Our team would have been really good 5-7 years ago. But our youngest player has old man shoulders, and the rest are pushing mid-30's. Hopefully Lofton and JaJuan are draining 3's, because we don't have anybody over 6'9 to match the multiple 7'0+ trees Purdue will throw at us.I know I’m biased, but I find it hard to believe we’re the 9th best roster in this tournament. Tough first game against Purdue but I don’t think there are 8 better teams.
TBT roster lists him at 6'9. Looks like he's had a pretty successful int'l career compared to what he did at UT. He's a big dude, no doubt, so maybe his girth alone will give Haas and Hammons some trouble. And Chism is one of my favorite all-time Vols, so don't think I'm knocking him. I'm excited to see these guys play since I haven't really seen any of them play in over a decade.John Fields

A big advantage we have is our team is actually comprised of all UT players. We should have more chemistry than most of the teams. Youth would be more relevant if this was a full on season.Love this team but I think if you take off your big orange blinders you see a lot to be desired. The best players are likely on the tail end of their overseas careers. Turner if healthy is a good guard and Bowden is solid but the best teams in this tourney are younger and deeper then the Bawls.
I think this team could do some damage. Shame we couldn't get some of them.
I hope your right but it has been 12 or 13 years since Lofton played with Chism and the others. He never played with Turner or Bowden. Not sure just because they all wore orange that there will be any more chemistry then any other team put together around the same time.A big advantage we have is our team is actually comprised of all UT players.

Stings that McRae is playing with the Georgia Kingz instead of playing with us…ouch…
