Oy, what a week to be sick. Many thanks to hooper for the Talking Points earlier today and also for sending the KenPom Wizbang Pythag Score Predicting Machine, which, by the way, estimates that tonight's score will be . . . 72-70, Cards. Well, you know what they say: don't shoot spare the messenger, spoil the child (or something like that), so blame hooper if we lose by two tonight.

Leave your pre-, in-, and post-game thoughts below. Oh, and use this for the North Carolina/Washington State game, too. Scouting report!

Go Vols! Hulk smash Toothy Bird!

Never been more nervous...
...for a basketball game in my life.

Nerves
Me too, almost feels like the '98 Fiesta Bowl ... I threw up at halftime -- and not due to drinking (except for the half-bottle of Mylanta I consumed)

I'd really rather not do that again.

They look beatable (at least at present they do)

Well...
As I tell everyone, I went to college at Tennessee ... I went to "Trade School" at UNC.  That always ticks the Tarheels off.

I would probably like them a little more but for their fans.  I think the university is a great place  -- I got a wonderful education.  I just don't like their fans.

by Joel on Mar 27, 2008 8:45 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Pretty much...
I live 5 miles from NC State, 15 miles from Dook, and UNC is another 9 past that.  The Dook fans are annoying, arrogant, and elitist ... but they will freely admit that they are that way, so I can live with it.  UNC fans are so elitist that they refuse to acknowledge they are that way...

I admit it, I pulled for several teams in the Dean Dome while I was a student there.

MM on Demand
Hey, all. This is my first time since last year using the MMOD thing. With them having cut away from the North Carolina game, and me fearing they'll do the same for the Vols game, I have it running now. Problem is, the picture is just jumping from frame to frame.

Oh, and now that I'm typing that . . . it's fixed. Is this an intermittent problem anyone else has been having?

Go Vols!

by Joel on Mar 27, 2008 9:01 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

It's a problem on their end.
It's the big problem with mass internet streaming feeds.  The whole concept is a retrofit onto a data-pushing system.  Cable was built specifically for streaming, while internet was not.  It's a work in progress.

by Hooper on Mar 27, 2008 9:06 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

What ticks me off...
I don't have the MMOD, but our CBS affiliate has something like 6 different cable channels they are using to show all the games at all times.  Despite that, with CBS' infernal belief that viewers aren't smart enough to figure out which game they actually want to watch, often they will cut away to the game they think is most important and all 6 channels will be simultaneously showing the same thing...

Ugh...

I'm thankful for MMOD
I watched most of the first 2 games on it.  I keep it running on my laptop and watch the TV.  MMOD is about 20 seconds behind so you won't miss anything if you have to switch over.

Oh, and Joel,
if the Cards do win by 2, I'm blaming Microsoft.  I made that KenPom predictor with Excel and since everything else seems to be global warming, Bush's fault, or Bill Gates's fault, I'll go with the software option.  ;)

There was a game when D-Wade played at Marquette
I don't remember the scenario at all, but he hit a big shot in the tourney, and I think the New Orleans Hornets had like the top NBA draft pick. The guy (not the "onions" guy) said something like "New Orleans, get ready for D-Wade!" The onions guy paused for a second, and then yelled "JAMBALAYA!!!"

I got Xavier in the Elite Eight, but lived in Charleston, WV for four years. Really, I've been pulling for WV because my bracket's pretty much shot, so that kinda sucks.

Even if they end up losing, my biggest hope is
that they play a great game.  I don't want them to end on a disjointed effort.  They're going to really have to work to make things work out.  Win or lose, I just want a high note for them to end on.

But you're right; there's a lot of game left and it's not impossible yet.

Thoughts:
We're still in this.

We sure used a lot of players I didn't expect to see so much of. Why? Some diabolical plan that we'll see the benefits of in the second half?

Whatever happened to Chris Lofton the "nation's best contested shooter?" He's only taking open shots now, and we may need him to take some contested ones.

Wheezy needs to hit his obligatory three. Perhaps that will make rebounding easier.

Our point guard only needs to do one thing. Protect the ball. Ramar can drive some, but Jordan can probably get that job done.

We've finally met a team that can stop Tyler Smith in the paint. If we anticipate that, we should be able to rebound his misses better.

Didn't we play multiple bigs at the same time with some success against Butler? Would that work here, if rebounding is the key?

Go Vols!

Do we have any PGs coming in?
I think we should have a few scholarships available.

well
poop.

I was hoping you guys would pull this out. Can't say I know a lot about Vols basketball, but I was hoping you guys would win.

Don't even have an ulterior motive. Been so overwhelmed lately I didn't even look at (much less fill out) a single bracket.

Go Big Red Nebraska!

Thanks.
It's a fun team to cheer for.  They're all very classy, and we're proud of 'em.  Take care of yourself.

Thanks!
It's been our best basketball season ever.  It's just tough to see the season end with such a bad performance.

Good luck to the Huskers this fall.  Hopefully Bo Pelini will get'em back to playing proper Nebraska football.

That's it
End of season. Every team but one ends with a loss. Ours was tonight.
Go Vols!

19 > 2
You're off the hook.  :)  It's been great hanging with all you Vols this season.  

Now, I've got a "honey-do" list hidden between the couch cushions I need to take a look at.

I'd have preferred 2
A close loss is better.  But thanks.  And thanks for adding.  This was my first real season following the roundy ball and you really helped me out.

Well, it was one heck of a ride this season...
Really sad to see it end, but I knew tonight would be a challenge.

Hats off to Coach Pearl and all the BasketVols -- especially the Seniors -- you will be missed.

On another note, I didn't get to see the last 2 minutes of the game, I think I'll post the letter I write to them over on Gate 21.

Thanks for putting the party together Joel.

Gentlemen, it was fun, and I enjoyed it.

Let me tell you what you missed
Ramar went 1 for 2 with 1 turnover.  He made a circus shot layup.  So you really didn't miss much.  Pretty much the same as the other 38 minutes.
