Agree, but I think we beat both OM and Bama. KY will be the big game. Won't matter much for SEC standings, we're going to end up 6-8 depending on some other teams and miss the double bye in the SEC touney.

But we may need the win over a ranked KY team to secure a host spot. We don't want to go into the SEC tourney needing a certain number of wins to get to host. I'm worried about our legs in a 3 games in 3 days format.

Have the same concerns. If LVs are relegated to play on the first day (Wed), do they have the endurance to play 3-5 days in a row at a high level given the pace CKC wants to play? That sounds like a tall order.

Constant theme for the past 4 weeks. So CKC isn’t up to your standards in handling the refs. OK, but some may see it differently. Not knocking heads here, but her style is not unlike many other successful men’s and women’s coaches in history, maybe she knows a way to do it differently than yours.

I think she is doing great so far, in all regards.

Don't think we'll fall low enough to have to play Wed. Sure hope not. I think Fla, Ga, Mizz, TAM, and Miss St about have those spots sown up. We're looking at 4 in a row if we get to the finals. Remains to be seen if that's too many.

Once we get thru the SEC tourney, there's a week off before the NCAA and then in that tourney it's not back to back so I'm less worried.

In the meantime, what we can't have is a "bad" loss to anyone not ranked. That could cost hosting.

a gamecock fan would be fine with TN not maturing at the helm

gamecocks v LV's,,,who you for?

I know you like TN too,,,but as I have said of players, the same stands true of fans

""Some teammates want to see you succeed, until your level of success passes theirs""

I can't wrap my head aound folks who actually believe the refs job the Vols, in every sport, every single game. If refs are crooked, you'd think they'd change up teams to cheat for just to keep the public off balance. Do you really think it's personal against the Vols with every single ref and ref organization in the world? Are we that important?

For lack of a better term, I call this weird phenomenon The Crybaby Syndrome. If you look at other teams' blogs and forums, you will find more than a few complaints about the poor quality of refs, but there is nothing like the incessant whining we see here. True, realistic fans find fault with lousy officiating, but acknowledge that it affects both teams.

I may have won the contest, not sure, I’ve only played 5-6 times this year, lost the last one by one point, but I think I’ve been the winner a few times and came ever so close a few other times. It’s fun to try.

It’s always best to keep emotions out of a prediction.

So many Negative Nellies on this board! This team is way ahead of schedule and playing with great effort and heart. Did these people really think we would win the SEC and contend for a national title this year??? Jeese just enjoy the journey that no one thought we would be on this season. No one is going to want to face the Orange in the NCAA!

Syracuse Orange? I kid, I kid.

Nobody expects this team to win a championship. However, fans live in the moment, not next year. And most have sensible expectations with the ceiling being sweet 16 and the floor of first round exit. But that won’t stop fans from being hopeful, esp. as an underdog.

I would have just played instead of fouling there. I would tke my chances on stopping them and getting two before I would giving them free throws.

So does anyone really believe the refs weren't worth 6 pts for LSU today?

We won't win these games until we figure out how to get the refs to treat us fairly. That is the difference in all of these close losses.

Refs didn’t cost us the game. We didn’t get enough stops and lost to a better team. It happens

I do follow the LV’s closely and pull for them as you know. I love following the Tennessee Ladies. But to answer your question I am a SC fan first, but you knew that already. That is the team I started following 15 years ago because they are the team from the state I live in half of the year and I enjoy WBB more than MBB.

I have never tried to hide that fact here. And I have never been disegenuous about anything I post. I believe in character, we have had this discussion many times already when we butt heads and I have had ample reason to question your character. Then those posts get deleted when you text freak and ask him to do you a solid.

You have never learned to not challenge me on character issues. Your character is well known. At your age you won’t learn your lesson. But you would be wise to stay away from questioning me on character issues. We both know how that ends every time, in spite of all the deleted posts you beg Freak for. What a joke, you of all people questioning my character. You have been trying to underhandidly torpedo every UT coach the past 12 years while masking as a fan. Everyone knows it.

If you push me again, even one more time, you will feel it. I won’t hold back. Best you let it go, something tells me you are too oblivious to do so, but I saved all those texts before they were deleted. Don’t ever respond to me again. That is your safe place. I know a fraud when I see one, most others here do as well. Don’t try to be cute and counter, I will have no mercy at that point. Note that I have avoided your texts for over a year mostly, to avoid any conflict after you had your stuff with me deleted several times. I stay away. Now you come at me?

Now see if you can get freak to ban me before the **** hits the fan should you try to reply. I can deal with it. Husky Nan banned me on the boneyard for way less. I have been on this site for over 11 years and have been an honest and respectful member all of those years. I have many friends here now. I just won’t tolerate any **** from you in reference to honesty and character given the company.

Yep, IMO 99.9% of refs are trying the best they can, to call is as fair as possible. They are all human and if a HC is a well-known name HC vs a nobody or a newcomer, the human nature aspect on the 50/50 calls that could go either way goes to the alpha HC. It's just human side of us in the ref basically protecting themselves from any backlash. It's not planned they do it instinctively. JMO

I disagree. The SEC refs are corrupt and cater to the higher regarded teams. That's in ALL SPORTS!!

They sure as Hell helped LSU. Williams hooks on a drive late and gets the call and LSU gets 2 points . We could have won in spite of the refs if we do the little things late, I agree, but the refs were terrible the whole game. Mulkey got every call.
