Holman leads the league in missed dunks.
Even when fouled.


Love the pump and baseline drive.

Rosebowl tweet earlier in the game:

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.

I agree. This color commentator must be going back to the hotel with Rick Barnes. Adu gets hammered down low and it is because of the UT player’s “power and strength”

For the life of me I hope we win just so Dayneon Fishback will shut the 17 up. He's usually good but tonight is awful.

He’s gotten his hands on the last two balls off the rim. UT came away with both.

Trying to get UT that #2 seed.

Found an old tweet that sounds like this is the norm with this crew:

Die Hard Dore @Vandy_Nation. I will never in my entire life ever watch a game commentated by Daymeon Fishback and @DaveNealSports again. I try to be unbiased towards announcers because I am biased towards Vandy, but good lord you guys walked in the arena wearing your orange sunglasses

1. Get the TuneIn app (it's free)
2. Connect to a blutooth speaker.
3. Put the speaker near your TV.
4. Search "Mississippi State" on TuneIn.
5. Start playing the game on the radio app.
6. The radio broadcast will be ahead of the TV broadcast so listen for a key moment like a made basket or a ref's whistle.
7. Press pause on the TuneIn app.
8. When you see that play occur in the game, press the play button on the app.
9. It may take a minute or two to get it sync'ed but you'll never listen to TV guys again.

I'm done being angry now. We just do not have the strength in the post for a team like this. Maybe we can win the rest and see what happens.

I'm more pissed that we aren't on a 9 game streak instead of a 7.

Announcers are turrible!

Hopefully I never have to hear this douche go on and on about Tenn ball movement “side to side” ever again.

Sounds to me like Fishback is just identifying the way Tenn plays the game vs the way we play it. I got no problem with his commentary. We just should not be in the NCAA tourney with this team. We need to win two or three NIT games this year and build on it for next year. Even if we make it by some miracle, as a 13 seed, we will get skull drug and embarrassed. Let's get to NY in the NIT and see what happens.

This looks like a different team than the one we’ve watched for the last month or so. They look lackadaisical and just have a “poor us” walking, moping around attitude with no sense of urgency. It’s so frustrating to watch especially after they basically beg people (and rightfully so) to attend the game and be loud then put on a performance like this. Bring some energy and fire! With that being said UT just had the game of their lives with the most efficient offensive game and free throw shooting game I’ve watched all year and I realize that plays a role in this outcome but 11 straight made field goals is unacceptable and embarrassing. We don’t have a guy that can guard Schofield... this offseason we need to GET IN THE WEIGHT ROOM. Having Reggie Perry and Woodard will be nice next season.
