    Who here remembers

    I remember watching the game on tv. I think it was a 3 pointer from the corner.

    What is the story with Bill Battle?

    Recruiting, and who knows, maybe player development. Anyway, Majors basically said the players were not in the same league as our rivals, when he took over. It was a long rebuilding process.

    Mashack next?

    My dr told me to focus on 3 pointers. No more dunks for me. Guess I could take Vescovi’s place.

    Awaka to the portal

    I must admit that I had major concerns about NIL, but overall I am happy that it has happened. I think it evens the playing field for places like Tennessee, where we really want to do it the right way. I do agree about the play for pay aspect though. At least we can now go out and find his...

    Awaka to the portal

    Just reading between the lines a bit, I think maybe Awaka was not as coachable as others. Now, I'm not saying he is a bad kid or anything of that nature, just that he did not pick up plays as well as others. Remember when Vescovi was spotted coaching on the sideline, using the white board? The...

    Thoughts on the hire of Kim Caldwell

    Yeah, lower division level coaches like Bruce Pearl never work out. (This is not a knock at you, Barn, It was just a quick way to make a point. Personally, I like our odds when said coach has an incredibly high winning percentage, with multiple championships won.)

    Poll: Who wins natty?

    In 1998, Mike Keith said, "If not now, then when?" about the UT football team. I will say the same for our basketball team. This is possibly our best chance ever - at least top 3.

    BTO’s Kentucky Postgame Report

    Yeah, its hard to beat what they did today, especially when we are so cold ourselves (first half mostly). I wondered what everyone else's take would be, but it seems most agree that we played well enough to win, with plenty of effort. Kentucky simply had a really great day from 3 point range.

    It's April and Rick Barnes decides to retire and join Saban. Who's your first 2 calls to?

    I can't say that I have inside knowledge about Pearl, but I do know that it was one of the most exciting times in Vol basketball history when he was our coach. I like coach Barnes, and I hope we keep him as long as he wants to stay, but if he retires soon, I would welcome Pearl back for another...

    We don't win tonight without Josiah and Santiago

    Santi with the board, coaching on the sideline was cool too!

    DK is the best Tennessee player of the 3 point line era

    It has been a while since I experienced Bernard King, but it looked like he took over the game in a King-like fashion. Definitely very different styles, but a lot of the same results.

    BTO’s Auburn Postgame Report

    If Knecht keeps rising to the occasion like tonight, it is hard seeing us not getting deep into the tournaments. This is our best shot in a long time.

    BTO’s LSU Postgame Report

    It's going to be a very different team next year, and Knecht is going to be missed SO MUCH (nah duh). How often do you have a player who can put the game away night in and night out? I think the young guys will do just fine, but they will have to find their way next year. I'm guessing the goal...

    Recruiting Football Talk VII

    Well of course, but many of them get off-topic, and it can take hours to get a picture of what is going on. I just thought that this particular thread was the closest I could get to a one-stop-shop for recruiting info. Like I said, I guess that's why I stay in the bball forum most of the time...
