Datcher getting minutes early

[bostondawg]

Love this energy on defense.

[msstate7]

Datcher getting minutes early

And Williams scores.

[Bulldog1]

Wooo! Eli!

[Coach34]

great start for us- about what I expected. But X's 2 fouls makes it interesting

[RocketDawg]

Gettin' to be a pretty wild game, and our guys are playing hard and looking good. Looks like Peters just caught one to the jaw.

[msstate7]

Tyson, you know I love you... dang dude, you have to hit that 3

[LC Dawg]

Looks like our guys are embracing the moment. They are playing loose and confident.

[MarketingBully]

Peters should have been shooting 3 FTs there. Got popped in the face.

[Acid mouth]

Brace yourselves for another game with loopsided fouls. Tenn will keep playing physical smothering defense until they start start getting fouls called on them.

[RocketDawg]

Q solid early but cant guard Schofield

I saw an interview with Schofield a few days ago. He's really well-spoken and handles himself well. Pretty decent player too.

[Liverpooldawg]

I see how UT has such good defensive stats. They grab and hold well.

[Bulldog1]

Lamar and Q!!

[RougeDawg]

It?s obvious Tennessee?s team knows where their weight room is. Our guys don?t.

[Liverpooldawg]

6 fouls to 1, and we are at home.

[Dawg61]

6-1 on fouls

[RougeDawg]

Referees appear to want to influence this one too.

[RocketDawg]

Need to play a little better here. We've let them catch up, almost.

[RougeDawg]

6 fouls to 1, and we are at home.

Been that way all year until we have a lead at the end and the opponent has to foul. Then it evens out.

[Dawgology]

Just got home from work. Anyone there? How does the crowd look? Seems quiet.

[RougeDawg]

Just got home from work. Anyone there? How does the crowd look? Seems quiet.

Refs taking away any momentum with. Bad calls.

[LC Dawg]

The difference in our shot selection when Peters is in the game vs when he?s on the bench makes it obvious who is most important to this team.

[msstate7]

Wow

[Bulldog1]

Good job driving by nick.

[RocketDawg]

Just got home from work. Anyone there? How does the crowd look? Seems quiet.

Lots of unused shakers on the lower level seats, particularly around the 50. I guess they'll let folks move down pretty soon. Team is playing well though.

[RougeDawg]

Baby hands ado hurts us again. Somebody show him the weight room please.

[Bulldog1]

We’ve got to start rebounding

[msstate7]

Killing us in the paint

[Dawg61]

Vandy up on Mizzou 30-25

[Bulldog1]

Our luck...

[msstate7]

Williams is an outstanding college player, but Barnes looks like an idiot saying Williams is an nba player.

[RougeDawg]

Anybody ever watch the FX show The Strain? Rick Barnes looks like the shady old guy in that series.

[Dawgology]

What is it about the blue bloods and always getting favorable calls. The foul differential is a joke

[msstate7]

Vandy up on Mizzou 30-25

Mizzou falling apart hurts us imo. They are one of our better wins

[msstate7]

Just terrible, peters

[Liverpooldawg]

Q is just terrible on defense

[Coach34]

our double teams are awful

[Dawgology]

Doesn’t look like we are rebounding for shit

[BeardoMSU]

Mizzou falling apart hurts us imo. They are one of our better wins

They'll still be a quality win...we'll just take their spot in the dance (hopefully...)

[Coach34]

Mizzou falling apart hurts us imo. They are one of our better wins

what? Mizzou losing helps us. They have lost 3 in a row.

[msstate7]

I do not like how this is shaping up. They get shots in the paint way too easy. Our guards have to step up and deny entry passes

[RougeDawg]

Doesn?t look like we are rebounding for shit

We play bad angles.

[Quaoarsking]

Mizzou falling apart hurts us imo. They are one of our better wins

Bart Torvik says Vanderbilt winning would help us, I guess because it puts Missouri in danger of not making it at all, while really only nudging our resume slightly.

http://barttorvik.com/bubble-guide.php?team=Mississippi+St.

[LC Dawg]

They could call Tenn for that hand check on Peters most of the times he?s bringing the ball up.

[Dawg61]

Williams is an outstanding college player, but Barnes looks like an idiot saying Williams is an nba player.

Schofield is an NBA player imo

[msstate7]

what? Mizzou losing helps us. They have lost 3 in a row.

Q1 home win is top 50, right? Mizzou at 42 right now and losing to vandy

[msstate7]

X 3rd

[Dawg61]

Bama is getting housed by Florida right now 25-15. I think that helps us as long as we win tonight obviously.

[msstate7]

Announcer is right... tenn is man handling us

[RougeDawg]

Ado can?t sit there with the ball. They knock it away every time.

[RougeDawg]

Announcer is right... tenn is man handling us

They are manhandling us because they?ve actually seen a weight room. They are solid players. We are mostly skin and bone.

[msstate7]

Crowd out of the game now and we are getting our shit pushed in. We better tighten up

[Dawgology]

We look gassed. Going to have to dig deep

[Bulldog1]

Ado is getting destroyed

[Dawgology]

Crowd out of the game now and we are getting our shit pushed in. We better tighten up

Hard to beat Tennessee AND the refs

[LC Dawg]

Q with a horrible shot and Ado picks up the foul. What a shitty sequence.

[msstate7]

Hard to beat Tennessee AND the refs

They are going in the paint every possession. That will get you fouls. We are settling for jump shots. Men vs boys

[IMissJack]

They are manhandling us because they?ve actually seen a weight room. They are solid players. We are mostly skin and bone.
I agree with this.

[Liverpooldawg]

Refs are dominating this game, and it's one sided, the no calls more so than the calls.

[Dawg61]

Can't give up 38 points in a half. Tennessee making 12 fts is killing us.

[Bulldog1]

Get him out

[mparkerfd20]

These refs are horrible

[Dawgology]

Hosed by the refs again. It should be our mother ****ing motto. **** this

[RougeDawg]

We are the only SEC team to not get a home field foul advantage.

[msstate7]

Can't give up 38 points in a half. Tennessee making 12 fts is killing us.

When is the last time we have not given up 40 in a half. Our defense has gone to crap

[Liverpooldawg]

Announcer is right... tenn is man handling us

Why not, they are being allowed to.

[MarketingBully]

I hate refs. They have dictated this game big time.

[Dawgology]

Oh well. NIT is still a step forward for this team. We just aren’t experienced or talented enough to hang with a team like TN right now.

[Coach34]

Refs are dominating this game, and it's one sided, the no calls more so than the calls.

bullshit- they are whipping our ass inside. We got to adjust

[RougeDawg]

16 free throws for the visiting team is absurd. They made 14 of them.

[starkvegasdawg]

Rosebowl tweet:

Lamar Peters shows the baseline rep some scratches on his arm to show that he was held. The baseline official, who has had so much camera time, sarcastically asks him, "Do you need to sit out?" Peters can't believe it.

[Coach34]

Stop with the refs shit- they are the agressors and attacking us- we arent matching that intensity. It's on us. We have to adjust

[msstate7]

bullshit- they are whipping our ass inside. We got to adjust

Yep. They are flat out dominating us in the paint. We either have to foul or watch them score. They better

[MarketingBully]

They are going in the paint every possession. That will get you fouls. We are settling for jump shots. Men vs boys

When we go in the paint their guards are allowed to reach in and foul Ado to knock the ball away. We can’t play defense inside because they are falling for every Tennessee flop inside. Might as well be playing in TBA.

[Coach34]

16 free throws for the visiting team is absurd. They made 14 of them.

we shoot fadeaways- they shoot going to the basket- it isnt rocket surgery

[Liverpooldawg]

bullshit- they are whipping our ass inside. We got to adjust

It's the now calls on grabs and hand checks that are disrupting us on offense. I agree they are abusing us physically in the paint when they are on offense. Why the anger man? Just calling it as I see it, same as you.

[Coach34]

When we go in the paint their guards are allowed to reach in and foul Ado to knock the ball away. We can’t play defense inside because they are falling for every Tennessee flop inside. Might as well be playing in TBA.

awful post. Ado is a *****- thats why he cant get a shot

[BuckyIsAB****]

Stop with the refs shit- they are the agressors and attacking us- we arent matching that intensity. It's on us. We have to adjust

I get the point, some fairness to it but the ref that was on the media table side is trash. He called the vast majority of the fouls

[Bulldog1]

They are just tougher than we are. We are getting our crap pushed in

[RougeDawg]

we shoot fadeaways- they shoot going to the basket- it isnt rocket surgery

They maul us with no calls. We sometimes aren?t making contact and getting called. The game has to be called close to even In 2nd to have a chance.

[Liverpooldawg]

When we go in the paint their guards are allowed to reach in and foul Ado to knock the ball away. We can’t play defense inside because they are falling for every Tennessee flop inside. Might as well be playing in TBA.

EXACTLY.

[MarketingBully]

Stop with the refs shit- they are the agressors and attacking us- we arent matching that intensity. It's on us. We have to adjust

Williams was able to foul the shit out of Peters on a three point attempt that was called a good block. I have seen four of those happen and the only time that wasn’t called a foul was when Williams got away with it.

[Liverpooldawg]

awful post. Ado is a *****- thats why he cant get a shot

He is 100% correct coach.

[msstate7]

They are just tougher than we are. We are getting our crap pushed in

Yep. If we do not man up, this gonna get ugly

[MarketingBully]

awful post. Ado is a *****- thats why he cant get a shot

lol whatever. They have to get the FT discrepancy evened out. We will start to get calls in the second half even if we don’t deserve it. You watch.

[Liverpooldawg]

If we try to do what they are doing, we may be playing walk ons at the end. That's the way it's being called, and not called.

[MarketingBully]

They maul us with no calls. We sometimes aren?t making contact and getting called. The game has to be called close to even In 2nd to have a chance.

Agreed. They are getting the majority of the calls.

[MarketingBully]

Yep. If we do not man up, this gonna get ugly

Man up? They would probably call us for charges if we did what they were doing.

[LC Dawg]

We have been shooting the 3 ball better lately but it ain?t happening tonight and it?s hurting us on both ends of the floor. Peters was driving and distributing early in the game and it was working. He seems to be letting their defense affect him but he needs to keep driving by them.

[Bulldog1]

At some point our players have to be accountable and not the refs

[msstate7]

At some point our players have to be accountable and not the refs

Never the players. Never credit to the opponent. It is always the refs fault

[HoopsDawg]

Howland will never do it, but a little zone could certainly help.

[Liverpooldawg]

We have been shooting the 3 ball better lately but it ain?t happening tonight and it?s hurting us on both ends of the floor. Peters was driving and distributing early in the game and it was working. He seems to be letting their defense affect him but he needs to keep driving by them.

Watch what the UT guards are doing to him and just as importantly the other players moving into the paint. It's grab and hold. It's been called once, and they do it every trip.

[tcdog70]

At some point our players have to be accountable and not the refs

What does that mean? Acoountable for what? Ref making shitty calls. Let's hope they call shitty in the second in our favor then the Vols can be held accountable.

[Coach34]

lol whatever. They have to get the FT discrepancy evened out. We will start to get calls in the second half even if we don?t deserve it. You watch.

Ya'll complain about the refs every game. It gets old. Ado scored 2 points Saturday because SC was physical- same with Tenn. He is getting better- but Ado is still green and soft. It's not the refs.

[msstate7]

Howland will never do it, but a little zone could certainly help.

Better chance of datcher playing the point for the 2nd half

[RougeDawg]

Never the players. Never credit to the opponent. It is always the refs fault

You must be listening on the radio. There was at least One trip and one pull down that we?re clear fouls that TN got away with on drives by nick and Lamar.

[HoopsDawg]

Never the players. Never credit to the opponent. It is always the refs fault

UT is really good. They are the best team in the SEC. They've beaten Purdue and they played Villanova and UNC tough.

[Liverpooldawg]

Never the players. Never credit to the opponent. It is always the refs fault

Credit where it's due. I usually don't blame the refs. I actually don't have many beefs with what they are calling on us. It's what they aren't calling on UT, esp their guards.

[tcdog70]

What needs to happen is stop the turnovers and make shots. 34 was right , it ain't rocket surgery

[msstate7]

Guess the refs gave up that offensive rebound

[LC Dawg]

That?s flagrant.

[HoopsDawg]

That's at least a Flagrant 1.

[BeardoMSU]

Flagrant 1

[Acid mouth]

**** Tennessee

[Bulldog1]

What does that mean? Acoountable for what? Ref making shitty calls. Let's hope they call shitty in the second in our favor then the Vols can be held accountable.

I mean we can’t blame the refs for everything. Yes, they are bad, but Tenn is kicking our guys in the throat

[msstate7]

0 to 2 fouls on Williams. Big sequence

[WeWonItAll(Most)]

There's Howland yelling at the ref y'all always wanted.

[preachermatt83]

Howland showing some fire

[WeWonItAll(Most)]

Announcer says that's only a flagrant because that Tennessee player was too strong. Nice.

[Red Sox Dawg]

Gotta make shots

[BeardoMSU]

****ing hell, these announcers are sucking TN's dicks off.

[LC Dawg]

I mean we can’t blame the refs for everything. Yes, they are bad, but Tenn is kicking our guys in the throat

And the knees.

[msstate7]

Big shot

[Liverpooldawg]

Ok, UT guy flattens Nick in open court. That was a deliberate knee to thigh, no call.

[Red Sox Dawg]

Can’t rebound

[msstate7]

We just cannot rebound with them

[BeardoMSU]

Announcer says that's only a flagrant because that Tennessee player was too strong. Nice.

No shit. It's horrible.

[Bulldog1]

Let’s rally for nick!

[WeWonItAll(Most)]

Ok, UT guy flattens Nick in open court. That was a deliberate knee to thigh, no call.

Moving screen

[HoopsDawg]

very difficult game for Tyson Carter. Just a rough matchup for him.

[msstate7]

Ado on the ground while everyone else crashing

[Red Sox Dawg]

Good defense now we have to score

[Bulldog1]

Delete

[Red Sox Dawg]

Holman needs to go to the rim

[msstate7]

Go to the basket, get to the line. Not that hard a concept

[LC Dawg]

Our guys need to watch tape of this game to learn how to rebound. Our guys stand around and wait for the rebound and Tenn attacks and gets the rebound. But if we would put some effort in we could be successful in fast breaks because of how they are attacking the paint to get rebounds.

[MaroonFlounder]

UT dominates the boards.

[preachermatt83]

We are playing hard. Like seeing that. No quit in em it seems.

[Red Sox Dawg]

Somebody needs to play who is willing to rebound

[preachermatt83]

Tenn is so dang physical

[Bulldog1]

Ado can’t catch anything

[LC Dawg]

Tenn is definitely physical but if you watch they also work hard to get position for rebounds.

[Leeshouldveflanked]

Tenn is so dang physical

Strength program vs jumping rope

[msstate7]

Ado cannot play in this game. They are destroying him

[preachermatt83]

Somebody needs to remind ado that this ain't soccer.. u can use ur hands. He needs a hand strengthening device.

[HoopsDawg]

Glad X is coming in. Terrible sequence from Holman.

[msstate7]

This is the type of game we miss herard.

[HoopsDawg]

Somebody needs to remind ado that this ain't soccer.. u can use ur hands. He needs a hand strengthening device.

He's just not strong enough with the ball.

[Red Sox Dawg]

Holman jacks up a 3 and gets beat by a smaller man on the other end. No Fire

[RougeDawg]

Our guys need to watch tape of this game to learn how to rebound. Our guys stand around and wait for the rebound and Tenn attacks and gets the rebound. But if we would put some effort in we could be successful in fast breaks because of how they are attacking the paint to get rebounds.

We need to learn some basic geometry. More times than not a ball bounces directly back toward where it was released from or on a specific angle from where it hits depending on shot arc and distance. They play enough and watch enough shots to know where the ball is bouncing if missed.

[BeardoMSU]

This is the type of game we miss herard.

Lol...only if you're talking about his 5 fouls...his feet would make things worse against TN.

[Bulldog1]

Get ado out

[BigEasyDawg]

why are these announcers all over tennessee's jock strap. I'm about to have to mute this crap.

[Dawgology]

Ado needs to sit. He’s terrible tonight. Completely sucks

[RocketDawg]

It's about to get out of hand.

[BeardoMSU]

why are these announcers all over tennessee's jock strap. I'm about to have to mute this crap.

Must be fruit flavored*

[msstate7]

Crank up the it?s the refs fault, it ova

[Red Sox Dawg]

Ado is physically weak. Here’s the game down by 10 with 13:50 to play

[HoopsDawg]

Howland needs to shake things up with some full court pressure or we are going to get worked over.

[WeWonItAll(Most)]

Nick has gotten better and better as the year's gone on.

[bluelightstar]

Unfortunate for Ado to have maybe one of his worst games of the year tonight

[Red Sox Dawg]

Our big men play scared

[HoopsDawg]

Unfortunate for Ado to have maybe one of his worst games of the year tonight

He's getting an education in toughness. This is like an old Bob Huggins Cincy team.

[Irondawg]

We just aren?t a physical team. Good news is that not many teams are but TN is and when you combine that with them playing a touch harder than we are and you get what we have here.

I?m impressed by TN. They are going to be a tough out in the tourney

Still a chance we make a run

[msstate7]

We seriously should press charges on tenn bigs for assault on our front court. They are bending our weak butts over their knee. NIT, it is

[Liverpooldawg]

Refs aside they are better than us. We are still really bad when we are forced into a half court offense.

[Bulldog1]

This is bad. We’re done

[HoopsDawg]

Damn it Howland, we can't win a half court game. Put on some fckin full court pressure.

[msstate7]

Refs! It?s the refs!

[Red Sox Dawg]

Hooked him

[msstate7]

Damn it Howland, we can't win a half court game. Put on some fckin full court pressure.

He hard headed. Tenn will win by 20+

[MarketingBully]

Refs are horrible. Chicken wing hooked em and 1....

[BeardoMSU]

Also, this crowd is ****ing pathetic.

[RougeDawg]

Q being lazy again. 2nd half same story from him. I

[HoopsDawg]

Refs aside they are better than us. We are still really bad when we are forced into a half court offense.

You gotta be one stubborn SOB to not play zone against UT.

[msstate7]

Also, this crowd is ****ing pathetic.

What exactly is there to cheer for? I feel sorry for our team right now

[RougeDawg]

Our big men play scared

No. They play weak. As in physically weak.

[WeWonItAll(Most)]

Refs aside they are better than us. We are still really bad when we are forced into a half court offense.

We look decent if we can drive and kick it out. We can?t drive on these guys.

[MarketingBully]

He hard headed. Tenn will win by 20+

We haven’t been beat by 20+ all year.

[msstate7]

We haven’t been beat by 20+ all year.

Well it coming

[BeardoMSU]

What exactly is there to cheer for? I feel sorry for our team right now

Its the same crowd that was there when we were up 8...

[Saltydog]

NT

[msstate7]

Atta boy, Q. We can beat them off the dribble. Do it

[RougeDawg]

We are in bonus now. We need to take it to the home and try to get FT?s early in shot clock.

[LC Dawg]

If Daymeon Fishback knows where the Tenn team is staying tonight those guys better lock their doors.

[MarketingBully]

The tone was set in the first half with the refs giving them 17 ft attempts. Just tough tough to overcome that.

[Bulldog1]

Ado is garbage. Just awful tonight

[msstate7]

Ado has PTSD

[RougeDawg]

F*cking Ado. Playing like a freshman in the first game.

[Bulldog1]

Get out of man defense. They’re killing us

[MarketingBully]

Ado has killed us the last two games.

[BigEasyDawg]

If Daymeon Fishback knows where the Tenn team is staying tonight those guys better lock their doors.

He better not stand up or he might flip the table over.

[RougeDawg]

They are 8-13 shooting this half.

[MarketingBully]

No fouls called when we drive...

[BigEasyDawg]

Why are we so bad at free throws?

[fader2103]

We have taken some stupid shots in the 2nd half.

[msstate7]

Ado might have a concussion

[Red Sox Dawg]

We just don’t have it tonight. This isn’t on the refs, it’s on Tenn kicking our ass and us playing scared and stupid

[msstate7]

We haven’t been beat by 20+ all year.

May be 30.

[MarketingBully]

The refs dictated this in the first half and we just didn’t recover.

[HoopsDawg]

Switch up the D!!!

[Bulldog1]

This isn’t even fun. Just embarrassing

[Doggie_Style]

We look like the team from January....just lazy and jacking covered 3?s.....we are done, maybe next year

[HoopsDawg]

The refs dictated this in the first half and we just didn’t recover.

Amazing that you could blame the refs for this.

[msstate7]

We just don’t have it tonight. This isn’t on the refs, it’s on Tenn kicking our ass and us playing scared and stupid

Thank you. Blaming the refs for this total neutering of our basketball team is ridiculous.

[Bulldog1]

Switch up the D!!!

Amen. Something!

[mparkerfd20]

There's always the year after next year

[preachermatt83]

Ado just can't handle super physical teams.

[bluelightstar]

most disappointing part of this is how many people got burned tonight. going to be hard to get them back in the Hump again.

[DCdawg]

Team getting out-worked and Howland getting out-coached at the moment.

[Bulldog1]

You won’t get any more open than that

[msstate7]

most disappointing part of this is how many people got burned tonight. going to be hard to get them back in the Hump again.

Yep. Huge set back for the program. Not fair, but it is

[preachermatt83]

I think you guys are underestimating just how good tn is. IVe been saying that for 2 days. We will beat LSU this weekend

[msstate7]

I think you guys are underestimating just how good tn is. IVe been saying that for 2 days. We will beat LSU this weekend

Maybe we beat LSU. We should beat LSU, but this ass kicking will take something out of us

[bluelightstar]

I think you guys are underestimating just how good tn is. IVe been saying that for 2 days. We will beat LSU this weekend

Unless they're the best team on our schedule by a wide margin, it's a disappointing result.

[LC Dawg]

I?m disappointed so far but when I watch this game I also realize that Tenn is good. I haven?t really watched them much this year. My question is how did Bama beat them by 28?

[msstate7]

I?m disappointed so far but when I watch this game I also realize that Tenn is good. I haven?t really watched them much this year. My question is how did Bama beat them by 28?

Bama can match them in the paint. We cannot

[preachermatt83]

Man Rick barnes is one heck of a basketball coach

[Turfdawg67]

There's always the year after next year

Ummm.... no. Howland is slowly building a winner. Next year IS the year. We are playing ahead of schedule this year. Unless we win the Tourney, it will be the NIT this year and I’m good with that.

[HoopsDawg]

We need to hire UT's S&C coach.

[Red Sox Dawg]

Holman has had a really bad game. He has to finish that dunk, but he can’t. Too weak. We really have to get stronger.

[Doggie_Style]

I think you guys are underestimating just how good tn is. IVe been saying that for 2 days. We will beat LSU this weekend

I don’t know how good Tenn is but we aren’t playing the same game they are....sad

Man Rick barnes is one heck of a basketball coach

I always thought he sucked. Couldn't do anything with Kevin Durant. But this team is really well coached.

most disappointing part of this is how many people got burned tonight. going to be hard to get them back in the Hump again.
Maybe so but I live 3 hours away and I?ve already decided to get season tickets next year. I?ve worked out what I can do with the tickets when I can?t make it but I feel these guys deserve asses in the seats.

I?m disappointed so far but when I watch this game I also realize that Tenn is good. I haven?t really watched them much this year. My question is how did Bama beat them by 28?

Bama actually got home calls. The way Tennessee plays is exactly like South Carolina on defense except they get away with it unlike South Carolina who actually gets called for fouls. Alabama got home court calls. Tennessee got calls tonight like they were at Thompson Boling Arena. I’d expect the refs to call the game like this at UTs home.
