It’s weird. They’ll look great one minute and then go on these stretches were they look awful. I watch other teams ranked inside top 10 and they’re more consistent offensively flow wise. It’s like UT gets a mental block or something. I can’t explain it

That’s indeed why I think reservations are warranted. When this team is on they can beat anyone. But they hit enough stretches where they could lose to anyone, too. It really is maddening.

Vols playing better but still did just turn it over. 19-13 Gators.

Tis basketball. Fans remember the worst of their own teams and not of others (or maybe they just don't watch 30+ games a year of other teams needed to see those droughts).

Just like poker, you remember all the bad beats and hardly any of the ones where you handed out bad beats. The human brain is wild like that.

I know for sure this defense has caused many droughts worse than our own.

I think UT will pull it out. Just maddening at times offensively. Idk what takes place. Luckily the defense bails them out more often than not to allow these 5+ minute offensive ineptitude stretches.

Just the commonality of UT’s is odd compared to a few other programs I watch that are ranked. They don’t have a great of a defense as UT but better offensive flow and less stretches like what UT has. Luckily the defense bails them out enough for wins more often than not. Have a feeling we’ll have to hope for continued defensive domination for a good run in March

I looked at some advanced stats graphic that spoke to the differences in UT’s Offensive stretches Vs the other programs by season and it’s just weird. Happens a lot more than you’d think. It’s like there’s a kink in the hose pipe at frequency

Speaking of better... It's been a while since I watched a UT basketball team that was so far and above talent wise all over the court. Just gotta hope they stay focused and healthy because we're 100 percent able to hang with anyone in terms of talent.
