Dribble, dribble, dribble, dribble - out of time - launch a prayer. Ridiculous last possession. Just mind numbing.

how did you not know what was coming? I looked over and told my wife how it would play out as soon as UF hit their last shot

1. That's a disgracefully blown opportunity. No excuse can be made for the utter stupidty UT displayed in the last five minutes.
2. Scotty Hopson was great for 35 minutes. He was invisible the last 5.
3. Tennessee's point guard play is simply inept. Melvin Goins and Trae Golden are killing this team.
4. Cameron Tatum needs to pick up his game or take a seat. He's adding nothing of value right now.
5. Tobias Harris has hit a lull. If he doesn't get back to his early season level of play, this team is done.
6. It will be a shock to me if Florida makes it past the first weekend of the NCAA Tournament. They play mindnumbingly dumb basketball.
7. There's no excuse for Skylar McBee continuing to get minutes. He's simply awful.
8. Brian Williams is playing consistently well. UT's other big guys are struggling mightily.
9. Tennessee is now a .500 team in a bad conference. That's major league underachievement.
10. Time to focus on getting this team in order before March. No titles to be won in the regular season.

Agree with pretty much everything, especially 3, 4, and 5. I'm starting to think we should be giving Bone key late-game minutes over Cam.

Florida, however, does have the tendency to win close games. They have OT wins over UT, Vandy, and Georgia and last possession wins against us and Kentucky. That might get them farther than you'd think. Not sure I'll pick them to make it past the first weekend, but they're a lot tougher mentally than the last couple Florida teams.

At some point during this season they may actually practice this situation. I was hoping it would have already happened before this game. I expect too much apparently.

Hopson was getting handchecked all second half and fouled, I don't blame him for anything, he tried his hardest. Tatum on the other hand sucked. The SEC is East is a very strong conference and we will have 5 reps from our division alone. Vanderbilt is probably playing the best b-ball right now, although Florida was a lot better than they played tonight (yes they did play dumb). Tobias needs more touches, he shot 4-7, he did not have a bad game by any means.

Sad but true. Have we won a game that came down to the last possession since Scotty hit the game winner against UF? I can't remember

pretty much agree with everything said. McBees minutes should be going to Bone. McBee has had many, I mean
any, opportunities to nail a wide open three the past few games and has blown them all...pretty bad for a so-called three point specialist. The substitution patterns baffle me... there are long stretches of time we have zero scoring threats on the floor. Tatum, way to choke. Goins, way to put yourself above the team. As a PG, your job is to get it to your scorers...not dribble out the last seconds of the game only to heave a desperation 3, which you are terrible at.

Who should play backup PG behind Goins? Golden turns it over way too much to be playing that position.

I agree Hopson HAS to atleast force the last shot he is the only one on the team that can get his own shot from almost anywhere on the floor

I'm surprised there was no mention of our free-throw ineptitude. Tonight was a tough loss...I'm afraid we will remember this one well come tourney selection time.

It's really hard right now to watch the Pitt-Nova game, knowing that we have beaten both, but can't get it done in the mediocre SEC.
