Brian Williams had a lot of success after he lost a lot of weight and got in shape last year which was also due to some discipline. The difference is that he's slacked off since then. If he had kept it up he'd be a monster right now. Maybe he should get in some trouble again.
I think Tobias showed tonight he is not ready for the NBA.
1. That's a thoroughly underwhelming effort in a big game. There's no excuse for a lack of energy playing that opponent.
2. Tennessee certainly didn't appear to get any lift from Bruce Pearl's return. They better find some answers by Saturday.
3. Scotty Hopson showed some fight tonight. He was certainly better than most of his teammates.
4. Tobias Harris played as poorly as he has all season. The game was just plain too big for him tonight.
5. ESPN has gone around the bend in their coverage of the Heat. I'm pretty sure we can survive without pass by pass updates on the Bottom Line.
6. There's no excuse for a guy as limited as Josh Harrellson coming from 20 feet out to get an offensive rebound. That's just ridiculous.
7. It's a good thing Darius Miller didn't shoot it as he normally does against Tennessee. Had he done that, the margin would have been around 30.
8. DeAndre Liggins is the most underrated player in the SEC. He's going to make a very nice living playing professionally.
9. Josh Bone took advantage of his minutes. Here's hoping he gets more.
10. John Calipari's NBA experience showed through tonight. UK didn't guard Tennessee's offensive stiffs and that put them in position to strangle off UT's attack.
The ball has to be in the cylinder or off the backboard on its way to the rim for that to be goaltending. That ball was not even in the zip code of the rim. No way we deserved a goaltending call there.
absurd. That was basket interference, period. You can't touch the rim with a ball on the board. His moving the rim changed the trajectory of the ball off the glass. If that were legal, people would always slap the board when the ball hit it.

Of course, it's much easier to design an effective help defense scheme when you can ignore one or two offensive players. both head coaches with substantial NBA experience UT has faced this year have done exactly that.3. It wasn't his best stat line, but I thought it was one of the better games I've seen Scotty play in orange.
8. I bet if you would have told Pearl that Knight and Jones would have been held in check, forcing Liggins and Harrelson to beat him, he would have been pretty happy with his chances. UK's supporting cast was far better than UT's.
10. It was a better scheme, better effort, and better execution. Somebody on UT's staff needs to watch that tape with the intent of learning the definition of help defense.
