Our BasketVols deserve more credit for their win today. #2 Houston lost back-to-back road games this week against unranked teams. #8 Arizona lost on the road against unranked Wazzou. #6 Kentucky lost at unranked A&M. #25 Texas lost at unranked West Virginia. #19 San Diego State had an unranked road loss.

Not to mention the unranked losses earlier this week for #1 Purdue, #23 Gonzaga, #3 Kansas, #21 Clemson, #9 Oklahoma (also lost to Kansas on the road), and #17 Colorado State.

Vols loss at Miss State was 1 of ~17 losses for ranked teams this week. Only 1 or 2 of those losses were for the ranked home team. The rest were on the road.

"Are we a Final Four team?" I'd say there's a darn good chance at least 1 of the teams that lost this week on the road to an unranked team will be in the Final Four. Could be all four. The Georgia game today never should have gotten to where it did, but our guys' comeback was what a Final Four caliber team does.

Except he recovered the fumble by Tom Brady to clinch the Super Bowl win. So, being an Eagles fan, I have to disagree. I will give you the last 2 years when he has been hurt half the time, tho

He had his moments; but, he just never felt right there, from day one. I was living up in Philly his first few years, going and seeing him, and...it just never seemed a good place for him. One thing, yeah...he could never really stay healthy. I guess, maybe, 2019 was his best season??

If Aidoo, Awaka, Santi and JJJ play with more consistency during the tournament we are a final 4 team but that is a big if. Basketball is a marathon

These grind games are just what you need for March when scoring seems to go way down.

I get that. I’ve officiated and coached over the years. The college product is just very inconsistent.

I’m not going to spend the time, but there is no way you would disagree when watching the Dillingham play where he kicks out and trips an A&M player and the A&M call that negated a 3 pointer. In fact, I made a comment in the bball forum about it before the second call was made. Dillingham kicks out everytime he shoots. There are certain officials who are just bad at their job, and yet we see them every year. I presume that the people making those decisions just don’t care.

i tried watching the highlights but it didn’t include either play or at least i don’t think they were included. i looked up the rule on kicking out your leg when shooting…. It appears that it is legal and the rule is pretty generic…. It is left up to the refs opinion if contact was intentional or bad enough to warrant an offensive foul.
