It's Tourney Time in Tennessee!
- If you're looking to kill an hour or two before the Tennessee-Long Beach State game this morning, the entire transcript of Tennessee's press conference yesterday should do the trick.
- The Daily 49er says Long Beach State is ready and has a nice audio slideshow from the Long Beach State perspective. Did I hear that right? They've been practicing against eight defenders?
- Ugh. Quote from JaJuan Smith:
I think they've got one or two players who stand out on defense. But as a team on a whole, I think we can do about whatever we want to do to them. I think they're not going to cover for 30 seconds. If we get an offensive rebound, we've got a good chance to turn that into a bucket, because I just don't see this team covering for 60 seconds.Maybe they wouldn't have defended well, but now that you've said that . . . . I vote to keep that kind of stuff to ourselves until after the game. Seconds?
- Dave Hooker has a free podcast previewing today's game.
- Uh-oh. Lofton is switching shoes ($). The last time he did that, he went into a slump and was only able to get out of it by returning to his pre-injury treads.
