Gonna have to overcome the home whistles today

Sadly, this will probably be the case in conf vs conf play games today... would be interesting if someone could research who and where the refs are from.

Make no mistake, we will be playing small ball... whether we want to or not guard wise. There perimeter guard height is just enough to bug our short guards (not trying to start a fight Z...) unless we can out quick them to a 2 point made shot and one.

The other thing is they seem to also play significant minutes 10 deep... so do we, but they shoot almost 10% better free throws. That gets me back to your point that fouls and free throws could determine this game. Plus, "if they're jumpers, we become bumpers" so could hinder Fulky, Uros, ON height

ON, we need you to play like you can. Uros, we need you play like you should.

Texas’ top 9 players from a scoring perspective are all Juniors or Seniors. They bring a ton of experience which in and of itself can be tough to overcome. We have to play well and play smart.

Yes indeed, although since they have a number of transfers, I think the chemistry has suffered a bit, which has contributed to performance below preseason expectations.

Hello Volnation! I will be watching the game with a heavy heart today as my wife and I had to put down our eldest dog.

I look forward hanging out this evening and talking about the game. Go Vols!

This is sad Vol94. Dogs are a part of our families and many times a very important part. They were lucky to live in a loving home

I just hope it's not an ugly spotlight game like Texas Tech. They are obviously very similar teams in regards to how they approach the game. It would be big seeding win for sure.

When you look at it that way, the fact Texas hasn’t gotten more from this teaming is pretty surprising. That’s a LOT of experience they’ll be losing next year. Could be a rough job for Beard in 2022-2023.

I was reading the questionnaire report for this game and they said that Sark might be coaching for his job in 2023 if he does not do better win wise in 2022.
