I said the same thing last Saturday.

It didn't take.

Fair enough. It was a tough environment. We still have some away games to have to endure and hopefully we can take some lessons and make adjustments. I don't have the answers.

But come tourney time, we won't have to worry about crowds with that level of hostility. IDK, just trying to keep the faith.

There was also a spot where Grant got fouled twice at the rim....then Bone tries to push on transition and a LSU guy just ran into him. No call.

If the refs want to call a tight game, that's fine. But the inconsistency of how they call fouls changes the game.

When UT is playing our ball we get inside and play physical, when Kyle gets 2 bar calls within 3 minutes of opening the game it changes our game. We really need Pons & Bowden to step up. Both have length and can guard 1-3/4.

I hear ya. Abd I don't disagree. Just a bad time of the year to even think about losing your mojo.

And we've at least misplaced it...

I think the first foul on Kyle was a makeup after Wade was crying. Then they called another moving screen on Pons after Wade cried. It’s absolutely ridiculous.

I remember saying back when we had 12 games left I thought 8-4 was possible...

Everybody called me crazy!!! I hope I'm wrong and we don't lose 2 more, but honestly a Final Four run and I won't care about SEC Championship at all.

Hope we lose out. We handle losing better (read less annoyingly) than winning.

No reg season title
No sec tourney title
FF4 is the only way this season isn't a bust

Are we all okay in here? No one's on suicide watch, right?

I get it, we need to get back on track and time is running low. We'll be fine, though.

Everything is fine. But what does "fine" mean?

We've hit the tough part of our schedule and, while a regression had to be expected, we don't look distinguishably better than the above average teams in our average league.

We don't "know" anything yet of course, and there's a lot of basketball to be played, but we don't appear to be a team getting better as the season progresses.

Co champs LOL if you're not good enough to win it outright then who cares
Yeah TN hasn't won the SEC tourney in how long. And has lost to the two schools that will be seeded above us. That gives me a lot of confidence
Im not saying they can't make a run in the tournament put their play lately hasn't exactly been a vote of confidence. Plus the fact that we are 1-3 against ranked teams this year.

Yeah, that's ********.

We lost to UK at Rupp in a bad game. Most people not wearing orange blinders will say UK is the best team in the SEC.

We lose a close game on the road in OT to what most people think is the 2nd or 3rd best team in the SEC.

To call a 24-3 (12-2) team who is TIED for 1st in the SEC barely above average is stupid. We've literally beaten all the "average" teams like redheaded step children all year. Vandy & Bama shoot lights out and still lose despite it.

I get it... we're not playing good ball. But come on, don't be -that- fairweather. This team is a great team, and I'd rather drop close ones in regular season than in March. We just need to get healthy & play team ball.

Problem I see is that we seem to have lost whatever we had at the first of the season. I'm not sure we get it back.

You know good and well if we don't win atleast a share of the conference championship you will be on here whining and bitching just like you are now. Pretty much how you are all the time. So do us a favor and stfu.

Not much difference between a 2 seed and a 3 seed in the SECT... or even a 4 seed, really. Still have to get past LSU or UK, who'll be 1 and 2. The Vols have probably played themselves out of the regular season title... and a top seed in the NCAAT, unless they win the SECT. Just have to play the hand we're dealt going forward.

Just need to win the last game we play to cut nets.

I'd much rather see a dip now than in the tournament. This is an elite eight team, and should make it that far.
