The Pembroke Postgame Report.

[hatvol96]

1. Tennessee got a desperately needed win. That's the positive.
2. Tennessee played 20 solid minutes and slept through the second half. That's the negative.
3. Scotty Hopson is the best player in the SEC right now. He's dominating offensively.
4. Tobias Harris was as good as he's been all year. He did his work from the rim out to 15 feet.
5. Cam Tatum is thoroughly lost. He's doing nothing.
6. Melvin Goins was average. He does get credit for the shot to put it away.
7. Darrin Horn should stop by Steve Spurrier's office and thank him for winning the East this fall. Otherwise, people in Columbia would be paying enough attention to realize Horn's the worst coach in the SEC.
8. It's no coincidence that South Carolina made their run with Bruce Ellington on the bench. He's talented, but totally out if control.
9. I feel bad for Sam Muldrow. He's a winner whose career has been wasted on mediocre teams.
10. Sunday will be fun. I'll be shocked if the crowd isn't in a full state of frenzy.

its like a broken record.

Scotty and Tobias were fantastic. I definitely agree on Hopson, I wish we'd give him the ball more.

Hopefully the crowd is active on Sunday, sucks that it's an early game. Who are you taking in that one?

 

[govols120]

Agreed on all ten. Have no idea how Tatum is still starting.

Very happy to see Scotty and Tobias play at that level together. If they can do that, we're a totally different team.

 

[Indianavol4eva]

Hat, what happens if UT, UK, Vandy, and UGA all end up at 9-7 in the SEC?

 

[Scottyhop]

I feel bad for you if you bet on Tennessee -4.5.

Tennessee should win Sunday.

No comment on your favorite St. John's coach getting tossed tonight?

I think I read earlier today that UT would be the #2 seed.

Cam is trying too hard to fill JP's role from last year as a slasher and distributor and that is not what he is good at. He was more effective as a role player early in the season banging home about 3 triples a game and playing decent defense. He really is not great at any specific thing to warrant playing time at this point in the season.

Lav's consistent. He can't handle prosperity and he thrives on adversity.

 

[Kingston Vol]

3. Would be SEC POY if the team was more consistent.

10. We will win, no doubt in my mind.

 

[VOLstuckinKY2]

How about the free throw shooting tonight. The best I've seen from this team all year.

 

[govols120]

Might as well ask you while I've got the chance. You think any of the mid-majors have the chance to make a deep run this year? Not Final Four or anything, but past the first weekend.

Almost always the difference between us winning and losing.

There's nobody as good as Butler last year, but there are some teams that could make the Sweet 16 if they survive their league tournament. Belmont and Coastal Carolina come to mind. The Horizon winner and the Valley champ will both also be perfectly capable of winning two NCAA games.

I'd take Horn over Pelphrey and I'm serious.

Eh, that's a push.

Pelphrey has at least shown he can recruit at a high level. He's still awful, but that's more than Horn has shown.

I'll give you that.

Nice to see the Belmont mention. Personally think they'll make the Sweet 16 as long as they don't get a rough draw. Butler's one of the hottest teams out there right now, wouldn't be surprised if they won the Horizon and then went past the first weekend.

Good news is that there are very few tickets available on StubHub. Hopefully that means it will be a sellout and the crowd will be raucous.

 

[BeecherVol]

This team played as well in the first 20 as they have since the beginning of the season. Built a 20 point lead then looked a team that has lost 7 conference games in the second half.

They showed signs of turning the corner, then run into the wall.

Sunday is a must for momentum.
