Tenn at Ky

[wire chief]

at 7 tonight on FSN

 

[Coler]

Should be a good one.

 

[Vowelguy]

Also ESPN3.

 

[Vowelguy]

Should be a good one.

I dunno, I saw a headline with something like "KY says it finally has even talent with TN". That's usually bulletin board material that leads to a butt whipping.

 

[triaddukefan]

A huge one in the ACC as well. Maryland at Miami. 7pm.

I think TN has more talent, but they have to get it together if they are to be a presence.

This is a big game for Tenn for NCAA seedings. IMHO lose this game and they don't have a shot at a #1 seed. I'm of the opinion they're still in the running for a #1 seed if they go undefeated for the rest of the year. Tenn at ND is another critical game for Tenn. KY and ND are the only teams remaining on their schedule that have a shot of beating them.

 

[sarals24]

No way does Tennessee get a #1. They got killed by Stanford and lost to an unranked UVA. Stanford isn't going to lose again, ND might lose to Uconn or vice versa, and I don't see Baylor losing.

 

[tnvolfan65]

If Tenn beats ND and ND beats Uconn again, Uconn falls to a two and Tenn gets the last one seed.

What if UCONN wins a 3rd matchup between the two.... and you are presuming TN will have to run the table the rest of the way?

I still say... dont count out Maryland... lets see how they do on the road tonight.

 

[tnvolfan65]

Yeah I was just trying to edit and say we had to win out as well. And not sure under that scenario. Just saying that Tenn isn't out of the discussion for a one seed yet.

There are currently 6 schools competing for the 4 top seeds. Dont see any other school that will get consideration. Even if Duke runs the table in the ACC...... our losses to ND and KY will haunt us. Our only hope is to run the table in the ACC and win on Jan 30.

 

[Vowelguy]

KY and TN have missed their last 85 combined shots. Approximately.
20-18 Vols

 

[Vowelguy]

It has been 20-18 for FIVE minutes. And, no, it's not because of great defense.

 

[Vowelguy]

KY hits 1-2 foul shots, and it's now 20-19.

 

[speedoo]

Sounds like I am lucky not to be able to watch this ugly basketball.

 

[triaddukefan]

Miami was up 21-10.... now they are down 25-23.

 

[Vowelguy]

In this span, TN has 12 misses, 4 TOs, and KY has 9 misses, 3 TOs.

 

[Vowelguy]

KY just misses 2 free throws. Still 20-19.

At 2:38, WE HAVE A BASKET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Technically, Tennessee should blow Kentucky out the door. Ky beat Arkansas just last week by 12, the same team Tennessee blew out by 30+. Tennessee beat MTSU, who recently beat Kentucky. frankly i'd be shocked if Kentucky keeps the loss to within 15. anything in single digits is a huge moral victory for them.

still, KY is a Jeckyll and Hyde type of team to me. they play ND to a loss of about 10 or so, but "struggled" against ARkansas and lost to MTSU. go figure.

 

[Vowelguy]

KY went 8:10 without a basket, and just 1 pt.
TN at nearly 9 minutes without a basket, and counting.

And holy cow, KY just made 2 free throws!
23-20 Cats

Why does everyone dismiss KY?
For the 10000th time,
- They BEAT Duke.
- They played @ND very tough.

 

[Vowelguy]

OMG, another KY basket, my heart can't take this potent offense.

25-21 KY.

Glory out with 2 fouls, btw.

 

[Vowelguy]

KY's pace is causing TN to play a lot of players - they've -gasp- had Bass in for several minutes.

they lost to MTSU and beat Arkansas by 12. that's why. i did not dismiss them, per se. i said they are a jekyll and hyde team. i said if you look at recent results, Kentucky should lose by a lot based on who both teams just played. but it seems so far KY has brought their A game...
