Hat, what do you think our chances are vs Florida.

Would you guys stop bitching about what this team isn't and enjoy it for what it is?! :crazy:

Flash back to Wade Houston and get your mind right...

I remember a Wade Houston game where we had the ball for the last shot and possibly the win, but were unable to get the ball inbounds after a timeout.

OK, when you we win the National Championship, I'll tell give you your props. Until them, I maintain my stance.

yahoo sprots has got the stats

Exactly the example I was about to post.

Hakim Warrick is averaging double figures in the NBA. Gerry McNamara was a really good college player. Without Manning, that Kansas team would have finished last in the Big Eight.

 

[allvol123]

no love for John Wallace around here.

I did love his performance that year. My friends and I use to draft 5 players at the start of the tournament and whoever's 5 players scored the most points combined over all the games, won. Jon Wallace was my winning ticket that year.

Decent. I just fear we will get absolutely annihilated on the boards. I don't think we can make Green turn it over enough to offset being outrebounded 2 to 1.

Who said we you UT was going to win the national championship? :wacko:

Looks like I missed some good stuff...

Elite Eight actually..:shades:

No one claimed we were about to win a NC.
Just knocking down your theory that a NC team can't rely on 1 great player too much.

No, the Big Eight was the conference Kansas was in during the '87-'88 season. The Elite Eight is the designation given to the regional finalists. The Jayhawk team wouldn't have seen the NCAA tournament without Manning.

I don't think it will be that bad of a ratio, also Chism took it to Horford to the tune of 19 points in Gainesville. Our big men usually play better at home as well.

My bad, I thought you meant how far they would have got in the tournament..

There's now a whole generation that can't remember a time when the Big 12 was the Big 8 and the Big 10 really had 10 teams. I'm old.

 

[tidwell]

I'd like to think the Vols have a good chance against Florida at home + Lofton, but like hat said, rebounding will more than likely kill the Vols. hey're routinely outrebounded, though... almost gotta hope the Gators have a bad game.

19 year olds like me, don't know some of that stuff.. I thought he was talking about the tournament.. Dang, I hate losing to hat on something like that.:angry:

Ask that generation about the Southwest Conference and see the blank stares you get.

Hell, you remember the Metro Conferencece?

I do just because I grew up a USC fan.

Don't feel bad. You'll get used to it after a while.

Yep. I remember when Cincinnati-Florida State was a conference game.

 

[StunnA N' Orange]

Age won it for you on that one, my youthful knowledge was exposed on that point.. I'll get you back..

 

[allvol123]

Yep. I remember when Cincinnati-Florida State was a conference game.

Who all was in there?

Depaul
Lousiville?
Virginia Tech

Are those all right?

Along with Louisville, Ga Tech and a host of others.
