Since Joe Milton went off the other day, he has been talked about a lot. The media never fails to also mention he played at Michigan. It's a trend I've noticed with former Vols who transferred here. They NEVER forget to mention the previous school. Like with Kamara, one redshirt year at Bama and they can't stop bringing that up lol

I know it's not just former Vols, but idk...been irking me a while.

If they didn't transfer from somewhere, then they mention their high school instead of the Vols 😂

True, but its a rare combination that a team can put them on the floor while a lid is on our basket simultaneously.

Most teams will need more strategy than just get bigs minutes to stop us

Idk, everything would have been fine and that size would not have mattered near as much if we could make a single wide open shot. Not worried about Texas at all.

Yeah the only counter to a team that goes heavy big is hit your 3s, we didn't so they never had to change out of it and 2 bigs = less drives = more 3s and if ya stay cold well....ya lose by 30 on the road.

Did we set a record for largest loss by a #1 team?

Not the record.

According to basketball reference...
--It was the biggest loss since the 1968 final 4. #2 UCLA beat #1 Houston by 32. 101-69 (nice)
--The biggest loss was by 41 in '51. #2 Kentucky beat #1 St John's 81-40. (may be bigger further back...the tracking only goes back to 1950)

--Last year in the big 12 tournament championship game, #7 Iowa State beat #1 Houston by 28. 69-41. Nice again. Also, houston scored less than us.

I'd be thrilled. One of the best blockers in the country, and he'd be a helpful veteran in a room with lots of youth / turnover.

Exactly. Fools on here would rather have another portal underachiever that would come in and do nothing, and they could use their favorite excuse that it takes 2 years to get up to speed in this offense

I think the ONLY way Bru comes back is if he gets his NFL draft advisory back and they tell him he will go undrafted.

If he is going to get drafted at all, I think he goes. His dream is to ultimately play in the NFL, and I hope he gets to achieve that

He can comeback?!

I don't believe that will have an effect on us. Coach Barnes is well known for having his players in tip top shape. Ask Grant Williams. They run their tails off in practice. That's why we are such a good defensive team. You can't play both ends if you don't have wind. Lots of teams only go 8-10 deep. Unless you are Coach Caldwell and sub in 5 every 3-4 minutes. Not a bad idea either. Has worked for us so far.

Nobody can go forever. Your performance declines steadily as you get more and more tired. It's not a binary, it's a spectrum. Even if we just fall off by 10% that's enough to lose a close game.

Biggest concern for me in the tournament is our depth. With the injuries and so few players who can give meaningful minutes, I worry we'll fade fast. Our starters will probably have more minutes played per game than just about anyone else in the tournament.

My fear as well. Can’t afford injury either
