Gonna go overly optimistic here. Hopefully KY is lost without Noel, we shut down goofy, and limit the turnovers...oh and stokes makes it 7 in a row.

70-58 Vols

Overly optimistic X about 20.... I'm still in the "you gotta show me" phase with this team. Although wins are better than losses, beating USCe and Pansybilt doesn't yet give me confidence. Hope they play well today and find a way

I'm way too used to disappointment when it comes to this team to predict a win. I'd actually be shocked if we won. That's just my attitude toward the team; they've let me down so many times this year that I refuse to expect anything from them.

Kentucky beats us by 10. 60-50. Sorry guys.

Mcbee should be able to hang with mays, just don't lose him on 3s, make him put it on the floor.

Mcbee has a bonehead move or a blow by or 2 every game and they are hard to miss. He still plays better D than other players or he wouldn't be playing. 90% of the time he will play solid d against bigger and/or faster players, but the glaring mistake ignites ire.

And ftr, when Mcbee, Richardson or anyone on the wing forces a player to the baseline, its because that's where they have help. I truly don't think some people know that. We can't keep people out of the lane. We have to force them to where help is quite often. If we are taking away the middle and the guy still gets there, our D isn't set for help.

UT scored 70 in Rupp. You think they score 20 less at home? Really?

Well he's just not that good. He may play "good" def but when he's not doing anything on offense it just adds on to the dislike that he receives.

Have a feeling this thread is going to blow up either way. Hopefully in a good way.

Yes. I don't trust our offense one bit. We didn't even crack 60 in that win over Vandy.

Our slow style of play combined with a bad shooting performance could leave us in the 40s, honestly. But I'm going with 50.

Talent? Yes. However, very little experience and haven't come together like Cal teams usually do.

Our luck this is the game they put it all together and are hitting from outside.

Great points. I don't think UK shoots lights out but they will give our defense fits. It should be a hell of a game.

No reason for Hall to see the floor today. As I've said before, God bless the kid, but he's barely a D1 player, if he even is

He will get an opportunity today because of the mismatch with wiltjer, hopefully he brings 10 minutes of fire and smart basketball.

Or it shows that Kentucky even without Noel has a team with 5 NBA draft picks on it and is still a much more talented team than we have.

This. I'm so sick of people looking forward to firing all our current coaches. Like this one game will determine the outcome of our tourney hopes next season

I have a bad feeling Kenutcky shows up big today after losing Noel and plays their best game of the year.

It just seems to work out for us that way against them.

Forgive me if this has been mentioned, but have ya'll been watching this March Madmess show on CBS? It's outstanding.
