| The Section 103 Postgame Report - Belmont
1. Belmont is Butler South. Tennessee will not play a team all year that has a better understanding of how their coach wants things done.
2. When Sherron Collins sees the tape of Alex Renfroe using Bobby Maze as a turnstile, he's going to need a bib to keep the drool off his shirt.
3. Josh Tabb made the three biggest plays in the game. Tennessee doesn't win without him.
4. Bruce should be very thankful that Dotson didn't go to Vanderbilt. He would fit their system perfectly.
5. Kudos to the crowd for a nice applause when Coach Byrd's dad, legendary Knoxville Journal columnist Ben Byrd, was shown on the video board.
6. Georgia is the worst 7-3 team in the history of college basketball. If they win 5 SEC games, the league should be stripped of its automatic NCAA bid.
7. The "Arizona is going to be OK" talk can stop now. UNLV smacked them back to reality.
8. Huge win for Minnesota. Now, they have a nonconference win that will resonate with the Selection Committee.
9. Tom Izzo never stays down for long. The Spartans going into Austin and winning today bodes poorly for the rest of the Big Ten.
10. VCU-Oklahoma tonight should be worth watching. Jeff Capel going up against the guys he recruited. |

| I came away pretty impressed with Tabb's game today as well. He seems to be improving on a consistent basis rather than playing well then being invisible and so on.
I only caught a glimpse of the Michigan State/Texas game, but I could have sworn it was on the Houston Rockets court.

| Hat, do you see this year being at all like the team from 2 years ago, that struggled early but got things together later in the year?

| Great sturr, Hat. Collins hung 19 against Temple. We might need Tabb on the point for KS. I'll have to tune in to the OK game tonight.
I can't believe you took the time to post this while UConn and Zaga are in a thriller  | |

| I honestly thoguht UT was going to be close to as good as they were last year... I thought young play would help to overcome the losses of Jujuan and Lofton.

| This team doesn't do the little things that the past 2 teams did. This team can't shoot with that team, and until they figure that out and attack the basket they will struggle. Lofton or Smith would make this team a lot better. | |
