1. That's a sound, workmanlike win. Tennessee avoided being draw into Auburn's muck.
2. Brian Williams did exactly what he should have against a team with no discernable inside game. You've got to dominate when you can.
3. Cameron Tatum is showing signs of getting back on track. That certainly makes UT's offense much better.
4. Tobias Harris showed some guts. That was a solid performance on a lame wheel.
5. There's no excuse for a school in a BCS league to field a team as bad as Auburn is putting on the floor right now. Hell, there's no reason for an OVC team to be that awful.
6. Josh Langford is going to be a very good SEC player. That's about all the hope for that roster.
7. Mark Gottfried's enfatuation with Steve Pearl and Skylar McBee is beginning to become disconcerting. If he thinks they are that great, it certainly explains why Alabama fell off the cliff with him in charge.
8. How in the world does a Big East team in Chicago end up as bad as DePaul? Mark Aguirre has to be sick.
9. Rece Davis needs to stay in the studio. He's just not a play by play guy.
10. Saturday will determine whether or not the Tony Jones Era is a success. 6-2 would be good, 5-3 average.

Gottfried sucks. Good win, good performance by BW especially, and good thing I no longer have a reason to watch Auburn play another game this season.

Another solid write up Hat. Do you think we can beat Bama Saturday, and can we if Hopson can't play.

Back to back games where we take care of business on the road. Really impressive/surprising. Workmanlike was the perfect word to use. Another one of those types of effort and we win on Saturday.

We will see if we are the best team in the SEC after the games against UK and UF next week, which is a better barometer than our recent stretch against LSU, Ole Miss and AU. Positive notes, Cameron Tatum is stepping up, finally!!! Two good games, but the problem is those games were against horrible teams. I expect him to continue playing like this against the likes of Bama, UK and UF. Tobias and Brian Williams had solid games tonight, although our post defense completely fell apart in the second half and looked like crap. AU had a frosh take them to the rake on five occassions. Regardless, they knocked AU out of the game early.

Reese Davis is an arrogant cheeseball, an ESPN color commentator must have had the night off. Davis and Gottfried don't mix well together. Stephen Pearl is a solid player, he fits extremely well in our system. McBee is really struggling and he had a HORRIBLE game tonight. He should have been benched much earlier for Bone. McBee really needs to step it up because this was easily his worst game of the season against a horrible team. I think Jones is going to be really pissed with the defensive effort the last ten minutes of this game, which will light a fire in the team to perform better defensively in the Alabama game. We will beat Bama.

With whomever their coach suspended back in the lineup, are they still this bad?

Also, considering how much you love AU, where does beating them in basketball rank among college basketball wins for you? Is it as satisfying as it is in football?

I don't understand why we are not getting Kenny Hall minutes in these blowouts. He is going to be starting next year and he needs the experience.

Does anybody have an update in regards to what post players we are recruiting next year? Didn't realize the amount of players we may lose next year if both Scotty and Tobias go pro. We would lose the top 6 out of 8 guys in our rotation (not counting McBee).

Also, Kenny Hall does need to see the floor. Nothing suggested he shouldn't be playing against AU and Ole Miss. He came on and played extremely hard with the oppurtunity he was given in those games. He is a talented guy and is not getting a fair shake this year. McBee needs to be benched, I don't think Jones has been pleased with his recent performance. It's not just one game it's a few, although I think Pearl is playing very well.

I think were going after some JUCOS. If Bruce is here i expect we go back to the full court press and small line ups. Hopefully we will be able to sneak into the tourney with that.

True, they have to be going hardcore after JUCOS, or pray they get a transfer like John Fields or the Knox guy at UNC. Your right they will probably go to a small lineup with Hall at Center, Maymon at the 4 and three pressing guards (Jones, McRae/Ware and Tatum). Jones is going to have to be huge next year and I think he will start over Golden from Day 1.
