Title: Vols win 61-47 over Mississippi State........
Post by: droner on January 08, 2015, 05:20:12 EST
An ugly road win is still a road win.

The Vols are going to have a tough time with only nine players. Especially playing pressure defense and fouling so much. They fouled out three tonight.

But for tonight, a win is a win.

Butt ugly. But a win. 1and 0 in SEC play.

A conference road win is great no matter how it comes. I hope Mostella's ankle is okay . . . our bench is awfully short already.

That effort by Mississippi State may have been the worst I've ever seen from an SEC team not coached by Wade Houston. But I'll take it.

Tennessee won its SEC opener, and just as the Vols were finishing up, Cal tipped off its Pac 12 opener and lost to USC. Fourth loss in five games for the Golden Bears.

And Seth Davis still hasn't tweeted to make sure we know about that in Knoxville. I'm shocked.

Some of those fouls were questionable at best!  There was one play where the UT player never touched the guy on a lay-up attempt but the ref still called a foul.  I will never understand a ref thinking something is going to happen and blowing the whistle when nothing does happen.

Officiating was terrible. It was bad both ways, but UT caught the brunt of it -- which is to be expected because of this team's reputation of fouling by playing over-aggressive defense, but still...
