The Official #3 Tennessee vs. #14 Longwood NCAA Tournament Game Thread, 2:45 PM ET, CBS

Charles almost laughed at him acting like Michigan is a 2 seed.

CBS seems to be really pro Michigan tomorrow.

I heard someone mention it the other day on a radio show that finally, TN is a bad matchup for so many other teams. Usually, we are the one that catches that.

A UT team taking and hitting 3s is a hard matchup for anyone. Missing 3s then it’s a troubling set offense.

Did you expect anything less?

Halftime show already hyping Michigan as if they are the favorite next game.

Line will be closer than most of us think. So will the game.

 

[Stoerner Fumbles]

Once Fulkerson established some inside game, that took Longeood away from defending the 3. If Tennessee can make opponents respect the inside game, they can be tough. Several good 3 pt shooters.

They’ve got a tiny slow 5. Michigan has monster foul magnet in Dickinson. We’ll have to play a totally different game.

It’s the Blue Blood from years ago. And the Juwan Howard redemption tour that so many seem to be on. Almost as sickening as the Coach K retirement party they’ve had all season.

Holy hell all the Michigan blowing.

Ratings. Ad sales. That’s what they do.

Boy Kenny Anderson needs to spit Howard’s junk out of his mouth. Barkley literally telling him Tennessee plays like this the last 12-13 games and he is relentless with his Michigan agenda.

 

[RAVOL]

The D seemed bad because Longwood was making the shots they got. But we forced a ton of turnovers to get stops. 11 in that half, 9 of which were steals.

That was the best part of our D turning them over. Has been all year. In CHRIST Alone

This team would smoke the Springer & Johnson team.

There, I said it.

Seconded. As talented as Springer and Johnson were, I don't think they ever fully bought into the "no I in team" concept that Barnes preaches. This team does. Plus, much more depth.

Agree, except NOTHING can compare to the 5 month ego-fest Ratboy (ahem, coach K) has been on.

Good talk all our games up , keep the chip on our shoulders !!

Did you expect anything less?

Kind of, given that Michigan was a surprise at-large to begin with.

Big Charles is still an SEC guy.

Chuck loves him some Kentucky.

Hope that in the 2nd half we get some good minutes from Powell, Mashack, Aidoo, BHH, Bailey, ZZ.

Need to get some rest for Santi, JJJ, KC, & Fulky. Michigan has plenty of size/talent so despite their record still a team I'd be worried about.

 

[turdherder11]

It'd be nice to be up 30 with time left in the 2nd and give some of these guys rest for Saturday.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

I hope we don't just beat Michigan, but that was slaughter them. This team barely scraped into the tournament. Tired of the Big 10 slobberfest.

Powell might be able to get Longwood back into this thing.

Only Kenny

If we’re going to go far, we’ll have to win hard games where we don’t shoot well. Michigan is not a team we want to take lightly.

Only reason why this has been one of the worst tournaments to get hyped up about is the slobber fest over the Big 10 and Coach K’s retirement party.

We’ve heard the same ole BS all year.
