Ha, ok
As long as the Vols don’t cut half their starting lineup in the middle of the game, then it’s already a step up.

South Carolina
is throttling Kentucky, up 25 with 11 to play. That will put the Cocks alone atop the East leaderboard with a three-way tie for second. No mention of what it says about us for them to beat UK this bad.

I’m telling you, South Carolina took the blueprint from Bruce Pearl’s first season, and they’ve been executing it perfectly. Devan Downey = Chris Lofton…and they’re going to win the division.

Can someone tell me why we decided to punt on the last possession of the half?
We get the ball back on our side of the court with 2.2 on the clock, and our inbounds play is to Chism near halfcourt? Seriously? WTF? Why couldn’t we try to inbound it to someone at least somewhat close to the basket? If we turn it over, Miss. State has the length of the court to go with a second or less on the clock…

They've been bombing a lot of three's.
But yes.

So, bad thought.
Anyone else get the same vibes from this game as Auburn?
Please make me look like an ass again, Tennessee, PLEASE!

Our inside game looks much improved
But that could be MSU’s fault.
by samhitch on Feb 25, 2009 10:35 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
You'd think it wouldn't.
Leading shot blockers and all.

Having both Williams and Chism in at the same time gives them matchup problems.
They only have one Varnado.
by Hooper on Feb 25, 2009 10:36 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
Win or lose, the team looks a lot more settled out there.
If they make the tourney, I hope they can hold onto whatever made the change happen.
by Hooper on Feb 25, 2009 10:38 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
Hope so, too
But I fear the “To be is not to beat” thing still.

We shoot 30% from 3
Like clockwork. 4 of 13 for 30.8% tonight

I apologize in advance.
Chris Low is bummed out because:

Haven't read that
But somebody really ought to hire that guy as their head coach, I think.

I'm like 15 minutes ahead.
We’re up 10.
by bobo_the_vol on Feb 25, 2009 10:45 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
It was a few minutes ago
And then Bobby Maze hit that second 3 right after it, but he wanted a foul and went after Valentine

Man Big Baby is having a good game
He’s got a really quick release.

Does Bernard King
Just hang out with Bruce Pearl all the time now?
by Will on Feb 25, 2009 10:47 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
If only we could have had Lofton play with this team.

Luke Stocker
Has to feel like the luckiest man in the world this week…they eliminated all his competition outside Cottam
by Will on Feb 25, 2009 10:49 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
I hope Orson Charles gets the hint...
:-)
by Hooper on Feb 25, 2009 10:49 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
If we cans upply him with the number 7
we should be good :)
by samhitch on Feb 25, 2009 10:51 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
technically couldnt charles still have 7 then?
Opposite sides of the ball, right? That is right, isn’t it?
by samhitch on Feb 25, 2009 10:53 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
You know, that's a good question
Fulmer never went that route, but I wonder about Kiffin…seems like I remember USC doing it at some point, Arkansas did it all the freaking time, SO confusing
by Will on Feb 25, 2009 10:54 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
I don't know.
There are some duplicates listed in the roster, so perhaps you’re right.
by Hooper on Feb 25, 2009 10:54 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
I think you see a lot of duplicates in the Big 12
I wanna say a d-backs got colt mccoys number, too
by samhitch on Feb 25, 2009 10:55 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
I mean if it really is that important to him
I don’t see why not.
by samhitch on Feb 25, 2009 10:56 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
Did you see about Brandon Warren going to WR?
by wvvol on Feb 25, 2009 10:51 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
Yeah. That makes a lot of sense.
He’s really more of a physical WR than a TE by build.
by Hooper on Feb 25, 2009 10:52 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
Love that
“GETINTHEHOLE!” by whoever’s yelling that during our free throws. Somebody watched Tiger today.
SCOTTY HOPSON!
by Will on Feb 25, 2009 10:51 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
I'm looking now.
Scotty is getting Hot.
by bobo_the_vol on Feb 25, 2009 10:52 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
Or it's free throws.
I missed the play but heard the whistle and didn’t realize it was a shooting foul.
by Hooper on Feb 25, 2009 10:55 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
This thing isn't over
the way they’ve been shooting and the way we typically shoot free throws
by Will on Feb 25, 2009 10:57 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
Did you hear that guy yell at perfect timing to disrupt Smith?
Then see Smith glance up into the stands afterwards?
=]
by samhitch on Feb 25, 2009 10:59 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
It is if Tyler Smith saw the guy who did it
not a =] for that poor guy though.

Gotta love the consistency in scoring this half.
Check out the point-by-time graph of gamecast.

Remember us all talking about MSU replicating Bruce Pearls first season as head coach?
Look at that press!
by samhitch on Feb 25, 2009 11:01 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
Smith this is where you show yourself to be ready for the NBA.
by bobo_the_vol on Feb 25, 2009 11:02 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
Don't do it Tyler!
You ain’t ready! One more year!
by wvvol on Feb 25, 2009 11:02 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
Wow. Maze just gave Pearl something to talk about.
o.O

Hooray!
…wait, boo on the foul by Maze!
But hooray for this W!

The 400 comments looked to Joel, their leader, for guidance.
It had been a long time since the winter wolf ..
