No. Players and Coaches plan accordingly and adjust.Not an excuse.
Athletes will tell you late games are more challenging, especially living in the eastern time zone.
That’s a weird take. UCLA is significantly further away from Rupp than Tennessee is. If we face Kentucky in the Sweet Sixteen, it’ll be in Indianapolis, which isn’t really Kentucky’s back yard though it’s closer to them than to us. Since Kentucky regularly brings more fans to Nashville for the SEC Tournament than we do, I suspect they would have the advantage nearly anywhere.I have no doubt that we can take them no matter where it is played. I do find it strange that IT IS US that has to travel to the opponents back yard instead of a neutral site.
Remember Tennessee Footballtraveling to Ohio State earlier this year.
