  • just like before the last game, Lofton needs nine three-pointers to move into 6th; not going to happen this game
  • is averaging 3.29 threes per game on the season
  • assuming there are 13 games left in the season (seven regular season and six post season), needs to average 5.08 threes per game
  • has hit five or more treys in six games this season (including an 8-20 performance against North Carolina A&T), so, you know, it's possible. You could win the lottery, or have an unnatural fondness for tax audits or something, too. No, really. It could happen.
  • Okay, then.

Really, though, I think Lofton only cares about winning, and bulldoggy for him for the attitude.

I have some scheduling issues today, so this is going up early. I'll be here for tip-off, but will likely have to leave before the game's over. In any event, leave your pre-, in-, and post-game thoughts below.

Go Vols! Hulk smash Bulldogs!

Go Jackson, it's you're birthday...we gonna party like it's your birthday...after we beat them 'Dawgs!

Funny you mention that
Because it was actually my youngest daughter's birthday yesterday, and we had a party at the Lollipop Shop this morning at 10:00.

Did Ted Valentine just say "I'll do whatever you want." ? Really?

Go Vols!

due to some of the lights being out. Looks bright enough to me.

Looks like Juanny
is devoting himself to Sundiata. Good move.
Go Vols!

Run 'em
Keep the pace up all game long, and they'll be sucking wind.

by David Hooper on Feb 16, 2008 3:16 PM EST reply actions  

Yeah
If their seven can keep up w/ our nine or ten for the entire game, we've got problems.
Go Vols!

by Joel Hollingsworth on Feb 16, 2008 3:22 PM EST up reply actions  

Odd start
Vols have come out flat on both ends of the court.  We're being beaten with backdoor cuts and noticibly struggling against the 2-3 zone D.

Ugh.

by Aerobab on Feb 16, 2008 3:19 PM EST reply actions  

Wow
Nice shot, Sundiata! Just like your name. New poll: most fun name in sports to say out loud:

Sundiata Gaines, or Nicky Anosike.

Go Vols!

by Joel Hollingsworth on Feb 16, 2008 3:24 PM EST reply actions  

Anosike
not even close.  The rhyme trumps.

by David Hooper on Feb 16, 2008 3:27 PM EST up reply actions  

Sippy cup
Last time we went to a Lady Vols game, my youngest thought they were saying "Nicky has a sippy."
Go Vols!

Woo for Lofton
Going to miss seeing that next year.

You can tell by the shine on that ref's bald head.

The Georgia coach
looks a little bit like Sammy Davis, Jr.

Just add height
Yeah. put him in the stretching machine, and he's a ringer.
Go Vols!

Man
Some horrible passing by us.

And Lofton's driving a lot. He's getting blocked much of the time or we could expect defenders to start leaving him a bit more open. As it is, though, they're beating him.

Go Vols!

Has Tyler Smith scored?
one announcer asks? "I don't think he's gotten to the basket," the other announcer answers.

Jackson the Mule says T. has 8 points.

Go Vols!

Tyler's Nickname?
"Trash Collector"?  The boy just simply doesn't miss on put-backs!

Looks like they're wearing out. Talk to y'all later.

So Long
But you're going to miss a doozie of a finish...Vols up 3 with 2:00 to go!

by Aerobab on Feb 16, 2008 4:59 PM EST up reply actions  

VOLS WIN!
T. Smith had a chance to ice the game from the line, but missed the front end of a 1-1.  UT fouls w/ 2.7 seconds on the clock.  Dawgs opt for the ole intentional miss, got the rebound, escaped to the 3 line, hurled up a shot and came up short.

74-71, UT.

Fantastic showing from the Bulldogs who were given NO shot in this game from anybody.  Game well played.
