Tennessee vs. Kentucky: Game Thread

[BobS]

Well, it was a decent 3 minutes of basketball. That's about it.

This offense might be the worse in the nation.

But we finally started scoring when we sped up the game. Then again, so did UT.

I doubt they play another bad half. I wonder what we will do.

Psh. Guaranteed lottery pick.

I wish he would've left last season then we could've had someone else. He is just not very good. He may not even be mediocre right now. Poor IQ. Zero defense other than the WVU game. SG who can't shoot. He can jump out of the gym and that is the only thing going for him.

KY shooting:

8-21 FG 35%

3-9 3PT 33.3%

7-10 FT 70%

Tenn not shooting much better.

Yeah, I feel like a lot of folks on here are underselling UT. They are a good team. They are 15th ranked. They will be in the Tourney. Just too many SEC basketball doubters on here.

I think Tennessee can win the national championship and I'm serious. I wouldn't want to screw with this team in March. Great balance. Shoot the three great. One of the six or seven best defensive teams in the country. This is a solid basketball team.

I fear what's going to happen in St. Louis is that we're going to be on their side of the bracket and they're going to pound us into submission. This team would beat Kentucky probably eight times out of ten.

I rag on him, but I don’t wish that. I want to see players like him stick around and develop.

Plus, who’d we miss out on because of Hami’s presence?

Cats didn’t play any defense the last 3 UT possessions and allowed 8 points

I disagree. I thought that last shot especially was contested very good. The kid just hit it.

Me too, but he isn't, so that's why I said what I said. And it's all true.

Yes. Just a tough contested shot. UT is good.

Thought so too. That's a tough shot.

The three before that was just a breakdown.

All in all Kentucky's defense has been solid the last game and a half. Which is good, because if it wasn't we would be down by 15 points right now.

I don't know about a NC, but this UT team looks well coached and can hit the 3 with the best. If they get hot come tournament time, anything could happen.

This Tennessee team isn't winning any national championship, Will. LOL.

I'd put money on them losing in the first round before I put money on them making the Final Four. And that goes for pretty much any SEC team.

[ralph helm]

This game is UGLY& we have to listen to alligator mouth VITALE on top of it!!!!!

I think there are about 20 teams that could win it all. I still feel dUKe is the best, but there are no dominant teams this season. UT is definitely in the mix.

[KCKUKFan]

Until Duke starts playing something resembling defense, they're not going to be winning anything.

I never understood the Rick Barnes can't coach by some fans.
