I won't be able to watch today
The boss’ boss thought that 3:30-5 was a great time to have a meeting on Friday. After that, I’ll be driving down to NC to meet my family (Salisbury is roughly equidistant from Richmond, Knoxville, and Atlanta).
I’m concerned about today’s game. We may have been “conserving energy” yesterday, but we almost lost to LSU. That doesn’t give me great confidence heading into a game against a team that has given us fits for the last couple of years. We have to play with more energy and shoot better today or we go home. I’d LOVE to have a reason to spend tomorrow afternoon glued to the TV.
In the spirit of full disclosure…the last time I drove to NC during a UT game, we got hammered by Southern Cal. Everyone can blame me if things don’t go well today.
Don't think we won't! ;-)

The game begins in the spring, when everything else begins again, and it blossoms in the summer, filling the afternoons and evenings, and then as soon as the chill rains come, it stops and leaves you to face the fall alone." A. Bartlett Giamatti
Also on Ambien: Kentucky
17-8 Alabama eight minutes in…the Tide are stroking it from three, and looks like Kentucky brought their C- game.
now 26-15 Bama at 6:58 first half
Tide are 4 of 6 from three, six offensive rebounds…we’ll see how long this lasts
Also of note:
Kentucky is 0-5 from 3, has shot 4 free-throws to Alabama’s 8 (Bama has made all 8) — but there we go, a quick 6-0 run by Kentucky stopped by a Bama bucket. 28-21 Bama 5:42 left in the half.

Kentucky
Currently on a 10-2 run to cut it to 28-25. Bama turning the ball over and fouling. A basket by Bama makes it 30-25 at 3:57 left in the half.

Through nearly 18 minutes of gametime
This is Demarcus Cousin’s statline: FG: 0-2 FT: 0-0 Reb: 3 Assist: 1 TO: 1 Block: 1 TO: 1 PF: 2. Wow.
And it’s a 33-27 game under 2 left in the first.
Tennessee Fans: We win at teh Internet!
And the boards
Are telling the story of this game, it seems. Alabama has 23 rebounds, 9 offensive, to Kentucky’s 15 and 3. Well, that and the 3-point game, where Kentucky is an impressive 0 for 8 compared to Bama’s 4-6.

Big turn around there..
Alabama had a chance to go up by double-digits but missed the front end of a 1 and 1, then UK goes down and hits their first 3 of the game right before the buzzer to make it a 35-30 Alabama lead at halftime in the early game.
Tennessee Fans: We win at teh Internet!
Apparently Evan Turner hit a 40 footer at the buzzer
to give Ohio State a one point win over Michigan
POY
And well deserved.

Has Michigan never heard of ball pressure?
No pressure on the inbounder, no pressure in the back court…even though there were only 2.2 seconds when the play started, Turner got within 35 feet without being bothered. Very questionable strategy…
It's Big 10 Ball:
Horrible for a reason. But it was still a pretty sexy shot.

I have class from 3:00 to 4:30
So I’ll miss the first half of our game and all of the Kentucky/Bama game. Honestly, I don’t know whether we should pull for Bama and the easier path or for Kentucky and another shot at a marquee win. At any rate, GO VOLS, and I’ll see y’all around 5ish. We should be able to take Ole Miss with our newfound inside game, but they have given us trouble in the past. Let’s see if we can pull a UT/MSU in the second time in a week we play a desperate bubble team.

Those Kentucky fans sure don't seem to care...
about the SECT.
Lebo
Rucker just re-tweeted that Lebo is out at Auburn.
Kentucky
Sure has come alive in the second half: they have outscored the Tide 25-16 in the second half. It was 25-10, but a quick 6-0 run by Bama has cut the Kentucky lead down to 55-51 with 8:37 left — oop, a bucket by Bledsoe makes it 57-51at the under 8 timeout. Alabama has a 16-5 offensive rebounding lead over Kentucky. Ho-ly crap. Both teams are shooting the FTs very well, too, but foul trouble seems to be more in Bama’s corner with 3 guys with 3 fouls and 1 with 4. For Kentucky, Patterson and Orton both have 3 fouls.
Tennessee Fans: We win at teh Internet!
Speaking of good FTs
Alabama just missed two. Big misses, and Chris Hynes for Bama just fouled out. Depth for an already undoubtedly tired team can really be a big issue down the stretch.

The ref has to blow the whistle on that Cousins "foul" on the three point shot
that’s either a foul or a walk. You can’t swallow your whistle.

Good effort...
Yet another encounter with a team playing their butts off… and Ole Miss is actually a good team. I’m fairly happy being down just one versus a team this hot.
As hot as Ole Miss was
And how bad we played during key stretches, I’m somewhat alright with being down just 1. It could be better, but it could also be much worse.

much better inside presence this half off transition
refs have missed a few calls, but have called five on Ole Miss this half already
I would argue that the calls have been going our way this half
...just apologize for not thanking me.
I would too

Ole Miss rediscovered their touch from three

Ole Miss
is 9-17 (53%) from beyond the arc. If they could make FTs (5-12 42%) this game might be much different.

we beat this team with free throws down the stretch in Knoxville, gonna need to out-shoot them there in the next eight minutes again. We’re 13-17 at the line, they’re only 7-18

chism
no matter how well he plays, i will always associate him with unfulfilled potential. no one in the sec has the same combination of size and quickness on the low block, yet he fancies himself a guard. i just don’t understand. he is flat unguardable in the low post. he should get 20 touches a game on the block with his back to the basket.

ironic
since rupp, from the refs to the crowd, is easily the biggest home court advantage in the sec, if not the entire ncaa. an average rupp game is worth about 5 shaky calls in favor of UK.
The Dual Threat, Official Enforcer/Stat Geek of MCM.
I agree on the refs...
but their crowd is not that great; too many rich old folks filling the lower bowl. Even lots of UK fans complain about it. I’ve heard many say they are envious of other home courts, including TBA.
