The official UT v. LSU game thread

[tidwell]

The calls didn't matter. Fatbody completely dominated the second half.

 

[OWB]

Basketball's not over just yet .... we've got at least one more game.

Another game that's not played in TBA. I think we all know how that's going to turn out. Oh well, Vols have probably done better than they should have this season. I can't really be that upset about it. Two NCAA tournaments in two years.

 

[volinexile]

I had a nervous feeling coming into the game. Hate to see it turn out the way it did.

 

[MemphisVol]

i would feel alot better if we could go deep in the tourney...

If you mean the seeds, I'm pretty sure after watching that we're going to go really, really deep down there come bracket time...

We are the Yankees of NCAA basketball. Great regular season, choke in playoffs.

Agreed.

Hopefully it will get better.

I'd go with the Braves for that analogy. At least the Yankees finished it out a few times.

 

[tidwell]

I was impressed with Ramar, anyway.

Hey, we've finished it out faster more times than the Yankees ever could....

 

[GAVol]

Most definitely . . .but we've got to develop an inside presence or guys like Ramar are going to hate life.

My question is how in the world did that LSU team finish 16-14 and have the worst SEC record in the league? How does Brady take a team that has so much talent to the NIT and not the NCAA?

Has to be the worst coaching job in a long time. I guarantee you that there aren't but 15 teams in the country that wouldn't trade their talent for LSU's.

Yea i agree with that... UT only has a couple athletes and we still seem to run with anybody in the country and Brady has tons of athletes that are long and can play and he barely gets them out of the first round of the SEC tournament... This loss hurts a lot but just wait until we get some talent next year and the year after that, UT will probably be one of the top teams in the nation in a couple years

I would trust a freshman over a junior in jajuan. Thats pathetic.

 

[Mullet Vol]

I was impressed with Ramar, anyway.

Yeah, there were a couple of passes that he made tominght that were unreal. However, there was one to Tabb that could have been better. Good game though by Ramar.

 

[MemphisVol]

It's pronounced.... oh, never mind

 

[OWB]

Most definitely . . .but we've got to develop an inside presence or guys like Ramar are going to hate life.

And we have an overweight project coming in next season from what I hear.

 

[OldHickoryOrange]

Hey, we've finished it out faster more times than the Yankees ever could....

to be fair, you cant lose a 7 game series in 1 game :lolabove:

lets keep him overweight and tell him to jump on everyones backs. works well enough for lsu

 

[MemphisVol]

The calls didn't matter. Fatbody completely dominated the second half.

You're assuming those were unrelated

 

[straggler]

And we have an overweight project coming in next season from what I hear.

will our overweight player get the same love from the refs that lsu's did tonight?

 

[BigOrangeNation1]

Let me say one thing, give the credit to LSU, dont blame Tennessee. Temple didnt allow Lofton to shoot the ball at the end of the game, and thats where Lofton thrives. Big baby was non-existent in the first half and just came alive. They played with too much pride and passion. Good job LSU.

 

[MesoVol]

Well, not even Bruce Pearl can break the UT SEC Tournament curse.

I agree with some of the others here, that was about as bad a game from J Smith as I've seen him play in 2 years. I think the whole post season awards thing may have got in his head.

 

[getyopopcornready]

ofcourse big baby is goin to be dominant when he weighs nearly 300 pounds and is comin down on our guys backs the whole game

 

[Mullet Vol]

From what I hear Prince has been doing the same thing in practice that LSU did to us tonight. Long and athlethic.

 

[OWB]

will our overweight player get the same love from the refs that lsu's did tonight?

Of course not. He will foul out with only 5 minutes of playing time.

 

[orangegt5]

Too bad they didn't go ahead an slap Brady with a "T" after his little song and dance. Then there might not have been a need for OT. Not blaming the refs or anything but if that had of been CBP's little song and dance it would have been a "T" before you could have said "T".

 

[hatvol96]

Sitting here at halftime of SDSU-CSU, I'll quote an email I received from an individual who shall remain nameless:"Since Bruce Pearl obviously invented basketball, how good does John Brady have to be to have a winning record against him?" I am so glad I was nowhere near the Georgia Dome or a television during that one.
