Recruiting Football Talk VII

[TN-POSSUM]

We had church, so I'm just tuning in..... what's happening with the b-ball team? We went up 26 pts and got bored?

*Nevermind. ^^^^



We turned the juice back on and won by 20!

GBO


*we need auburn to hang on now. bama needs some losses.

 

[DD4ME]

We got nuclear, went cold, but still closed up 20. Good night overall. You can clearly see when this team gets tight we flow through Knecht. That works for now, but we need a second go to IMO. I see glimpses where maybe that could be Aidoo. He and Knecht play well off each other with Knecht driving which often leaves Aidoo open. Then we just need one of our perimeter shooters to be hot. Tonight that was Gainey. JJJ others.

We have the toughest game Saturday out of the top-4 teams.

But get past A&M and good chance we'll string together a 7-game win streak before our downstretch

 

[jakez4ut]

Certainly glad we won big and there was a lot to like, but LSU dominated on rebounding and the free throw misses were concerning. Strong finish though.

The rebounding stands out. But that was literally the only part of the game LSU could hang their hat on. We won or dominated every other stat... Steals blocks assists...


And early on we weren't missing that much so there weren't as many opportunities.

Still, I get it... It needs to get better... It's been better.

Good news... Another solid game offensively... Multiple contributors... And the defense was really good.

Glad I go to see it live. GBO!

Zeigler drove the paint worked the baseline and scored a bucket that was akin to this tonight.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Auburn is gonna be a really, really tough game.

 

[DD4ME]

Auburn is gonna be a really, really tough game.

Good test.

 

[TheRain]

I'm not surprised he feels lost. He put all his eggs in the Saban basket.

 

[TN-POSSUM]

81 free-throws (and counting) in the gump/barn game.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

I'm not surprised he feels lost. He put all his eggs in the Saban basket.

Sounds like he is just stating what most of us feel. What is the magical answer?

 

[InVOLuntary]

Good game for the Vols tonight. Got a little lazy/lost focus there for a stretch and lost momentum. That can come back to bite you sometimes because it can be hard to get it back. They wrestled it back and made it comfortable.

On another note, where's Freddie?

 

[TheRain]

Another good show. The Dawgs are mad at Herbie.

 

[InVOLuntary]

I'm not surprised he feels lost. He put all his eggs in the Saban basket.

Sankey: "WWSD?"

 

[Devo182]

Up to #4 in KenPom...


Up to #12 in offense. Tied for 4th on defense.


In the years since KenPom originated (2002) and pre-Barnes, our highest ever ranking was 10th under Martin...and 13th under Pearl. We're on the way to not just the highest ranking, and rating, but 3 straight top 10 rankings.

We're currently +27. (313th luckiest team)
2nd best rating was 2018-2019 at 26.
Then...2 years ago at 25.

Under Martin...24 (313th luckiest team)

Under Pearl...22 (4th luckiest team)


Certainly our standards have changed a LOT.

 

[TN-POSSUM]

99-81 Auburn ......finally

Down goes bama

Good job, Bruce




*We needed that.....

 

[TheRain]

Sounds like he is just stating what most of us feel. What is the magical answer?

It was never running to Congress trying to roll back the clock. That was a joke.

They should have spent that time working within the system, with other schools.

Anal cyst Nick Saban

Almost definitely well not be watching

 

[TheRain]

And don't make it worse with enforcement that was doomed to fail.

 

[drvenner]

Eh, seems like ole knoxVol52 called this move. Saban to GameDay.

Strain yourself why don't you

 

[TN-POSSUM]

Eh, seems like ole knoxVol52 called this move. Saban to GameDay.

 

[drvenner]

It's weird how it does that to most people I know.

How many people do you know that take LSD?

 

[SoilVol]

If the Vols had lost there'd be 60 pages about it with about 10 miserable oafs saying "I told you so" and insulting Barnes and JJJ.

Those ~10 miserable oafs have been silent since halftime Saturday.

Announcers a min ago - well at one time UT had a 26 pt. lead, acting like we were in trouble. Did they even watch the UK game or any of the other games? This team builds a lead. Let's teams cut it in half and then rebuilds it. It has to be frustrating as hell as an opponent to get the rug pulled out from under you when you think you're cutting into things but anyone that's watched them knows they've done this all year.

Second game in a row we have gone wire to wire. 80 minutes in a row in which we have been in the lead in basketball games. Is that good?
