Here's my thoughts on the game after returning from St. Louis.
1) Chism and Prince were warriors again. Their elevated play brought us to that point.
2) Melvin Goins absolutely goes 110% all the time on defense. Very impressive.
3) The only thing I would have done different if I was Bruce would have been to play Tatum more and Hopson less against Mich. State.
4) If Brian Williams plays at this level next year, we once again will be very, very formidable at the post with Harris coming in.
5) Bruce Pearl completely has my support; going to the elite eight and being one bucket away from the Final Four with this team considering what happened was nothing short of remarkable.
6) Scotty Hopson is the most disappointing recruit I can ever remember at Tennessee. His not contesting the three hit by a Mich. State player (not sure who it was) that gave them the lead with around 2 minutes to go was absolutely inexcusable. To me, Cam is the better player.
7) Finally, our team, with the exception of Hopson, left it all on the floor and absolutely played their hearts out. When the buzzer sounded, even though we lost, I couldn't have been prouder of our team, our coach, and our program.
Go Vols!
