Title: Final: No. 23 Ole Miss 62, Tennessee 56

This UT team is improving. They had their shots to take down Ole Miss, but Marshall Henderson was just unstoppable in the 2nd half. If he shoots normal -- even for him -- UT wins.

It's sad that our post play is so bad that Kenny Hall is even on the court.  :frown:

choked down the stretch. Had a chance but missed 4 straight FTs and shots. No killer instinct, TURNS THE BALL OVER too much, and does not turn the other team over enough

Henderson is a great shooter if you give him a window, and we failed over and over and over to successfully get around screens or switch. I'm not the least bit surprised he hit so many shots and we have our defense to blame. You knew he was looking to shoot.

And our offense is so dysfunctional at key moments it's not funny. McRae is a playmaker but he made too many mistakes tonight and there's nobody else we can rely on.

I only saw the very tail end in a bar and then missed the last minute...probably glad I did.  We were only down 2 when I left the room.  A guy that had watched the whole game said we were up big but surrendered a 12-3 stretch.   :frown:

We can only hope that in the rest of the season the team digs deep and finds a way to win at the end instead of choking it away.  Three of our last four losses were winnable, or at least 2/3 but we played simply awful in the last few minutes.
