Wasn't Pretty

OK. I did my best to explain my intent. I'd try and explain why I felt this way, but I don't think it would matter. Take care.

There's not much to explain. I think we hashed it all out. Your intent ( whether politely or otherwise) was to tell me you didn't think this thread was necessarily worthy of being a thread, but instead should have just been a post in the Game thread. I obviously disagreed with that.

I did happen to notice tho you didn't mention that to the person that made the 'Felix POG' thread right after mine. Could he/she not have just as well put that in the game thread?
I digress. To me the whole notion of valuing other people's threads worthiness to stand alone or become a post in a potentially more suitable thread is a bit silly if I'm being honest. I'm fine with just leaving it up to the person making the thread/post.

Y'all should start another thread just to hash it out cus you’re ruining this one.

Good win but man oh man Rodney Terry is cheeks

A conference road win is something I will be very grateful for this season. It looks to me like we are trying to figure things out offensively and there is a lot of looking at each other than playing with each other. Hopefully it gets straightened out. A lot of sickness and things going around too that can massively impact a team.

Go Vols

I was especially pleased with Okpara's performance. If he can be a menace in the paint, we would have a new wrinkle.

This was a nice touch

Seeing him have another good game is very encouraging. When Cade gets healthy we could end up being pretty good in the post after all.

Like I said, I figured you would take it that way. Wasn't my intention. Post away.

FWISW, I think you both are right in a way, but timing is a determining factor and a game recap was warranted.

Last to games it appears we are struggling or hesitant offensively and defensively. Sure the competition is better. Timely 3's by Z which was not expected last night saved us.

Slump for the team? or flu? or was it just matchups. Short shots sometimes equals Tired? As we all know road trips can be exhausting as well and different arenas can also present different views.
Igor appears to pass up 3pt shots because of No Confidence.

Barnes will bring out the best of them and we have not seen it yet but the day will come. Still early in the season.

I thought about this last night towards the end of the game. Our guys don't get much of a chance to rest during the game because of our lack of depth. If that is affecting us, unfortunately that probably only gets worse as the season rolls on.

Barnes practices are brutal as well, but there is a hump there on his teams. Once all have cleared it physically and mentality there will be an upgrade.

The SEC is a grind now because of the competition. Barnes is playing the long game. So many times we did die down the stretch and as seen before and as fans we got caught up in the rankings.

Early season is about staying in the hunt and building momentum, physically and teamwork. Stay under the radar and get better.

No 1 ranking was great but would rather have stayed in the top 10 the entire season come tournament time.

But this team showed heart tonight. Got it done when it counted. We have a lot to improve on, but on a positive note Felix and Dubar looked a lot better tonight.
Go Vols, and let's get back to form at home against Georgia!

Watching that Bama game, and that is a team we are going to have to outscore to win. Our defense will not keep them from scoring over 70 pts. I'm not sure this team is built for a shootout, just like our football team wasn't.
