3/12/2007 4:58:09 PM

t minus 2 days, 22 hours, 40 minutes to tip off.

3/13/2007 3:06:52 PM

chism!?!??!?!!?

3/16/2007 1:52:07 PM

121 - 86

HAHAHAHAHA!!1

That team could guard their own shadows.

Virginia up next.

GO VOLS!!!





p.s. GO PACK!!!

3/16/2007 4:16:28 PM

pretty fucking impressive win (offense)

I think UVA's backcourt will beat them though

3/16/2007 4:18:45 PM

We shall see. Should be a very entertaining game.

3/16/2007 4:24:13 PM

yeah, that exceeded my expectations... just fucking did whatever they wanted on offense, and that was with slowing it down and playing conservative the last 10 minutes

""It really was (fun)," Lofton said. "We're used to playing like that. When a team plays (uptempo) like that, we get excited. It was just a fast-paced game. "We put the 'fast' back in 'fast break."' Catchy -- and accurate. The point total equaled the most in a first-round game, set by UNLV in 1977 against San Francisco. Both teams came in averaging 80 points -- putting them among the top 11 in the nation -- so it wasn't a shocker that baskets came in bunches. But the numbers were nonetheless staggering for old-timers who believe defense drives teams into the elite field. "I like an identity for a program. This is our identity," coach Bruce Pearl said. "We've never finished second in (any league in) scoring in 14 or 15 years I've been a head coach. We pride ourselves on, as Chris said, putting the fast back in fast break. We do. We want to be able to do that and win. I enjoy being uptempo and being aggressive in transition. We'll put four or five guys on the floor that can score, and they've got a lot of freedom." "

Tenn vs Carolina. Make it happen

3/17/2007 2:14:24 AM

hahahaha, they would beat our asses, but it would be fun to watch, would probably be 99-85 or something like that

3/17/2007 2:15:14 AM

fuck tennessee, go hoos

glad i saw this thread. Go CAVS!

3/17/2007 10:25:21 AM

word

3/17/2007 10:25:42 AM

gotta say when I saw that score my jaw dropped...pretty impressive is right. it must have been fun to watch two teams run back and forth with no defense for the whole time haha...

the sec is having a pretty strong showing so far through the first round.

3/17/2007 10:51:39 AM

Tennessee was shootings 3s in the last minute only 10 secs into the shot clock. I hope those were the scrubs doing that, at least.

3/17/2007 12:55:26 PM

^nope...

3/17/2007 5:10:42 PM

Not sure what to think about today... In a weird way I was more confident that they would beat VA before they blew out LB State, now it seems like they are due for the classic Tennessee Tournament "no-show".... hope I am wrong

3/18/2007 10:50:15 AM

The UVA front court cannot be stopped

3/18/2007 10:55:00 AM

I am not worried about that as much, UT can hang with any athletic, guard-based team in the country, its big men that fuck them... what I am worried about is just having an off day shooting.

3/18/2007 10:59:25 AM

hahaha, Lofton is just sick

3/18/2007 11:14:13 AM

and here comes the off day shooting

3/18/2007 11:42:47 AM

So is Bruce Pearl black or what?

3/18/2007 11:45:17 AM

?

3/18/2007 11:46:39 AM

3/18/2007 11:47:48 AM

hahaha, that is a random picture

3/18/2007 11:50:36 AM

How long after today do we get off before we see some shitty Tennessee football thread?

3/18/2007 11:53:28 AM

catch up fool, the 2007 Tennessee Football thread has been around for a while, recruiting season my man, cant take any time off in major college football these days

3/18/2007 11:57:07 AM

I should have known

3/18/2007 12:00:31 PM

haha, I think I gave it a few weeks after the bowl game, but not too long



if they can go into half time down by less than 10 as bad as they have been playing... I will be happy

Time for a rousing chorus of Rocky Top

Wish that I was on ole rocky top,
Down in the tennessee hills.
Ain't no smoggy smoke on rocky top,
Ain't no telephone bills.

Once there was a girl on rocky top,
Half bear the other half cat.
Wild as a mink, sweet as soda pop,
I still dream about that.

Rocky top, you'll always be
Home sweet home to me.
Good ole rocky top,
Rocky top tennessee, rocky top tennessee.

Once two strangers climbed on rocky top,
Lookin' for a moonshine still.
Strangers ain't come back from rocky top,
Guess they never will.

Corn won't grow at all on rocky top,
Dirt's too rocky by far.
That's why all the folks on rocky top
Get their corn from a jar.

Rocky top, you'll always be
Home sweet home to me.
Good ole rocky top,
Rocky top tennessee, rocky top tennessee.

Now I've had years of cramped up city life,
Trapped like a duck in a pen.
Now all I know is it's a pity life
Can't be simple again.

Rocky top, you'll always be
Home sweet home to me.
Good ole rocky top,
Rocky top tennessee, rocky top tennessee.

3/18/2007 12:05:00 PM

non-gimpy reynolds > lofton

3/18/2007 12:10:04 PM

yeah, I would agree with that... but Lofton as a junior > reynolds as a junior


Reynolds has really developed this year, his senior year, so we will see what Lofton does next year


actually, I dont know, Lofton's numbers are ahead of Reynolds in everything but assists...

holy christ this game has gotten ugly

3/18/2007 12:34:26 PM

plz to teach your team to shoot free throws

3/18/2007 12:35:21 PM

dont know what to think about the Ohio State game...I thought they were going to kick our ass during the season but Tennessee outplayed them and should have won the game but i just think we wont be able to stop Oden at all


Ohio State - 64
Tennessee - 54

3/18/2007 1:39:41 PM

Tenn didn't win. UVA pulled their classic choke.

3/18/2007 1:39:56 PM

hahha, shut the fuck up... if anything it shouldnt have been that close with Cain fucking monkeybars routine. Lofton won that shit by hitting all those cluth FTs at the end

3/18/2007 1:42:07 PM

Tennessee to the Sweet 16, YAY!!!

Goddammitt I hate Cain soooooo much!!!

3/18/2007 2:02:08 PM

cain is a dirty wigga

3/18/2007 10:16:59 PM

should have been a technical on cain

3/19/2007 12:33:20 AM

yup, but thankfully it didnt matter



Tennessee won the right to get their ass kicked by Ohio State regardless!

3/19/2007 12:49:04 AM

overrated state university, youre next

3/19/2007 11:24:42 AM

i have Tennessee beating OSU in all 8 of my brackets

i have them getting to the final four in one of them

3/19/2007 12:08:46 PM

thats a lot of faith...

3/19/2007 2:41:51 PM

i have tenn > osu in most of my brackets as well (notably in the only one that's for money).

it's not a confidence in tenn necessarily, but i think osu is just as overrated in basketball as they were in football, and the sec is actually good (also like football).

3/19/2007 2:45:02 PM

just got accepted to UT grad school. go vols

I just don't get how the officials don't see something this obvious. There are three of them out on the court. Surely one of them saw this shit.

3/19/2007 2:57:14 PM

yea it should have been a tech but tenn got away with tons of shit in their "run" to take a ten point lead. bottom line is uva just wasnt the same after JR tweaked his ankle and couldnt make the shots they needed. Tenn is lucky as hell that JR got injured or i say uva wins the game. but it was an entertaining game and congratulations go out to tenn because they hit the shots they needed to.

3/19/2007 4:19:19 PM

there was nothing close to what Cain did... as myself and a few people on here said during the game, it was called really tight on both teams
