Seems like it was Ziti in response to a Barnes loss to CCM-coached Mizzou in Barnes’ third season at Tennessee, IIRC. Close loss (59-55), and Tennessee reeled off 11 of their next 13 to finish 23-7, an appearance and close loss to UK in the SECT finals, and the program’s first NCAAT appearance in 4 years.

I don't know if that's exactly what BTO is remembering, but I do remember what you're talking about. Shocking I know, but Ziti seemed to irrationally respond to that loss. I also know he later claimed it was because he hates CCM so much, or something like that.

This game doesn't necessarily have a huge impact on our season as a whole. You can lose and recover, but man it would be a huge statement win to pull this one off. I'm sure the fans want this one more than the coaching staff probably does, but this is the game I want most this season for a number of reasons. It would also be sweet for Barnes to get win #700 against Penny. I think we win a close one, but that is contingent on Bowden playing well. He's been awful for 4 straight games, and I don't think this team is good enough to win against the best teams with Bowden disappearing. If he is ice cold yet again, you really don't have a secondary dependable scoring threat on this team.

I think JJJ is going to show out this game, I believe he is going to be a big game player for us! Bowden has been a bit tentative. Bowden is going up against each teams best defensive players each night. He's struggled with that a bit but I think he goes for 20+ with youth guarding him Sat.

Sounds about right...and then Ziti disappeared not too long later.

Kinda interesting to go back and read these post in hindsight....
