I figure I need to come up with a decent name for this (even though I don't do it nearly as frequent as Hat, I still do it enough when I have time that it may need a name. suggestions welcome).
1. Muldrow is the kind of defender we were hoping Josh Fields would be. Oh, another announcer screwed it up. but the point remains. We need a player like him for defense simply to intimidate, and fields so far hasn't been the big answer, just temporary.
2. Melvin played like a point guard tonight. Team before himself. six assists, no points till the end when he shot free throws. Speaking of that...
3. We are atrocious at the free throw line. tatum can't hit, Melvin missed two, Brian consistently goes 1 for 2. We are almost like Memphis a few years ago. I guarantee it costs us big. Wait. I think both florida games already attest to that.
4.The refs were pretty loose with calls tonight. I wasn't completely against it. I'd rather see refs call nothing than call way too much.
5. I like Minnie Pearl getting the technical. Could have been a jump ball, could have been a foul, but it was obviously a result of getting pulled down before. If we can get a free foul on any of the other teams players at the cost of pearl getting one, I'd be happy every time.
6. I may have been imagining it, but I think we had a Kenny Hall sighting. Not only that, but a productive one.
7. Skylar can NOT play point guard. period. end of discussion. He does not have the ability to break traps. if I were an opposing coach and he was running the ball I would press every time.
8. Tobias showed tonight why he needs another year. When he is on he is nigh unstoppable. But, when he isn't he doesn't know how to create for others. Tonight, he was the former, as he should have been.
9. Tonight Scotty Hopson looked more like Blake Griffin. He had three dunks that would make any highlight real (and would have been 4 had they not fouled him on the first alley oop). However, we are tennessee. so don't be surprised if we make no top ten list or at the least near the bottom.
10. We all knew we were going to win this game. The players knew it too, they were dicking around early and late, throwing oops and rushing passes like they just didn't care. I was so not enthralled in the first half that I spent more time watching the IBM challenge on jeopardy. For those of you who didn't see it, a robot named Watson absolutely decimated the two smartest game show contestants of this generation, using algorithms to help its brain function similar to our own. As Ken Jennings put it in his final answer, I gladly welcome our new robot overlords.
Let's just hope we get kept around for entertainment value.
