Recruiting Forum Football Talk IV

That’s just excuses….. the refs didn’t cause this

8 fouls within 10 minutes didn't help with their comeback? Pretty sure it did

It’s officially March and our team found that out today. No lead is safe in March. Always keep foot on pedal whether down 20 or up 20. Got to hit free throws. The good thing is we held on which is another thing you have to do in March defend against the big comeback run to squeak one out. Ziegler has been careless with ball last few games. It has to get cleaned up.

I also hate when we actually slow down our offense late running clock we struggle when ball isn’t moving. I feel like we can still run clock out with ball movement not waiting until 12 seconds to start the play

Hate to say but this is a one win SEC tourney team

 

[Nashvegas31]

Our lineups were out of sink due to foul trouble. They got our big men in foul trouble and took advantage in second half in rebounding.

VOLS teams always going to give you a nervous breakdown. Don't matter what sport.

plus playing away from Knoxville is not going to help.

 

[drvenner]

Had em all the way

They have beaten 3 top five teams.

That bama game cost us the regular season SEC title. And obviously not shooting 20% at Arky would have made up for that. So close.

 

[drvenner]

Great offensive game. 30 points over our average!!!!

I love Barnes but why oh why does Bruce not only have to be in the same conference as us but also cost us so many titles and championships?

Thank you all for your prayers. They took him to the hospital last night, his blood sugar was through the roof despite not having eaten. They discovered this morning he has severe pneumonia and was nearly septic.

They're going to be keeping him "a while" but he's on the mend and already feeling better. He's talking and aware now.

Glad for this news. Hope he keeps getting better

When I use to bet all the time…. I hated the team that I bet on to get up big in the first half…. They would almost always relax and the other team would make a run to make it close….

Is there ever been a more "Book It" bet than Duke tonight????

 

[drvenner]

we knew they would come back. how guys are reacting is telling.

And yet we win

Checkerboards is Caleb Calhoun...

Tennessee basketball should rest its starters vs. Arkansas

 

[drvenner]

Feels like a loss, even if we win.

Never

 

[Leeleesteeth]

Let's see. We beat arguably the hottest team in the SEC. Played well early. They played well late. Two evenly matched teams. Zeigler is an 85% + FT shooter who had an off GAME. Doesn't mean he won't shoot well moving forward. Undefeated at home. Yeah, overall pretty miserable.

 

[drvenner]

just the fact we blew a 20 pt lead this quickly is embarrassing. Never should have come to this. When it goes bad offensively it’s as bad as I’ve ever seen.

It's never embarrassing when you win. We played terrific to build the lead.

That is where we played them.

Never

I was just kidding. . .

This team may not have a killer instinct. Get up big and relax instead of going for the juggler and putting the game out of reach. I didn't watch the game, so I don't know if constant subbing of players stopped the momentum

 

[RiseToTheTop]

It's never embarrassing when you win. We played terrific to build the lead.

And played equally as bad to lose it in the blink of an eye. It’s ok to admit that they played great to build the lead and embarrassingly bad the way they blew it. Both can be true. Yes, the win is the goal and that’s great. Goes without saying.
