THUG PLAY = FOUL PLAY

It finally caught up to Auburn. — With EVEN officials! (so/so? Except at the end of the game) — You reap what you sow…. And the THUGS finally got THUMPED!

TENNESSEE on to the SEC Final!

But, (whatever happens) they won’t EVER rank Tennessee as a One seed!!!!!

Agreed about the play style... disagree about us DESERVING a 1 seed.
IMO, #1 Seeds don't get embarrassed on the court at the start of league play,, MAYBE in early NOV., not in January.

Broome is getting the NBA star treatment. Breathe on him and it’s a foul. But it’s OK for him to deliver a deliberate stiff arm and hand to Gainey’s face. That was not “incidental contact”. Great college player but he is now getting what we should forevermore call The Edey Effect.

The college game is unfortunately following in the steps of the NBA and is low key trying to create stars who are untouchable - it's happening more and more frequently.

Just about everything about your post confuses me. If we win tomorrow, granted a big if, but we would absolutely deserve a 1 Seed. The consensus across basketball world is that the SEC Final Four is better and comprised of better overall talent than we'll likely see in San Antonio. The win would give us 11 Quad 1 wins and a championship of the best conference top to bottom in the history of college basketball. I think you're putting way too much emphasis on that FL road loss. For one thing, we returned the favor in the rematch, and while it was Jan as opposed to Nov, it was also one of our first conference games. All considered it seems you're working pretty hard to play devil's advocate when there are plenty of reasons to argue in favor of the Vols.

The other one I have an issue with is the “Eurostep”. Nobody can convince me that’s not walking based on the original rules of basketball.

Unless we’re arguing about the gather step and that’s a whole rabbit hole to go down where no one wins and everyone loses

Also, like, an actual euro step is two steps. It’s one. Two. Shot. A 3 step euro step should always be called traveling (even though I know it’s not). All I’m saying is the euro step is legal by the rules. How people use it or execute it isn’t always legal

I thought the original rule was that you get 1 and a half steps. When you picked up the dribble, you got one step and up. Any more than than that was walking. At least it was back in the Dark Ages when I played. I know things are a lot more liberal in the rules these days. They don’t call 3 seconds, charging or over the back either.

I like the one where they are dribbling, catch the ball against their thigh, go under with the palm, turn it over and continue dribbling. I saw Mashack do this several times post-mid-court.

I thought Auburn’s players actually showed a little class when they fouled then tried to help our guys up. The refs were doing everything in their power to give it to them at the end tho. Without replay they likely would have succeeded.

Cardwell at least did. That guy appears to have some class. Unlike a bunch of others on that team.

Cardwell would have benefited from great coaching under Barnes.

Shame he ended up playing for a sleaze bag like Pearl.

The problem with the new interpretation is that giving the offensive player two pivot feet negates good defensive positioning. I've seen it dozens of times, and it's especially irksome when the color announcer (who usually played the game) goes off on what a killer offensive move was made.
