College Hoops Around The Country [TN opponents, RPI, others]

[TheMookieMonster]

Back and forth affair in Bud Walton. Not much separation for either team.

 

[golfballs]

Auburn runs that play like clockwork

 

[golfballs]

Wisconsin shaping up to win another close one. Certainly will catch up to them at some point

TAMU getting blown out at home to LSU for their 7th straight loss. They have to travel to Auburn this weekend.

 

[VolPack22]

Auburn is Proving they are a good team but look how Frail they are crowd noise seams to have them shook they are most definitely not a automatic L on the schedule for us in a few weeks

Auburn has had some luck this season but Arkansas has been playing like one of the best teams in the country after that rough patch in the middle of the season. They started out 9-0, then lost 5 out of 6, and now have won their past 8 games. This is the Arkansas team everyone was predicting to contend for the SEC Championship. This is one team that I would not want to see in our region in the NCAAT.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

This game is crazy.

 

[golfballs]

Neither team playing their best but they are battling. This is why I like college basketball

I think there are three SEC teams that are strong contenders to make it to the final four. Arkansas is a very good team.

Sure would be nice to have Kessler on the Vols. 16pts, 15 boards, 7 blocks. That’s impressive.

 

[golfballs]

Michigan is going down the drain! Hunter Dickinson needs to transfer to Tennessee!

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Auburn has had ample opportunity to put this thing away and they have crapped down their own leg on offense the past few possessions. Tie game. Under 1 minute to go.

 

[The Dog]

Well, I can't help myself, I know I should be for Auburn, but Go Hogs

 

[golfballs]

Get Kessler on the perimeter

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Are you KIDDING me with that final possession Auburn?!

Selfish possessions.

 

[TooLegit2Quit]

Pearl pocketing that timeout to end up with that look to end regulation, woof.

Takes me back.

 

[Vol49er]

What an absurd shot. I would be furious were I an Auburn fan

 

[bleedingTNorange]

Can you imagine the backlash Barnes would get if he Chandler took a shot like that at the end?

Barnes would have an aneurysm, rightfully

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Some selfish, me-first basketball down the stretch by Auburn. It’s like Wendell Green refuses to let anyone else be the hero. Stuff like that is what will get you beat in the games that matter in March.

No idea what Pearl was thinking not calling a timeout there.

 

[The Dog]

Selfish possessions.

Agree, Auburn's guards need to make sure Smith and/or Kessler touch the ball every possession, but especially the last one

Am I correct in remembering that he almost never calls a timeout in those situations? I think thats a belief of his

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Wendell Green. Man, what is he doing….

 

[Stoerner Fumbles]

Yes. He loves to watch teams play through it. I don’t think it would’ve changed the outcome, but watching the runs Michigan put on us in the tournament while he refused to call timeout was agonizing.

KD Johnson’s confidence is a double edged sword
