Well, I'm pulling double duty today and will probably be a bit late, but the Vols and Bulldogs are scheduled to tip around 3:30 p.m. EDT.
Let's keep the discussion in here.

Beating hapless miss state does nothing. Miss state sucks to be quite honest and we have no excuses if we do not win this game. We are the better basketball team

The LSU-UGA game is probably going to OT, so you're good

I am here at the game and there is definitely not nowhere near as many big orange fans as I was expecting.
Maybe some more will stream in but pretty weak attendence if you ask me, particularly for a team some picked to win the tourney.

I expect some of that is the time of the game. Hard to get off work at 2:30 CT on a weekday to go watch basketball.

I am sure that is a part of it for any school but still very weak considering it is here in the state of Tennessee.
On a side note...there are a ton of Kensucky fans here and they're not even playing in this session.

i disagree.. it keeps us in the Tournament. I think most projections have us in right now. Losing to MSU would likely kill our chances. So, in that sense, i think winning this game keeps us in, and i dont believe a loss to Bama bursts our bubble. First things first, though... gotta win today.

The Alabama game is all that matters in this tournament. Again we are the better team. If we lose today we do not deserve to be in the tournament. If we win today we have beat a nobody. That is what i was saying. If i was a member of the selection committee I wouldn't even weigh wins vs teams like miss state.

Sure there are lots of KY fans at the game, most have saved up all year for this trip and getting off work is only a problem if you are employed.....

The TV crew is keeping a running tally of the # of 3pt shots McBee has made in his career. Now at 158 3s versus only 21 2 pointers made...

We're missing WAY too many bunnies!
Edit: not that it's hurting us very much in this game
