Vols vs Miss State

Those volunteers better lace up their work boots, bring the lunch pails and hard hats. It's gonna be a work night tonight against some hungry bulldogs!

Ours starts valentine's day. I'm ready for it!

I predict another ugly, close game.

Rebounding will be crucial.

IF Lanier doesn't come out of his slump, it'll be a long night.

We ain't skeered of no cow college! (Although I remember what happened in Starkville last year)

Your lanier is on fire. Don't think we can close the gap. Nice bounce back from that nashville trip. Hopefully we fare better in columbia SC on saturday.

Caught part of the second half. Vols win 68-56…GBO!

I thought they looked good tonight. State is a good team a tough team and we handled them pretty easy. We aren't a team that is going to score 100 points a game. We play lock down defense and score 70 a game and we will win the vast majority of our games.

The defense is badass, but this team can only win when the outside shots are falling. On cold shooting nights they don't have much of a chance.

same could be said for miss state…

Both teams play big boy defense.

The difference last night was home court, and has been mentioned since the start of the season, winning at home is a must.

TN has the best 3 pt defense in the country. To beat it, you have to attack the basket. But, we now have some shot blockers to protect, so it's going to be tough for teams to score.

As has been the case the last few years, if we can get 2-3 others to take some of the load off Lanier, we can make some noise.

At Auburn will be interesting Saturday night. Hopefully we can keep it close and have a chance at the end, but it'll be tough.
