Tennessee now has the nation’s third longest streak in the AP poll (49 weeks), behind Houston (75) and Kansas (54). Arizona (47) is the only other team above 30.

Edit: I see now there’s already a thread detailing that

Nice to see Mizzou get close at the half. Oats is such a jack wagon pushing the Mizzou player.

I don’t think it’s worthy of suspension, but it’s certainly of a warning from the league office about contact with opposing players

Would be nice if Missouri could pull this off, but I have no faith in that mediocre team.

Was it a Woody Hayes moment?

Man obv I’m biased but I certainly think he should be suspended at least for a game. You cannot set a precedent of it being acceptable to lay hands on players

Should’ve been a T and probably an ejection.

Mizzou is out here missing fast break dunks and hitting the side of the backboard on corner 3’s. What the hell happened to them after last year???

If this league had any integrity (it doesn’t) it would suspend him for a game. The league might release a statement and/or send education to the league’s coaches but nothing more. Bama privilege.

I thought the Mizzou player should have retaliated by pushing Oats into the third row.

Any player who pulls that on any opposing coach would get slapped with a suspension. Nate Oats is the only coach in this league and one of the few around the country who could get off free for pushing an opposing player.

No, it was nothing. The guy came into his teams huddle and he brushed him away.

The key to a win against Alabama on Saturday afternoon is guarding the three point line with gusto and beating Alabama on the glass.

I’d gladly take my suspension. Of course I was just a bench warmer defensive specialist that got in for only a few minutes a game, so it would have just been part of my job description.

Yeah, they can heat up in an instant like they just did. Dangerous offense but they play little defense. Need to guard the perimeter and attack the basket.

Not exactly. It happened right after a whistle, and Bama had not huddled yet.

 

[VolsAgainstTheWorld15]

The trick to stopping Alabama schematically is pretty simple. Their offensive scheme isn’t complex. They run it well, though. Gotta be able to guard the ball. Everything they do comes off of spreading the floor, driving the ball, and kicking to open shooters. Stay in from of the driver and those open kick outs shouldn’t be there. They run their offense well, though. Will be a tough test for us.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Alabama had 55 points with like 8 or 9 minutes to go and now has 80 with 3 left. They can score in a hurry. Scary stuff.

Looked to me like Oates tried to say something to Gates at the end of the game, who wasn’t too interested in hearing it

 

[Vol49er]

N.C. State in a tight one with wake forest on ACC network. 75-72 state with 49 seconds left, would go to 5-1 in the ACC with a win

Gates looked like a man who would have sooner punched Oates than listen to a word he had to say.

He didn't come into their huddle. The altercation started there and then there was a tv timeout so Bama players came off the bench. And he did more than brush him away. He pushed him twice while also talking **** to him. Similar to his ******** antics after beating LSU in the SECT a few years ago.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Alabama scored 42 (!!!) points in the final 9 minutes of their game against Missouri. I mean…..

 

[VolGee4]

NC State and Syracuse are going to end up being solid wins.
