And I'm on time-delay again.
Stupid CBS giving us high-quality matchups instead of SEC play.

You could always do like bobo

It'd feel like cheating.
Besides, I don’t think that game is online anyway.

I'm supposed to get it in the Roanoke market
But I’m suspicious. Right now it’s Louisville and Marquette’s baby blue unis.
by Will on Mar 1, 2009 1:21 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
I've got that as well.
It was a good first half, but Louisville came out strong in the 2nd half to open it up.
By the way, reason #1 I want a 6: playing a 3-seed Marquette in the 2nd round.

Pitino

This time
he didn’t “spill something” on it. Anyone else remember the Georgetown / Louisville game from last year?
by Graysnail on Mar 1, 2009 1:50 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
He had the KFC outfit on in the first half
Then came out of the locker room in a dark suit after halftime. He told ESPN/CBS/whomever that he spilled something on it in the locker room.
by Will on Mar 1, 2009 1:53 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
This was after:
Georgetown went into the locker room up 10 or something.

Sort of like Pearl
in his first game at FL. He started in a light suit and gradually changed into a dark suit?

Quick question:
Does anybody want a game thread for the Lady Vols this evening? I won’t be there (curling is Sunday nights, and tonight may be the most important matchup this season), but I’d be happy to set one up if anybody wants it. Of course, “anybody” most specifically means ’snail and wvvol, who are the other usuals. But let me know.
If there’s not enough interest, I’ll save myself the time and effort. I have plenty else to do.
by Hooper on Mar 1, 2009 1:51 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
My vote.
Don’t worry about it if you’re not going to be there.
I think I’m getting a cold so by this evening I’ll probably be hammered drunk on Nyquil.
by wvvol on Mar 1, 2009 1:59 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
Sounds good, then.
Best of luck to them anyhow!
(And to be honest, I’d probably go to the game if it weren’t for curling.)

Quick question:
If the Marquette game runs late, will they delay the start of the UT game for TV purposes?
And if so, will they discount all the extra commercials they’re getting in right now?

Weird, CBS is acting like we're getting UT/Florida.
I suspect this is a bait-and-switch.

It's boxscore watching time.
I’m not sure who to hate more: CBS for designing an online player that doesn’t work (psst, might want to get that fixed in the next two weeks), or Comcast for not making this game available locally.

He was pretty hot to start.

Calathes with one now.
If he gets two, it’ll be worth it, but one foul at this point isn’t a big deal at all.
by Graysnail on Mar 1, 2009 2:32 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
So here's a thought:
With a Tennessee win, can we hose Florida out of the NCAA’s? That might be worth it by itself.

I keep seeing pushes by Florida on those rebounds
They aren’t calling them on Tennessee, of course, because Tennessee isn’t going for offensive rebounds
by bobo_the_vol on Mar 1, 2009 2:39 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
We're not recognizing the bounce.
They’re positioned really well, which is why they’re getting as many boards as they are. They’re not particularly quality offensive boards, but knowing your own rims is a big deal.

Question on the 3-seconds-in-the-paint rule:
How much of the players needs to be in the paint for it to be called?
by Hooper on Mar 1, 2009 2:48 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
Any part of either foot on the line or inside the lane.
by wvvol on Mar 1, 2009 2:50 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
Then they need to start watching Florida for it.
I counted >5 seconds multiple times.
by Hooper on Mar 1, 2009 2:50 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
You need:
Part of your body outside the paint during that time if you don’t have the ball. If you have the ball, it doesn’t make any difference. I’ve seen it coached where you just step outside once every couple of seconds.
by Graysnail on Mar 1, 2009 2:50 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
Of course it has to be 3 seconds in a row.
by wvvol on Mar 1, 2009 2:53 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
That much I understood.
But not much else.
by Hooper on Mar 1, 2009 2:55 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
I'm pretty sure you have to have both feet outside the lane to reset the count.
by wvvol on Mar 1, 2009 2:59 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
Either way, Florida's only setting one foot out to reset.
by Hooper on Mar 1, 2009 3:00 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
It's one foot out.
You don’t need your entire body, just part of it.
by Graysnail on Mar 1, 2009 3:00 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
That ain't Josh Tabb.
I ain’t complaining, but that ain’t Josh Tabb.

We're 7 of 9 from three...
And our two best shooters, Hopson and Tatum, haven’t even hit one yet. In fact, Scotty has no points…and we’re up a dozen.
by Will on Mar 1, 2009 2:51 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
Half Time Thoughts
Williams is having himself a game, Would like to see Hopson getting involved more, Can we keep shooting this well from outside? Will Billy Donavan realize that he needs to pressure the ball more in the half court? Roll players are contributing very well, Tabb/Tatum/Woolridge
by Getoffmyvols on Mar 1, 2009 2:52 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
Maybe Hopson is contributing.
As hot as BW (and the entire inside game) is, I like the plan to focus on it first. Of course, if UF adjusts their defense inward, it’ll be time for Hopson to prove he’s developing like we hope.
by Hooper on Mar 1, 2009 2:53 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
You're right
Scotty has been playing well on defense and has grabbed a few boards, I was thinking offensively. He may find some opportunities in the 2nd half if Florida changes there scheme on defense.
by Getoffmyvols on Mar 1, 2009 2:56 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
They need to anticipate the change.
No way can Florida let the interior run free like this.

On Florida's offensive boards:
It should be an easy fix. Florida’s rims bounce pretty strongly off misses, so I think the key is to recognize that. Typically, the coaching method is to have guys within 2-3 feet of the rim to get misses – but if you notice, Florida sets up at 4-5 feet. They know their rims. If everyone takes a half-step back I imagine we’ll give up 4-6 easy points on people cutting off the edge, but there will be a severe reduction in second possessions.
