TENNESSEE
Tennessee went on the road and got a much-needed win Wednesday night against Ole Miss — a team that has been playing rather well lately.
The Vols win, however, came in controversial fashion as Tennessee’s Admiral Schofield took a charge on the Rebels’ last possession of the game. Ole Miss head coach Kermit Davis lost his mind over the call, too.
Schofield made a split decision on the charge call, and he was rewarded for his instincts. However, he knows that that call can go either way.
#Vols’ Admiral Schofield on winning game by drawing charge from 30 feet with 1.1 seconds left: I knew it was a charge, but you never know if you’re gonna get the call. Either way, I just promised Coach Barnes I’d never try that again.

Following the controversial foul call, Ole Miss fans threw trash on the court, and Schofield had some rather frank comments about it.
Admiral Schofield on Ole Miss fans throwing things on the court:
"I have never had cups thrown at me, but I expect it here in Mississippi. I know last year I was called the governor, so I guess they didn't like me being the governor anymore. It sucks."

#Vols’ Admiral Schofield: I don’t think I’ve ever had a cup thrown at me — not just in basketball, but, like, in life. That was something else.

With the win over Ole Miss, Tennessee stayed tied with Kentucky and LSU atop the SEC standings with three games remaining. It’s going to be a fun finish.
Ole Miss fans being the a$$e$ they are.
Not your fight little brother wanna be
What rock did you climb out of little girl? Another arrogant snob.
Thanks for making state fans look bad. Go back to eccc
Everybody knows you’re an Ole Miss fan. You are so jealous of your big brother that you have to come on website and post the same nonsense 95% of the time. I know you are sick of your school and really can’t blame you.lol
Everyone knows you didn’t go to State you’re just an inbred living in his moms trailer. Go back to ECCC
You’re making our fan base look bad. I bet you’ve never even been to the junction lol what a pathetic loser hahaha
Ole Miss fans. Best cup throwers in the SEC. Also the worst losers.
But among the best whiners. “Oh, the officials gave UT the game. Wah, wah, wah.” Hell, if the officials had called the game accurately half the um team would have fouled out. UT did not play very well as a whole, but um played a very good game right up until crunch time and simply folded under the pressure.
Was not the thing to do but cups were not thrown at younAdmiral but at the officials who gave you the game. You sound like Jesse Smollett.
He was on the court, yes? So he probably feels like they were being thrown at him too, you know, being the opposing team and all.
Actually, Ole Miss fans are extremely accurate cup throwers. Cup Throwing Mechanics is one of the core classes for earning a degree there.
Actually two Vols were hit in the head with something thrown by fans when exiting the floor. Not sure if Admiral was one but doubt he is lieing about it. The fans being upset is understandable. They don’t have the advantage of watching it in slow mo on tv at home. I’m sure they all know now it was a good and very easy call to make. If you want to throw stuff on the court do everything you can to avoid the players and coaches and anyone else. Purposefully throwing at an opponent is low class.
LoCards…it’s Jussie Smollett. Please wake up and pay attention.
Apologies to Admiral Schofield, his teammates, coaches and the entire Tennessee fan base. The actions at the end of last night’s game were classless and inexcusable. That should NEVER happen – anywhere or anytime.
The majority of Ole Miss alumni and Mississippians DO NOT support or condone that type of boorish behavior.
Classy statement Rebel, Thanks.
Ole Miss Coach instigated crowd reaction by throwing jacket. Schofield drew a charge no question. Coach and Crowd were just jerks that wanted a result that they did not earn. They wanted to intimidate Refs to win game with Bad Officating.
It was clearly a charge as TV replays showed. The same way Williams last second foul against LSU was. It was a risky but excellent play by Scho.
