"We'll end up blowing out teams like that."

Memphis Tigers Post-Game

Reporter: "Kyvon and Mike, both of you, before you guys get out of here, you guys have played now some of the best teams in the country close. There's LSU, you guys had this game, is it a sense of disappointment because you didn't pull the upset, or do you realize how close you are to being with one of those elite teams or either of those elite teams?"

Kyvon Davenport: "Close is never good enough. I feel like we're better than these teams. And I feel like we just got to execute more. And we just gotta keep working. We got the same kind of team -- same type of team they got, even better. And I feel like we got better players too. We just all gotta just keep working together, playing together, and we'll -- we'll end up even blowing out teams like that."

Hmm .... okay then, if you say so.

He sounds real petty

 

[Cdywolfe]

That game was never close...

 

[VolBricks]

maybe when Calamari was coach, not now buddy.

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

They're trying to play NBA style, but with playground level ability. Refs that call it by the rule book would have had the Memphis starting 5 fouled out at close to halftime.

 

[vollygirl]

Bless it.

 

[allvol123]

Bwahaaaa.

Vols would beat them 10 times out of 10.

 

[VOLnVANDYland]

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha (deep breath) ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

 

[SDV]

The talent difference between the two teams was glaring as soon they stepped on the court. If we played them 10 times, that would probably be the closest game. They played thier Super Bowl today

Bingo

Calamari?!?

I like calamari a lot better than Calipari.

 

[Dallasbowlin]

Can we just play them Again tomorrow?

 

[VolsSportsFan]

Try playing us and not doing the flopping. It wouldn't have been close bro.

Not gonna beat top ranked teams playing playground ball Memphis!

 

[Jax_Vol]

The only part he got right is "blowing"...

They going to do a lot of that.

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

I hope that the NCAA and TV won't let their lust for a name like "Penny" interfere with their ability to promote good basketball. This was an absolutely horrible, un entertaining, whistle fest.

He won’t ever be “blowing out teams like that”. This Memphis team is bad and he’s a senior.

Ha-ha. But Davenport did ball out today. Too bad, he won't be back next year when the Vols rout 'em again at TBA. Williams, Walker and Burns will have Wiseman wishing he hit the weight room when they take his heart with their physicality

They say ignorance is bliss.

 

[DNBVOL]

"You guys had this game"
When? Lol
They never had the game whatsoever. Bless their hearts

 

[BigOrangeMojo]

Chris Paul probably thought Memphis whined and flopped too much for his liking....

 

[Power T-Rev]

Just take the L

 

[JohnnyJava]

They reflect the arrogance and ignorance of their head coach perfectly

 

[VOLED]

Always best to do your "talking" on the court. Before the game or after a loss might be the worst times to run your mouth

I don't think he meant it like that; based on the context. I think his phrasing was just meant this was another big game they were playing.
