I agree, the scary thing is that one injury to Zeigler and our entire season changes. We can’t lose Zeigler

Yup

The Truth, like Freddie Dilione. Seriously, if we lose ZZZ, we are in big trouble, not miss the NCAAT trouble, but really win anything trouble

Hmmmmm.

Tennessee: The Vols beat Kansas in Atlantis, but lost at Arizona last weekend in Tucson. No shame in that at all. Bruce Pearl has a very balanced squad this year with five players averaging between 10 and 12 points per game. They are going to be in a fight for the SEC title with the likes of Alabama, Arkansas, Kentucky and Auburn.

Hmmmmm.

Bruce is back

That Arizona foul stuff was garbage in that piece. The big issue was the horrible charge calls, they weren't called because of our defense. Nor the moving screens Arizona was doing all game and not getting called for, that we did get called for. Had it been called the same for both teams, I could live with a ton of whistles. It wasn't. Not even close.

Hmmmmm.

So much top shelf hoops analysis out there

 

[cncchris33]

Hmmmmm.

Good grief, Andy. No wonder no one takes you seriously.

Yeah, I'd pump the brakes there, considering their schedule has been a joke and they've lost to 2 of the few good teams they've played.

He was referring to Andy Katz eval of our team…and talking about Bruce Pearl as if he is the coach at UT currently. It was a brain fart on his part but damn proofreading goes a long way

Lol wow, I didn't even catch that. I thought Katz was just lumping SEC teams together but then I saw he listed Auburn.

I take back my comment.

Damn, it seems like forever since we played. I'm ready to bust Ole Miss a$$

Oh yeah!

 

[Dallasbowlin]

Knew he was a great basketball mind, but seems like a great person as well. He’s four years younger than Barnes. Wonder if he has any more HC aspiration before retiring?

I’m fairly confident they are awful and we will beat the crap out of them on their home court.

They lost to North Alabama at home, struggled to beat UT Martin and Chattanooga.

Any possibility JJJ shuts it down and plays one last year next season?

I've considered this possibility, too. Similar path Jeronne Maymon took for his senior year.

Fwiw, Rob Lewis has said JJJ doesn't have that mindset. Sounds to me that we most likely have seen the last Josiah on the court sadly.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

It is truly a shame if this is how Josiah’s career here ends. He deserved one last run in March. I hope that is still possible but seems unlikely.

Playing career yep. I can see him being a coach similar to Campbell and Woodson.

 

[Dallasbowlin]

Lol Josiah having a little fun with the social media team.

 

[Deathandtaxes]

So do we see this team as a final four or elite eight team this year? I don’t know if we have the shooters this year… thoughts?

Too early to tell. Roughly this time last year people had written the team off after a 2-2 start in conference play. We then went on a 6 week tear to close the regular season. The outlook for this team could look vastly different (both positive or negative) 4 weeks from now.
