You are Locked on Balls, your daily podcast on the Tennessee Volunteers, part of the Locked On Podcast Network, your team every day.

Welcome in to Locked on Walls here on the Locked On Podcast Network.

My name is Josh Ward alongside Eric Kane.

We have a lot to get to on today's show.

We're going to dive into basketball, football, it's signing day, a story coming out with now a

former Tennessee commitment. We'll get to that and then just kind of tell you where things

stand on a different kind of signing day because of what this year is for Tennessee and

the new staff, of course, still a work in progress for

Josh Eppel. So we'll get to all of that. But Eric, I would say we have to lead with basketball

after the ball's loss at Ole Miss on Tuesday night. That was a disappointing one for Tennessee.

Yeah, it was very much a disappointing game for Tennessee, 52 to 50, the final score, just a combined,

you know, 33 turnovers,

35 fouls, each team combined to miss, you know, 11 free throws, just an ugly, ugly game.

And that kind of played into what Old Miss was trying to do. And, you know, Tennessee offensively just went, you know, ice cold in the second half. I think they're in the stretch

run with, you know, less than about six minutes left. I think Ole Miss went on a, you know, ice cold in the second half. I think they're in the stretch run with, you know, less than about six minutes left. I think Ole Miss went on a, you know, Tennessee missed its last

13 shots or something like that. And so you can't expect to have that type of offensive performance

and be good teams. I mean, Ole Miss is not a not a really good team. I mean, this is a big win for old miss, played well tonight and hats off too of them, you know, played, played well last night. But, you know, Tennessee can't expect to have

that type of offensive performance, you know, later in February and in March that this,

you know, team was to accomplish all the goals that it set out to accomplish. But Josh, I feel

like this is kind of the story, you know, with Tennessee's offense this year. It's just there's no consistency.

You have a really good game against Kansas and then you, you drop this. You had a really nice game against Missouri earlier in the season. And then you, you know, a week and a half later,

you had two losses where the offense didn't even show up against, you know, Florida was one
