Looks like UT may be the catalyst that finally sees some big schools break away from the NCAA.

We will have more games like this...people that want these players to change who they are as a shooter-scorer at this point in their career are setting themselves up for disappointment after disappointment.

We have several players that are prone to extremely cold spells and hot streaks as shooters, often several if them at the same time..and that is not going to change at this point. It is and has been a flaw, and will remain a flaw.

Still...we lost this game at the FT line...if we had shot a good percentage there, we still win the game despite Pat Adams repeatedly doing his thing and shutting off momentum.

The hope is that we don't have a game like this in March, and if we do have a game like this, we better force the other team into a bad shooting night or we will go home.

i think we missed 10 lay ups too. just frustrating that a team that's this good and had shown to be extremely consistent and efficient offensively lately is still capable of throwing up an absolute clunker of a game offensively. you know opponents are going to key on DK defensively, but with the experience we have on this team, you'd think it'd be a "pick your poison" match up and someone else, probably a couple of other guys on this team, could/should benefit from a scoring opportunity standpoint. but that's not happening. I love JJJ, and i think the world of him...but that guy should be a lot more aggressive with the ball in his hands and be able to get to a shot. he can't. Santi, love him too....but he's been very inconsistent.....long story short, i don't get the impression either of those guys wants the ball right now? it's weird. if ZZZ was 4" taller...man he'd be that guy. that kid...all heart...but his size does limit him from a scoring standpoint.

anyway, i know it's sound like i'm in the "sky is falling" mode....i know it is not. but last night is exhibit A as to why we haven't been able to break thru yet. we're as capable of beating anyone we play as we are looking like a JV team. and you "hope" the JV team stays home in March....cause it only takes one time for them to show up at that point in the season. fingers crossed.

having said all of that..............i will not be surprised one bit now if they come out Saturday night and play much harder, and extremely well. i'm not sure we win the game mind you, but i bet UK gets a totally different version of Tennessee. as salty as i am right now, i know CRB and that team will not take last night lying down.

Is Charlie Baker the worst NCAA president of all time? The guy has lost every topic and is going to orchestrate the end of the NCAA.

Well then wouldn’t he be the best NCAA president, if he ensures it’s demise?

As kids we all read The State of Tennessee v. John Thomas Scopes trial in our history books.
We about to make history again..the NCAA evolved from apes.

I majored in it!

We don’t even need throwin’ mustard this time.

 

[ConwayFitty]

Now, it almost requires other schools/states to join us. Otherwise, we can say, "Look. We are going to court and fighting the NCAA legally to make sure that your rights as student athletes are protected. What is XXX school/state doing to help?"

 

[KB5252]

For what it’s worth, the AG has been working on this for a few months now.

I think many have, rumors that others will join as well.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

According to this there are at least 10 schools interested in joining us.

True, but like members of a club, you can always part ways and go form a different club.

I feel like we fans are the battered infantry on the ground shaking their fists in jubilee as the F-18 Hornets fill the sky over us with a payload that is gonna leave a mark in Indy.

Skipping the French's and going straight to haymakers!

That's how it was intended........ That's not what's happened though.

I’m seeing Bama, Georgia, Florida fans defending us on boards all over the place. Crazy days.

Tennessee, Virginia AGs sue NCAA over NIL rules

 

[Orange_Crush]

Wait. What?

 

[ConwayFitty]

Seems appropriate that the Gol durn' TENNESSEE VOLUNTEERS Should be the ones leading this fight! NCAA forgot that we jump at the opportunity to stand up for a cause we believe in.

 

[Volsdeep4]

Oh boy! This is wild! FAFO

 

[All_Vol87]

Ladies and gentleman, I wholeheartedly believe this is the final nail in the coffin for the ol’ NCAA. I haven’t been this giddy in a long time GBO!
