I agree he was fine as a 1-on-1 defender. That’s why I specified “team defense”. it was switch and help defense that him and Mitchell got murdered on.

Agreed.

We win at Rupp and drop 1 in the NET. Bama jumps us after a win at home. Interesting.

Alabama goes to Auburn this week. We need Auburn to do us a favor and hand the Tide their 2nd loss. If Alabama wins that game, they are almost certainly winning the conference.

KenPom adjusted offense now at 15. Defense still at 2. Really good stuff.

In case anyone missed Santi blowing kisses to the UK fans after hitting a massive corner 3, here you go. The perfect way to start off your Sunday morning.

 

[cardvolfan]

This is interesting.

 

[omghulkhands]

Agreed.

It’s probably just poor coaching. The out of bounds plays are the same thing. Either those guys are all stupid or Cal isn’t properly preparing them.

Must have been a Cat fan or two chirping in that area courtside. If you watch last nights game closely you see Z, Knecht and JJJ also exchange some looks and words with same group.

Some of all of those, and they are young and we are experienced. All things combined, it played right into our hands.

Apparently, they are just stupid. Dillingham said it himself.

Odds Wagner sits out rest of season ?

Through trial-and-error, these Vols are close to finding that perfect sweet spot on their driver. Each game they get closer to finding that perfect recipe for maximum performance. This week, including the South Carolina game, we benefitted from lessons we needed to acquire.

lol good lord

Dalton’s mom approves.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

This is probably the one glaring flaw in the NET I’d like to see fixed. Too much weight on margin of victory.

Is there anywhere to see the first 4 1/2 minutes? The SEC Network tomorrow?

ESPN replay has it

 

[MinisterofDef#92]

Great game by jjj last night, great to see. Really think jjj has had a wrist injury that’s been affecting his shot. Last night was the first time in a while he hasn’t had his wrist taped up, don’t think it’s a coincidence that he started being more assertive and shooting better.

Noticed the same thing...interesting coincidence.

Things are fine up north. Totally rational people.

Looks like Lunardi has Tennessee penciled in at the last #2 seed.
Same Bracket as UCONN.

Surprise he has Duke as the #3 seed.

We are back to the first #2 seed, number 5 overall seed according to Lunardi.

This quote explains a lot. Adopt the mentality of their coach. And shows just how soft they are as a team. They are more interested in making excuses than anything else.

Fine example of a team taking on the mentality of its coach.

LMAOOO coming from the dude that was downplaying Knecht before the game

I’ve got a pair in the uppers vs LSU. Only asking 50 dollars total.

The NBA doesn’t care about defense either.

He won’t be at Kentucky next year any way.

That is absolutely wrong Josh. If NBA teams didn’t play defense, the scores would be 170 to 160. Hard to understand how big and physical the pro players are till you see it in person.

Thinking about the schedule ahead, it feels like these next 6 games will be the most important of the one’s left on our schedule, IMO.

That final 4 game stretch will be tough no matter how you slice it, but our next 6 games are all against teams you are better than. Three of them are against the actual bottom three teams in the league.

If we can go 6-0 in this stretch, we’ll basically be playing with house money those final 4 games.
