Looks to me like they hate each other too. I am just glad we have Bruce Pearl. He has done a great job with a team that lost 5 players from last year that were players he should have had on this team. Think about it he lost R. Smith T. Smith D. Crews J. Tabb and E. Negadu what could have been. We still could make a run hope we do but he is bringing in top talent for the years to come. Go Vols!!!
That being said, it's still not enough for a 29 point swing.
That's all that really needs to be said. Line these two teams up ten times and UK wins nine of them. There isn't a answer for Cousins and good luck trying to keep Wall out of the lane.]It is simple. They are better than us[/B]. They have two players who are NBA top three picks and equivalent or better role players. Today they came out and punched us in the mouth, and a combination of them wanting it as much or more, us being tired, and us being unable to make shots kept us constantly behind the eight ball. Once we finally ran out of gas they just rolled us over.
Also, Steven Pearl cannot be on the floor with Cousins in the game(Dane would box out Cousins, no one on our team now seems to know how to do that), and Kenny Hall went from exciting young player to questionable bench piece over the course of the year. The guy has literally shown nothing in two months. We really need to get another big in this class.
This basketball team just isn't consistent from game to game. The only consistent thing about them is that they're inconsistent.

Also FWIW, the refs didn't cause UT to totally freak out when UK applied their super aggressive extended man to man defense. They were totally unprepared for that.
