Chris Lofton All-Time Career Three Watch:

Player School Record Needed to break
J.J. Redick Duke 457 60
Keydren Clark St. Peter's 435 38
Curtis Staples Virginia 413 16
Keith Veney Lamar & Marshall 409 12
Doug Day Radford 401 4
Gerry McNamara Syracuse 400 3
Chris Lofton Tennessee 398 1
Michael Watson UMKC 391 -6
  • Lofton needs three three-pointers to move into 6th; probable this game
  • is averaging 3.4 threes per game on the season
  • assuming there are 12 games left in the season (six regular season and six post season), needs to average an even five threes per game
  • has hit five or more treys in seven games this season (including an 8-20 performance against North Carolina A&T)

Again, I think Lofton only cares about winning, but we'd love to see him both win and get the record, right?

Yes, there's no TV tonight, so we'll be stuck watching stats and listening to internet radio. Aerobab and hooper may or may not provide exclusive (!) text messages live from Thompson-Boling.

Leave your pre-, in-, and post-game thoughts below. Assuming things are going well in Knoxville, use this thread to discuss the Memphis-Tulane game this evening, too, which is being telecast.

Go Vols! Hulk smash First Tiger!

Hey, Dustin
Welcome to RTT! Glad you're jumping in. This thread might end up being a bit light since there's no t.v., but who knows?
Go Vols!

Quan
Quan Prowell, Quantez Robertson. Don't believe I'd ever heard of anyone whose name starts with "Quan."

by wvvol on Feb 20, 2008 7:43 PM EST reply actions  

Yeah
That is odd to have two of them, huh?

Wonder how many Quantum leap phrases the Auburn press has used this year?

Go Vols!

by Joel Hollingsworth on Feb 20, 2008 7:49 PM EST up reply actions  

hopefully,
we can exploit quan prowell since hes the only "big guy" they have.

Hey
Welcome Dustin.

Hey, we are all planning on going to Memphis on Saturday and sitting courtside.

Tickets are only $10,000.  You in?

Go Vols!

I think . . .
. . . that gramsey712 wants you to send the ten grand to him on the promise that your ticket will be in the mail.

let me just get my wallet out
Dustin

by volfan5216 on Feb 20, 2008 7:50 PM EST reply actions  

Sounds like
we have both Williams and Chism in at the same time. Sort of odd when Auburn's lineup consists of four guards.
Go Vols!

No excuse
For Chain Netz missing free throws.  That absolutely drives me crazy.

Ramar
Sounds like Ramar's making it a point to drive to the basket more tonight.
Go Vols!

3 on Prowell
Wow. They're short-handed already.
Go Vols!

From hooper
Vols r better inside. AU rebounding better. Refs letting them play.
Go Vols!

At least you quoted him correctly
You are already a better journalist than John Adams.

Hopefully
we get up by 20 then just let the Discombobulator shoot everytime down the floor.
Go Vols!

Almost there
In almost no time at all.

You, sir,
are awesome. We get up by 20 and Lofton hits a three. You are already a better coach than Caliparia.
Go Vols!

The Quans
both have three fouls.
Go Vols!

From hooper at the game
Vols fumbling many rebounds. many.

My response: Sounds like a football fan still getting used to basketball!

hooper just called
We were breaking up on both ends, but I did hear him say that "fumbles" is the right word. Said we would have been leading in rebounds, too, but we kept dropping them.
Go Vols!

Come on
Give it to Lofton!
Go Vols!

I second that. He's only 1-4 on threes.
