The Smokey grays in basketball looked hideous

They could use a redesign.

They've lost some of the appeal to me when they're worn every game, imo. I wish we'd bring back the original Stokely court design every once in a while.

If whoever made our throwbacks was in charge of it I’d be down. Just not like these at all

 

[Lefteye]

Probably more so than those falling asleep in their chairs and complaining about how loud the music is

My dude!!

I love to see some retro looks as long as it's kept stylish and fresh.

Do basketball posts still show up in the ‘what’s new’ list. I feel like I have to come to this forum to see new posts

Probably need to wait until football season is over

Hey, I started a NBA fantasy league at Yahoo, it anybody wants in. Recognize PG13, #145549, is the private league number, draft in 2 weeks, Friday night 11 eastern

Only a 6'7 wingspan and 24.5 inch vert. Kid's going to get exposed.

Yikes. That’s bizarrely poor

I had heard Penny got Emoni to commit by promising him the PG spot. I can't wait to see him try and bring the ball up with Josiah and KC picking him up full court.

Got them baby hands. Bates be like:

He might’ve promised that but I don’t see that lasting. I think when the going gets rough you’ll see Alex Lomax as the primary point

I can 100% see Emoni leaving Memphis to prepare for the draft before conference play even begins.

Tiny hands, too. I have bigger hands than that.

That’s hard to believe. Especially the vertical. I imagine the average vertical for the Powell High School varsity squad is as good or better than that.

Grant Williams had a 26 inch standing vertical at the NBA combine and he likely weighed 50 more lbs and is far from a beacon of athleticism.

These numbers are shocking

Wouldn’t be surprised if Grant’s vert was higher as a freshman than it is now. He used to bang on dudes.

SEC Men's Basketball Preview 2021-22

With all this talk about alternate football uni's.. can we please bring back the smokey grey's for hoops? Don't understand why those went away. There seems to be more room for unique alternates in hoops. Bring on some all blacks, some mid 2000's retros with black lining, maybe a combo with a hint of baby blue like we rocked in the 70's. I do love the throwbacks we've seemingly adopted as our full time uni's, but i've grown a bit tired of them. Wouldn't mind a new modern uni set.

Do what? We literally just got the orange versions last season. I think the uniforms are almost perfect. Definitely the best I've ever seen.

Does anyone know if we will have the Rocky Top Tip-Off event that we have had in the past this year? I feel like they would have already announced it if we did. @bleedingTNorange @cncchris33

I would love to see this team scrimmage each other like they have done in the past at this event.

Haven't heard of anything.

I think that with restrictions still in place at UT it would be unlikely this year, sadly.
