Really? Didyiu see some of the D effort. Waltzed back after a miss and watched Wall go by to hand a dunk to Cousins.

Have to let Wall go by. If you put a hand up or set your feet to take a charge............he gets the call and most likely an AND 1. Nothing you can do about it. refs suck

I don't like saying a team didn't win, and that we lost it.... but transition D really did kill us in this game. Without the multiple open court layups behind the defense this game isn't that close.

But is that UT's fault for taking advantage? No. We suck for not playing defense and deserve getting our asses handed to us.

Thats basketball.

Congrats Vols.

Appreciate the congrats but surely your kidding about transition points. I thought you lost it in the paint big time. Over all cousins got his ass handed to him

Good D enhances bad shooting nights.

We played solid D, UK missed some shots they normally hit, from there it kinda snowballed.

10-15 point game.

UK is still one of the best 3 teams in the country. (#1 in talent alone)

They are far and away the best team. With Orton, Liggins and Miller coming along, they might damn well cut down the nets. If the horses do come back, next year's a whitewash.

ESPN online says Huge Upset, "likely earned spot in the dance". That pisses me off. We were #17 in the country, who actually thought we weren't going to make the tourney?

Upset? Yes.
Huge Upset? No.
Put us IN the AA? Not hardly, we were in 2 weeks ago, with a average finish.

Solid finish could put us in a 4 spot.

Everyone has those plays. I've been one to criticize Scotty's effort at times, but I thought he brought it today, on both sides.

Agreed. The players we just beat are sick. If the team comes along, look out.

um.... did you watch the same game I watched? You guys had more open layups this game than you had all year. Add up the transition points and subtract that margin that you won by and see what you come up with.

We did give up some stuff in the paint, but without the transition let down this game goes the other way.

Yeah I don't get this either. It wasn't THAT big of an upset. They act like it was a Wade team winning today.

Awesome win! Why are you so negative right after it? Very lame. We've beat the #1 and #2 teams in the country, two of their combined 3 losses, and with really bad officiating to boot. This team could do some damage in the tourney, and anyone that can't see that is foolish. That isn't a guarantee that we'll get to the final four (there are no guarantees in the tourney), but we won't play a harder team than Kansas or Kentucky and we won't get worse refs either... I am excited about this postseason! :dance2:

Not negative at all. Just joking around about how this place overreacts no matter what happens. The universe was coming to an end as recently as 3 days ago, and now we're on top of the world. That's just basketball. We're in the tourney for sure now, and hopefully we can put a run together.

Youth and experience are the only things keeping them from waltzing this year. Experience teaches even effort, D and offensive decision making.

Weakness is shooting. They just don't really have a threat.
