Do it.

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

Do it.

Hahahaha crush the heels.

Maybe don't close your eyes. . .

Lol

 

[DD4ME]

Hard to argue

Photo is something.

More like Oliver

Y'all flying off the top rope on some of these takes.

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.

This thread is for sports

You have to imagine this is true

 

[JP_UT_O&W]

1. 2. 3. Go

Bill Kellogg ends up with it. What a turn of events.

 

[butchna]

Maybe don't close your eyes. . .

I think they’re open.

 

[TrippieRedd]

You have to imagine this is true

*Barnes and Co walk into the basketball dungeon below the arena and see Coach KC*

Barnes: Fancy seeing you here

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Yeah, for those not keeping up... Kim is a damn coach.

25 class she has 11th ranked Mia Pauldo, 14th ranked Deniya Prawl, 32nd ranked Jaida Civil, 42nd ranked Lauren Hurst, & 56th ranked Mya Pauldo

5 top 60 players, 2 are 5 stars and top 15...

 

[Enki_Amenra]

I think they’re open.

Maybe

 

[screenthis]

Some speculation in basketball forum that him and DJ were involved with some inappropriate behavior with a girl or girls.

Ah, if true...that makes sense then.

 

[GVol1966]

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

 

[Smokey123]

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?!

 

[jave36]

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.

I'm sure he's "excited" about it

He is such a weird guy. Dude acts like he doesn't care about anything. I guess some people are just built that way. He acts like he regrets covering sports for a living.
