Vols are an underdog to Memphis...

I think it's too early to be talking about how USC is "much better than anyone thought".

Well, I can say that, because I thought USC would absolutely stink and had no talent...but they have an NBA guy a PF, and a couple of other guys just as good as anyone on the UT roster...

And Saint Mary's and UNLV are not chumps...and the Trojans handled them

That said, we'll see how the players feel about O'Neill by the end of the year.

Point is, USC was a good team -- not a mediocre team, as I originally wrote and as their 4-4 record (sans the point guard) implied

Unless Stepeheson gets in shape and develops a shot outside three feet, he'll play in the same number of NBA games as Chris Lofton.

The PAC 10 is disgracefully bad. I'll wait to see what SC's conference record is before I pass judgment.

I'm not surprised by this. The way we played in our last road game gives us no reason to be favored.

I think you are being a little too kind about the PAC 10....pathetic is more the word I would use to describe the conference this year.....hey, I could be wrong....we'll see....

The nonconference portion of the season has pretty much established the fact that the PAC 10 is horrible. Winning games against each other won't really prove anything. If SC takes care of business and finishes third or better, then, with Gerrity and Washington, they're a decent team. If not, they just represent an awful loss for Tennessee.

We still had no business losing by 22 to this team. And if turns out we did, it will be because UT is awful, not because USC was some sleeper powerhouse.

Most of the PAC 10 teams' losses this season were to quality teams.

The stats actually showed we should have been about a 6 or 7 point dog at least. When I saw 2, I felt really good about this game.
