Even on a miserable shooting night, Tennessee coach Rick Barnes is convinced the shots will fall sooner or later. The 18th-ranked Volunteers hit just 37% of their shots from the field - and 16% from 3-point - but still came away with a 56-53 win over Mississippi State Tuesday night. ''If our guys are taking good shots, I can't be concerned with how we're shooting,'' Barnes said.
