Well, that was fun...

BB-00-BasketVols Well, that was fun...

So much for being No. 1 in the country, but it is what it is. That is why they play the games.

The refs didn’t exactly help Tennessee very much, but then again, the Vols only shot in the 30% range from the floor.

Still, I am convinced that there was a conspiracy and that Vandy used an illegal weapon to throw off the BasketVols shooting -- especially in the first-half when Tennessee was shooting in front of Vandy’s bench in that screwy gym that Vandy plays in. I am convinced that Vandy used the lights to put a glare in the eyes of the BasketVols. I am pretty sure I know how they reflected it too...

Hmmm... coincidence? I think not!

Either way, it was a great game. In the end, it also helps get the Vols ready for tournament time. I am not worried, I know that Bruce Almighty will get the men in orange ready to go again versus Kentucky this weekend. I know he will use this loss to build on and to help motivate the Vols as they head into the post-season.

Hate to lose the No. 1 ranking, but at least we proved we can get there.

In Bruce we Trust!

It's not that bad

In the big scheme of things it was just another bump along the long road. The Vols were at a disadvantage with the short turnaround, and Vandy had an entire week to prepare.

As you pointed out, they were miserable from the field, 20-for-61, and emotionally spent after Saturday's game.

Take all that into account and they still had a chance at the end.

They'll win the SEC outright and then it's on to the SEC and NCAA tourneys. We'll be fine and I expect to see the Vols get to the Elite Eight or better.

Nice Post.
