Yet people still do not consider TBA to be one of the tougher or toughest venues to play in college basketball...

give it time..we need to build a better reputation. being good at home for 3 years is not saying much when teams like UNC, Duke, Kansas, ect. have been doing it for decades

No, I understand that. I was going to say we don't have the history of the other big name schools, but at the same time 33 is something to be said for.

I wouldn't want to play Tennessee in Knoxville. Can you blame Calipari? Can you blame anyone? The excitement over there now reminds me of yesteryear when Ernie and Bernie were playing for the Vols on a cold, winter Saturday night. Go Vols!!

On the way home yesterday, I heard Calipari on the radio pre-game show talking about how he told his players that they needed to play with intensity on every single possession. Of all the games they played last year, he chose the Tennessee game to illustrate his point. His words were, "Some of you here couldn't have been in that game." Smart man. Those players will be ready for a battle when they come to our house.
Just thought I'd add that tidbit for those interested.

Good stuff, MphsBlues. Speaking of intensity, I thought that last night they played as hard as they possibly could have against UTC. Even Prince was diving for loose balls. They were maniacs tracking down everything they could. I even thought Hopson stepped up his effort a good bit. They play incredibly hard for the Pearlmeister.

So realistically how many games do you think the streak will get to? Also, i was wondering what the longest home win streak currently and ever is, thanks.

1 BYU - 48
2 Notre Dame - 38
