Ranked Kentucky might not be,

But vulnerable they are, to a Tennessee Revenge.

What are the odds of a Jarnell Stokes appearance?

"Do the Titans have a miracle left in them in what has been a magical season to this point? If they do, they need it now. Christie kicks it high and short. Gonna be fielded by Lorenzo Neal at the 25; he dishes it back to Wycheck; he throws it across the field to Dyson. 30, 40, 50, 40, 30, 20, 10, 5, endzone...touchdown, Titans! There are no flags on the field! It's a miracle! Tennessee has pulled a miracle! A miracle for the Titans!"

looks like 50/50 based on everything I've read

he’s been practicing in the two deep, but we’re not sure when he actually makes it into the rotation

If I cared more about my UNC side, I'd call myself "Tar Volon," and that'd be awesome.

Ummm, probably between 6th and 10th at best.

Valdes, Casillas clearly better. I kinda think Neuer is. Hart, Julio Cesar, Cech, and probably a few others are a tick above him.

I know I’m missing a few, but it should also be noted that Howard’s demeanor suits the US side perfectly.

That's certainly true.

You don’t have to worry about rim outs on super precise or way off shots.

But the ones that do rim out just reek of bad luck to me. Of course, I’m making that observation through Vol-colored glasses. I’m happy to admit that.

I still have no idea what’s reasonable to expect from here on out.

Before our trip to Rupp, we play three SEC games: @Georgia, @Vandy, vs Auburn.

I don’t think we can win all three. But if we go 2-1, I’ll feel like we’re still in it for the 9-7 required to make the NIT (which is still a long shot). 1-2 or 0-3, and I might remain positive on Cuonzo (he’s starting to recruit well, and the improvement we’ve shown, as you point out, sends a message), but this season will be a complete lost cause.

our next six in conference:

true enough

but you also haven’t seen a good Tennessee coach walk into a cupboard as bare as Cuonzo did

Kevin O'Neill

The talent level when he got here was WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY lower than it is now.

The best player on that team may have been comparable to Tatum.

and in terms of actual recruiting numbers...

Bruce’s first team was theoretically less talented than this one, and with Buzz Peterson’s results being the only thing to go by… they certainly hadn’t exceeded expectations yet.

by Caban on Jan 14, 2012 2:24 PM EST up reply actions  

but recruiting numbers vs actual ability is a big gulf

we had an NBA player and one of the best three-point shooters of all time on that team. And they weren’t inexperienced freshmen either.

in general, taking guys who couldn’t produce under a bad coach is better than taking guys who couldn’t produce under a good coach

didn't realize you were counting him among the good coaches

since he went 14-34 in the SEC. but I imagine he would’ve had some success had he hung around

No Tennessee coach has ever walked into my kitchen

You should see the cupboard. Two cans Chef Boyardee. One can tuna. Three boxes Mac’n’Cheese. Random spices I’ve never used. And bread crumbs. Of course, bread crumbs.

No homer.

I think Cam Tatum is worth at least three cans Chef Boyardee

I was cautiously optimistic when we hired him

just after seeing him go from 3-15 to 15-3 in a couple years at Missouri State. Got more optimistic when we had all the Purdue guys talking about how well he recruited as an assistant there. Got less optimistic when we started signing a bunch of MVC-caliber players.

Now very optimistic

Florida vs. Kentucky

During the Florida game, there came a point — and this was actually relatively early in the contest, and well before the game was “over” for practical purposes (check game thread for confirmation) — when I had no doubt in my mind that we were going to win the game.

At no point during this game did I believe we were going to win.

This is probably completely meaningless. It could have been that my ravioli was undercooked, and that explains everything.

No homer.

by kidbourbon on Jan 14, 2012 2:23 PM EST via mobile reply actions  

Kentucky has a mental toughness that Florida didn't have

we frustrated Florida, to the point where we could let up a bit on defense and they still wouldn’t make their shots. Kentucky made big boy plays. We didn’t make our shots in that late stretch, but we didn’t give them anything easy either. They just made plays.

I agree. I felt like we were dominating Florida during that game.

This game felt more like we were playing gritty and hanging around, but never really just flat outplaying them.

"Do the Titans have a miracle left in them in what has been a magical season to this point? If they do, they need it now. Christie kicks it high and short. Gonna be fielded by Lorenzo Neal at the 25; he dishes it back to Wycheck; he throws it across the field to Dyson. 30, 40, 50, 40, 30, 20, 10, 5, endzone...touchdown, Titans! There are no flags on the field! It's a miracle! Tennessee has pulled a miracle! A miracle for the Titans!"

I was waiting for the other shoe to drop too...

just seems like UK’s talent level is so obscene that it would take a remarkable screwup to lose to our current team. Figured once they realized that need to take things seriously they’d pass us in a hurry.

by Caban on Jan 14, 2012 2:27 PM EST up reply actions  

interesting stat

Kentucky averaging 10 3pts a game but only hit 2 today.

by GiantCornelius on Jan 14, 2012 2:27 PM EST reply actions  

Nothing from Swipa, 2 from Golden

On Thursday it was Tatum and JRich who were conspicuous by their absence. With this team, we’ll definitely need everybody to contribute to have a shot at upsetting the UKs of the world.

I like Tennessee and Vanderbilt. There aren't many like me, and they're probably better off for it.

by VolnVA on Jan 14, 2012 2:32 PM EST reply actions  

we just couldn't drive without getting blocked

and that threw Golden waaaaay off his game. when one part of his game suffers, he lets it affect his three point shooting

with the talent differential

A good coach could have run us out of there. Calamari is not a good coach.

by danmarcel on Jan 14, 2012 2:33 PM EST via iPhone app reply actions  

The argument that Cal isn't a good coach...

…ultimately ends up resting on the following statement: “any coach could have success with that kind of talent”.

And that statement simply fails to support a conclusion that he is a bad coach.

No homer.

by kidbourbon on Jan 14, 2012 2:54 PM EST via mobile up reply actions  

also disagree...

I think he is a thoroughly mediocre game coach, but he’s not terrible.

Obviously the man knows how to make connections with the right people, and that’s a talent unto itself.

from Cuonzo:
“Just gotta play the game. They’d rather play than practice, anyway.”
“If the season started today, we’re just as good as anybody right now, as far as I’m concerned.”
“We can be really good.”

I believe you, Cuonzo. And I can’t wait until we are

This one is stinging at me

I know they are better than us, but we were in position to win the game. We aren’t going to keep getting chances like that to beat better teams.

With 13 mins left to play, opportunity was now here.

No homer.

by kidbourbon on Jan 14, 2012 2:49 PM EST via mobile reply actions  

some poor offensive stretches really did us in

we’ve been unable to play 40 minutes pretty much all year, and it didn’t change today. Especially when Golden and Stokes took a breather. Doesn’t make it suck any less though

Outstanding game.

The Orange and White seem to be poised to make an early return to the SEC conversation. I see big wins in the future for this team.

Impressive effort.

finally getting around to looking at stats

as usual, we can’t win if somebody is ice cold. Today we had two somebodies, as Golden and Swiperboy combined for 1/12 from the field. Only Stokes (4/5), Richardson (2/2), and Maymon (4/7) shot 50%+. And Jeronne had an under-the-radar double-double with 15 points and 10 boards. Also 70% FT shooting, going 7/8 after the first two bricks
