If someone had told me prior to the game Uros and BHH would combine…

Usually . . . The greatest predictor of the future is past performance. There was a reason almost every UT fan was saying during the Longwood game “gosh, I worry we are not saving some of these made shots for the next game.”

UT consistently had scoring droughts this year. It was highly probable they would have one at the wrong time in the tournament. Shooting below 20% from 3 was something this team did. If Chandler had not played out of his mind . . . Our 2/18 performance would have been a double digit blowout.

I don’t know why . . . But scoring droughts have been a thing with UT basketball for several years.

ZZ / JJJ / and Vescovi had open looks in the second half . . . And shot brick after brick.

I blame our scoring droughts on UT not recruiting any pure scorers and Barnes insistence that defense is more important than offense.

No offense to the kid but I think Fulky will be easy to replace. We need some toughness on this roster especially in the paint. Outside of ON, none of our posts looks like someone who can body up and be physical down low. Honestly, I think ZZ might be our toughest player.

I have loved watching Fulky play over the years, but I hate say it, he must have put his mouth where his money was, and ate way too much junk food, like Pals. He should have gained a world of strength during his time at Tennessee, but it appeared that he regressed instead. As much as I appreciated his effort and school spirit, I think it is a shame that he was like a rag doll in the last couple of seasons.

Obviously, I'm just guessing here, but even when he got COVID, it took the rest of the season(s) for him to recover.

for 13 points and 11 rebounds and TN would have only seven TO’s I would‘ve bet A LOT of money TN would win this game going away. Funny thing is no one played awful to counterbalance their effort, although huge credit to Michigan for making sure Santi wasn’t going to beat them.

Uros probably played his best game 9 points, 9 rebounds . 2 steals, and a Block in 25 minutes.KC played well. The rest 3pointers
1.JJJ-0 for 6
2. ZZ 0 for 4
3. SV 1 for 5
4. Their 7 foot 1 guy hit 3 three-pointers
and 27 points, Brooks 23, 50 points by 2 guys
All 4 of these things were out of the ordinary and this is what got us beat.
3 guys we depend on went 1 for 15 on 3's a guy that just hit 8 threes in 32 games this year hit the lottery and hit 3 in one game.
This is why we got the L
