If the Big Orange can't win it all... War Damn Eagle. To hell with Gata

 

[Flogballs]

If Vols can’t win it all, my preference in order:
TTU
Houston
Mich St
Florida
Bama
Auburn
Duke

This may be the first time I say this regarding a Barnes’ offense, but I actually think I trust our offense more than Houston. I know their efficiency is a bit higher than ours, but I think we have more weapons than they do, more options to lean on if someone is having an off game.

Same. No way Lanier misses that badly 2 games in a row.

Tejas Tech up on UFla 24-21 TT with the early lead 3-3 pointers, Florida counters, a TT 8-0 run Florida counters again. Interesting, although Florida almost certainly prevails.

 

[Clad in Big Orange]

Amazing that Florida’s bigs never foul. That’s talent.

 

[Lukusw]

Texas Tech so far proving me wrong but it feels like they are playing out of their minds and Florida still leads.

 

[Proud Army Wife]

Texas Tech so far pricing new wrong but it feels like they are playing out of their minds and Florida still leads.

I feel like TT needs to score on 90% of their trips to the basket in order to pull a win out.

Florida getting all the whistles

Poverty program???

Only a biased viewer would have this takeaway of the first half.

 

[Anti-shunshinepumper]

Florida got this. They will begin to pull away next half. They got lucky Arkansas imploded because I think they would have gave Florida a real run for their money.

Anyone else think Alabama has a decent shot to win tonight? IDK what it is, but I could see them beating Duke.
At the same time I could see Duke beating them.
I think by that first 7-8 minutes we'll know who likely wins.

I hate Florida and their creepy a$$ coach

Guilty. But the refs have definitely favored the bigger players inside for Florida. Hopefully the gators will win for you.

Florida not impressive at all. Vols would beat them if they played again. Auburn or Michigan State will beat them if they win this one.

 

[ttocswob]

Free Throws may decide this:
TT 2-6 UF 10-10

I could see Auburn getting it done but not Michigan State. I don't think Michigan State beats Auburn in the first place to get to that game, but if they did, Florida's size would give them trouble.

Oh come on now, he was cleared after thorough “investigation”.

 

[Lawrence Wright]

Right?

Come on man, give the guy a break. He looks between 14-16 years old , so he naturally he's going to have that age group sliding in his DM's.

It’s Florida. Team Urban Hernandez overlooks anything as long as the wins are coming.

I think if it gets into a track meet Alabama could pull it out.

If he wasn’t coaching, he would have been charged most likely.

 

[Clad in Big Orange]

Right?

It’s a Vol forum so….

 

[VolFreakJosh]

Should be a flagrant foul

 

[Clad in Big Orange]

Eject that dude
