The Tennessee men’s basketball team needs to check to see if anyone on the squad has broken any mirrors lately.
The Volunteers have suffered outrageously bad luck lately, losing Saturday on their second buzzer-beater in a matter of days.
First, the Vanderbilt Commodores conjured some Memorial Magic as they hit a last-second shot on Wednesday to take down Tennessee and snap an 11-game losing streak to the Vols.
Tennessee didn’t find a better outcome against Missouri on Saturday in Knoxville.
As time was expiring in the SEC contest, Tennessee inexplicably got called for an offensive foul while attempting free throws (?!) before Missouri stunned the home crowd as Tigers grad student DeAndre Gholston hit the long 3-pointer for the 86-85 victory.

It’s tough to lose to lose one buzzer-beater during the week, much less two.
Tennessee coach Rick Barnes is going to want to work on situational basketball with his guys in practice this week if the Vols are to make waves in March.
Tennessee has lost consecutive games by a single point for the first time since Dec. 17 and 21, 2010.
The last time the Volunteers lost back-to-back conference games by one point was Feb. 21 and 25, 1981. pic.twitter.com/LDqIL8nMML
