Didn't Tennessee have someone fall one short of the HR cycle last year?

C-MO hit for the cycle.

I can't remember. I remember Cmo hitting for a cycle though.

With the garage doors open?!???……IN MIAMI what else did he expect

Cant remember if someone on here posted or not. May have been @BenGrimm.

Someone posted that they'd dug too far underneath. Good news is they've found Mithril. Bad news is there may be a Balrog. Either way, they'd still need a $1M to justify.

I love it when they ask me where I came up with my number and I tell them that I built in a surcharge for the inconvenience of me having to pack and move. They don't like my 100% surcharge figure. That is usually when they stop texting me back.

Who could forget that? But I thought for sure someone was a GS away from the HR cycle

I'm very elementary in my basketball knowledge. There's a lot that I don't know and I'm just getting to the point now where I can predict what we are trying to do, and see when a play is shut down by the defense.

I don't think we do anything too complicated. I don't think most teams are either. Defending in basketball is all about discipline, timing, and at times giving up the lowest percentage look you can it seems. Our defense works so well because of the age, athleticism and intelligence of our players. They're disciplined and they all are able to diagnose what our opponents are trying to do so we are a step ahead.

We get beat on the rare occasions when the opponent is lights out on low percentage looks, it takes us too long to diagnose a scheme and the opponent exploits mismatches and we shoot poorly, or the opponent has Zach Edey.

I doubt Pope revealed too much or something we didn't already know. They beat us because their guys stayed disciplined, executed the defense to our scheme, and exploited mismatches. They have the talent to do that. And they shot above their average twice.

I've watched some videos on our offense and while most of it is pretty simple we actually do run a lot of actions. I struggle identifying the nuanced differences real time. To me it usually just looks like guys running around. There are some guys that break it down though and it is worth a watch.

Yeah it's a lot of chain offense (idk the basketball word for it) but just you run a play with options based on what the defense gives. And if the scoring play is covered it chains directly into the next play/motion until someone comes open for a score. Eventually as you chain these plays together the odds are a defense won't cover everything for a full 20-25 seconds once you get across half court. And sometimes you might dummy a motion/play to set up the play or look or mismatch you really want.

And we do it very fluidly. Its why we are so efficient offensively. Its also why we go through spurts where 1 guy is scoring or shooting back-2-back-2-back because he's probably got the mismatch on a defender who can't keep up. And when the defense plugs that hole, someone else gets the look.

How do we change the script on UK?

Obviously (at least it feels like) we're playing some really efficient offense at the right time.

It seems we need to score in the high 70s (not need but statistically very very helpful)

Honestly. Just play the Tennessee way and don't allow 50% from deep and Tennessee should win

It’s cool. But what will matter the most is landing a top 8 national seed. That ensures the road to Omaha goes through Knoxville.

Right. At the end of the day that's all that really matters.

Whoa….HTF am I just finding out about Tiger and Trump, Jrs ex wife???

You're way behind

How are people still getting got by Richard G. West. I mean it's just baffling.

Come on man..you dont know what a Cross - Gut - Double Stagger - Floppy is?
Amateur.

It was a combination of things, but part of it was our guys were stepping out to use cold spray and he thought up should have been speeding them up. The hilarious part is we proceeded to hit a home run immediately following his outburst. I think it was actually a ploy to get his team fired up, but it backfired.

So I'm other words
.. The gamesmanship worked?

Gotta keep your composure.

I think that was at tailgating.

I assume I'm right about this but I want to confirm. On the play where Cal Stark went home, that counts as a double where he advanced on an error right? That's why it's a cycle and not 2 triples?

I don't know all the rules for baseball stats, but it has to be that. And it makes sense.

As the talent level increases, will Kim still want all this volatility that’s inherent in her current system?

Every recruit coming in next year was nominated for McDonalds All Americans and 3 of them made it. We'll be fine next year with these recruits and some portal help. She'll have lots of talent on the floor.
