It's not often that Tennessee goes into Rupp Arena with a really good chance of winning. This one of them. Kentucky is every bit as screwed up as UT right now and has zero depth across the front line. It'll be a squandered advantage if the Big Otange doesn't get the W.

I'm optimistic and skeptical at the same time. I don't know if we have such an "advantage", but it seems like the field is more level than last season.

I hope if (when) we start to lag on defense,we consider going into a zone or bring Josh Bone off the bench to play a modified pg. On the offensive end we should go to set plays for stretches if we struggle (like the Vanderbilt game), it really opens up the cutting lanes that our almost flex needs to be successful. If the lanes don't open up we get to watch the Melvin Goins "29 Seconds of Dribbling Show".

We play a style that gives UK trouble. I agree that it's a game that we should win. However, I don't think we will.

im not convinced on the really good chance of winning, we have a chance at winning, ill leave it at that

Put Mcmiss on the bench and give his minutes to Bone and Tn has a chance.I just hope we dont see the line up of TH,BW,SM,SP,TG.We have seen this lineup too many times and nothing good never comes out of it.

Line: KY(-9); The only apparent advantage is on the boards; maybe Williams goes triple double...nah.

Scotty Will play IMO however unless they shoot him up with the good stuff, they way I saw him walking around campus....He was limping badly over the weekend.

I have a tough time thinking they'll put together a solid enough effort to win this game. They just have too many problems and not enough answers. This team just isn't very good. They have a lot of bodies and not enough good players.

I bet it's a really tight game.

If this is the case, the 2 teams play until sometime Wednesday! Neither team seems skilled at winning close games. :ermm: The Vols might be a little better than KY...but not by much.

Knight will abuse us

This. He'll slash inside and get Williams and Fields in big foul trouble, then it's all downhill from there. While I know what we're capable of, I'm just not sold on our teams consistency, because there is none. Not sure about this one tonight....

The Vols can win tonight at UK. I wouldn't count them out at any rate with the way UK has been playing.

He should give us a significant amount of those points back, he is very turnover prone from what I have watched this year.

Knight and Lamb will combine for over 30 point from behind the 3 point line. Book it! We will not win this game because of our rebounding and perimeter defense.
