Calm down NegaVols

I didn't wanna do this but I'll be the voice of reason. If some of you don't realize we played the (arguably) the most physical team in college basketball yesterday, then ran out of gas today then idk what to tell you. They didn't play Houston and we did. Also, NCAA tournament is never 3 games in 3 days.. and our best players went 10-34 BECAUSE THEY WERE TIRED. It's November, it happens. Some of y'all's posts have ticked me off. We are just fine.

18-24 year old dudes celebrating a big win in literally the most hyperactive city in the world. Not really a good recipe for rest and recovery! Kansas's credit is that they didn't tire. I don't see any reason to worry about how we played in this one.

When you play three games in three days going deep into your bench can make a difference. Go Vols

Ha! You started a thread and posted the same thing in the game thread. Your frustration causing you to see double?

We didn't want you to do this either

Didn’t Kansas play 3 games in 3 days also (all without one of their best scorers due to injury then losing another to foul trouble early)?

Not usually big on fatigued factors but CLEARLY Gillespie was tired because his shots were coming up short. Tell tale sign of tiredness. However the turnovers IMO beat us tonight along with the two kids from Kansas we couldn’t stop. We’re definitely ok as a team though and I’m not too worried about this loss.

Kansas will be a 20+ win team again, will be in the tournament, and will be one of the things the nerds who analyze things call a "good loss" in whatever quadrant math they use. It's not like UT lost to Southeastern University of Northern Nowheresville

Anyone seriously bothered about a November loss to a good team in basketball need to follow a different sport.

This is the first thread I’ve opened since before the game but finally got to finish the game and this Got me ready to fight!!! lol
Front of the rim after front of the rim.
Guys two steps behind on defense.
Also had 2 super key guys tweek an ankle, I think on the same play.
And maybe possibly probably a little ticked they think/are the best team in the tourney and getting a little shafted in the pocket.

I had to add, OP but you are

Spot on

I always recall what, I think it was, Coach Calipari...may have been Pitino...said about losses like this early.

"I'll lose them all in December if it means I win them all in March. "...team will only get stronger from here due to this experience.
