1. An opportunity that got away. Too many bad things happened that prevented a win. Multiple missed layups, blown assignments on defense, and missed box outs really hurt tonight.
2. The 1-3-1 was a really nice change up and it worked really well. However, the rotation for defensive rebounds is not where it needs to be to rely on it. It killed Tennessee tonight.
3. Jeronne Maymon made a bunch of hustle plays on the defensive end, and that was important, but he killed Tennessee offensively today, and in a game like this, Armani Moore would have been more valuable.
4. 9-17 from the free throw line. Huge difference right there that hurt Tennessee. For a team that's knocked down the FT's all year, this game came back to bite them.
5. Going to Jeronne Maymon down one with 3 minutes to go is bad coaching. That ball has to go to Jarnell and it resulted in a bad turnover, a three point shot for Frazier, and the game was over.
6. 18 offensive rebounds for Florida. I'd love to know what the last time that has happened under Cuonzo Martin.
7. Bernard King Player of the Game: Jarnell Stokes. Stokes was a beast tonight, and other than his free throws, played a really solid game. His offensive game tonight was impressive and he owned Patric Young on both ends.
8. Tennessee's defense was impressive tonight, except in one area. Three point defense. The rotation was a tad too slow. Florida hit a couple junk three pointers, but they were still easy looks.
9. Antonio Barton played his best game in a month. That's a big positive that hopefully gives him some confidence.
10. Tennessee had plenty of opportunities but good teams win games like this and the Vanderbilt game. Too many miscues in the last four minutes cost Tennessee again. Tennessee has a chance for a big win against Missouri on the road that can really give a boost for Tennessee and the tournament. We will see what happens. But they must perform better late in crunch time.
