This game worries me more so than any other left on the schedule. Mike Anderson teams run and run and then run some more. I haven't watched UF this year, was their style of play to get up and down the floor as many times as possible? If so, I feel a bit better about Wednesday's game.

Florida tried for 40 minutes to press and make us play fast.

But Arky us much better at it. They still suck, but they aren't just a team of soft, lazy guards looking to pull at any second.

Hopefully we've turned the corner on the road, but Arky is a lot like we were.
Different team away from home.
Hoping we won't be their turning point game.

arky is not a good road team. vandy worries me the most, even if it is a home game. alabama will probably have their 4 guys back soon, and that will be tough on the road. lsu is no pushover, lately either. lot of tough games left.

Arkansas hasn't won a road game yet. They lost by 22 on the road against Georgia. Tennessee really should have this one.

In order to get to the magic number of 18 wins, we need all of the wins we can get. So, in my mind, we are in the tournament already. Every game is a must win and if you lose, you go home.
Had we won the Austin Peay game, the 1st UGA game, the 1st Ky. game, the 1st Memphis game, or the Charleston game, we would be in much better shape.
Some games are close wins and some are close loses.

We match up pretty good with Bama.
LSU will be our hardest game.
Vandy won't play well at TBA.

I was thinking we might have turned the corner on the road when we lost close games to LSU and Alabama. But then we lose by 22 to georgia...at least they beat mississippi state.

We've beaten vanderbilt, michigan, and mississippi state at home and are 17-0 there...but since this is in knoxville you guys should handle us. Dont understand it lol

No matter what happens with the other games, I'm looking forward to Stokes and the Vols doing the size 20 stomp on Vandy at TBA on March 3.

they like to yes arky is much better at it though. arkansas is much like pearls first teams, run whenever you get a chance, press as much as you can, just play very fast.

im glad we have this game at home. they arent good on the road, we are better at home, we control the ball better at homa and t.o will be crucial, we shoot better at home. i really think we'll be ok and should win this one, but as i said if this was on the road id be worried.

we match up very good with bama if they're missing 4 starters :)

i really think we match up great with LSU, they arent that good i dont think, they really almost lost last night to alabamas JV team. they have the big freshman hamilton who is their best player, but so far this year our posts have outplayed premier posts and hamilton isnt a premier post. i really think being a freshman, maymon will be able to push him around and really frustrate the guy IMO. they got a real quick guard who was mr. basketball in ky, but once again a freshman, and i just dont think he's that good either. IMO we match up great with them.

vandy still scares me because they are a very experienced team and can flat out stroke. with that said they play @rupp, then vs. florida, then @tenn, that's a very tough stretch of games and hopefully they'll be a bit gassed from those games.

yea let me re-word, im still worried about it, but i feel much better with it being here at TBA. in other words, i think with it here we win, if it was @ arky i dont know that id pick us. they are a very good home team.
