2 if he wants it

If he takes the two and improves the way he has every year, there is money waiting for him at the next level.

I think our team lost some confidence during that tough stretch starting with @ Alabama but they have gotten it back.

I think the rough play at Vandy helped wake these guys up also. Back-to-back games where they responded pretty well to physical play.

Nothing better than reading VolNation while drinking coffee, having eggs, sausage, and biscuits, after a HUGE win. Happy, happy, happy! Go Lady Vols! Beat UGA!

Yeah, we honestly should have won by a lot more. There were several fouls called but I think this ranks in the top 2 or 3 worst officiated games for us. The refs about caused an on court fight by never calling anything in the first half

My wife thought we were losing because of how much I was dog cussing the refs most of the game.

Uros actually cares and wants to win more than any other player. If some of our more talented players had this same mindset, we would be unbeatable

That’s the key. He doesn’t have to be the scorer or the playmaker. Just be strong attacking the boards and second chance points.

His attitude and demeanor is what this team needs more than anything. That stuff rubs off on the other guys and allows them to focus on their role. That is critically important for a team with high aspirations to have and something we’ve lacked since Grant/Admiral.

I am always happy with a win, but my expectations will continue to be that this coach and team coaches and plays to their ability. Even in the win last night, there is a ton of room for improvement

You don't seem to be taking into consideration that LSU's style of play makes the game ugly on purpose. They force you beat them their way. Come tourney time no one will care it was an ugly win. We get the benefit of the win for NCAA seeding no matter. Lighten up or learn more about basketball strategy.

Come on, it’s more than just LSU, we’ve been playing “ ugly” on offense for several weeks now. I agree that it won’t matter in the tourney, however, if we don’t find some semblance of an offense , our tournament is going to consist of 1 game

The offense yesterday wasn’t even bad
