Championship teams find ways to win and have a special player(s) who can put the team on his back. This team has both. But wow, do the Vols cut it close. IDT a breath was taken in my house for about 40 seconds there at the end.
During the end of regulation and that overtime-- heart pounding stuff.
 
Did you ever see BK play? You realize he averaged 25.3 points and 13.2 rebounds for his career and was 3 time SEC POY. This was without the 3 pt line and no shot clock . Grant is GREAT but not quite at BK's level yet (imo)
King is the goat for it basketball and there is no doubt about it. I do love Grants game though and is fun to watch him and the rest of the team. Little tight I think need to adjust to the limelight and play better. They are good though!

I don't know what has happened to our defense. Opposing teams have seen something.

More than you want to know, but...

They used the Bama blueprint. They know we 5 position switch on D and count on a big to come down to defend the rim. So teams are moving their screen game further outside and back door cut. We are a relatively short team. If Alexander and Grant drop down to defend, that leaves the 3 open. Teams are knocking them down. The guys finally adjusted in the last few minutes and in OT by fighting through the screen by the defending big leaving room between him and the screener for the ball defender to get through. If the guy still got past him they would bring somebody from the wing to defend at the rim. Against Bama there was only one good 3 point shooter. Against Vandy, there were several.

Some teams do not have the roster to do that type O. We will roll them. This is the style we will have problems with going forward and all of the opponents know it now. The good news is so does our team and coaches so they can work harder on it. Fulk was pitiful tonight and nobody on the bench handles it well. Pons is decent at it, but is a liability on O. So Barnes has to watch his minutes.
 
Welp, didn’t plan on more than one bourbon tonight, but after that game, damn! Working on my 5th just to settle down! Helluva game! GBO!

I was so caught up, I went through a pint of bourbon without even realizing it and didn't log into VN until sometime late in the game. Glad I have the day off tomorrow.
