Great teams win ugly games. Bama played well and probably deserved to win. We edged them out in this one though. A W is a W.
UT got pulled outside, guarding way beyond the arc, which opened a lot for them to attack the lane. Happened over and over. I thought Barnes would go to a zone. Bama was very active and used a tone of motion and hard screens.I am curious. Thoughts?
He tried a zone for one play that I remember and they gave up a wide open 3 in the corner so he a abandoned it immediately.UT got pulled outside, guarding way beyond the arc, which opened a lot for them to attack the lane.

Once again, I thought the officials allowed our opponent a lot of leeway.
Almost the same as UF in football. We have the better team a lot and even a lead and still lose. Need to just put teams away and keep them down. In this game they laid off Petty or turned their back and he quickly darted to an open position and his teammates knew he was hot and got the ball to him before UT's defender could recover. Wide open shot with no pressure. G.Williams blocked his final 3 pt. attempt or it would have probaly hit too. It balances out because Admiral shot the lights out awhile back when he had 30-35 pt. game against Gonzaga. Chit happens.BECAUSE---Alabama is in Tennessee's head. And that is just the cold hard truth. Even when we are supposed to whip em, we either lose or barely get a W. Pisses me off. Been that way since 1972.
