If Chalmers goes pro (which I think he will), UT should win easily, even in Allen Field House (especially if Tyler stays).
However, if Chalmers stays, then you are looking at a great December matchup.
Either way, I will be there!
Rock Chalk, guys. Today was not as good as Monday, but hearing Self is staying and UT will be in Lawrence in December is not a bad day!
Welcome to Allen Field House! Seriously, if you can make it to the game, do. AFH is one of the classic "old school" places to see a game. If you love college basketball, you shouldn't miss it! :crazy:
And speaking of matchups...we're definitely losing Jackson, Kaun, Robinson, almost 100% Rush, and maybe Chalmers. The only reason Chalmers might come back is that his dad is coaching there and it could be a great opportunity to show how he can score when he's not playing on a team with 6 other options and increase his draft status. Collins and Aldrich should be returning with experience.
The guys we have coming in should be good. The two Junior College guys are (or were) 1 and 3 ranked from JC, and the other players are all pretty good. The biggest question is whether the team will jell in just a few months. My guess is, they'll still be pretty raw.
Wow, I'm already counting the days 'til Late Night in The Phog!
:rock: Rock Chalk and Go Vols!
