Talent isn't the issue; and unlike some recent years, neither is bench depth (fatigue factor). Certain key members of this team are still learning to play through the mental game caused by the inevitable frustration that is SEC officiating. tonight's 2nd half made that abundantly clear. This team c...

That didn't last long. NET Ranking slipped to 119 (I thought a relatively close game AT a top opponent should be rewarded by the NET). Meanwhile, RPI is up to 105. On a related note: South Carolina's NET jumped a whopping ONE SPOT after its win at Kentucky. Kentucky is also UP ONE SPOT. ??? Maybe t...

I listened to him speak to the radio crew after the game. He replied to the radio host's postgame intro description about things UT did to win by chuckling, "and they fouled us a lot." And he said that UT is the best team in the conference, referencing them as pros (though not literally or...

1-13 on three point shots this half, the radio team said.

Historically we play them and UK better at home but one can't help wishing.

TN has much better shooters plain and simple. Our jacking up 3's without getting set doesn't help. Then everyone goes cold. A three is fine when planned or open. Not so good when rushed, off balance or too far away. Now Robbins with a nice shot but UT returns with a shot. Wright drives for two. We ...

Having Trey, Ansong and QMB in during a critical stretch makes no sense. Why not use Dort who played phenomenal in the 1st half or use Lawerence? Putting ourselves in to deep of a hole. Trey has been weak at driving and dribbling today. He missed shots but did make one important 3. Maybe someone is...

At the time out, the radio team said that both coaches went to talk to the refs. Barnes directing behind the scenes i guess.

Thomas scored! Thank goodness he did something for a change; he was having a bad night.

Then UT scored. We trail by 10

UT refs strike again

Beautiful, athletic shot by wright.

Then UT scores.

UT 49 VI 41

Now Wright with 3 fouls.

They are the ones condoning this bull$hit, after all.

They might give the refs a raise. They don't want their frontrunners to lose.

Need a timeout probably to regroup but a tv timeout was coming up anyway.

He needs to tell his coach when that happens. When a player talks back to a ref they can tee you up.

Glad Stack pointed out the goal tend.

Crazy how good we look tonight and have not received a single beneficial whistle. The 2nd foul on Robbins was a joke, the charge on Trey during a fast break was even more egregious. I realize we likely wont get 12 from Shelby and 6 from Dort in the 2nd half but maybe Stute can get hot. Trey made on...

I have to admit. It's been fun to watch the past few games and I scratch my head why we couldn't play this "brand" of basketball until we already blew our post season with our non-conference performance. It sometimes takes game experience to get battle tested enough to play with poise in ...

Holy cow

Jordan Wright gets a fast break layup to lead it by two at the half.

Wow! Stute tied it with a 3.

37-37

29 seconds in the half.

Wish Stute could have skipped stumbling into a foul. At least UT missed the FTs.
