Tennessee season

It's always good to beat Alabama in any sport.

I agree and congrats

Highest combined score in the SEC this season? Florida has a good offense but their defense is at the bottom of the SEC. Both teams like to play fast. I wouldn't be surprised if Tennessee wins with a NBA score like 110-95.

UConn's loss to them now looks worse in retrospect. Yuck.

UConn's loss to them now looks worse in retrospect. Yuck.

The TN team that played UConn and the TN team that have showed up lately look completely different. They were locked in on a mission to beat UConn, but these past few games they’ve just looked like they’re ready to get the season over with. Beating UConn was big for them; I think it’s gone to their heads a bit.

All due respect here @stwainfan you can't just run and hide when things take a turn for the worst given all the excessive hype you publish when the team has a modicum of success.

So, what is the current issue with this team and can they sort it out to get going for the SECT and the big dance?

Pretty much. The griping about the foul disparity is humorous. But Tennessee plays an in your face full court press, Vandy does not. (on edit - Tennessee also jacked up 29 3-pointers while Vandy drove to the basket a lot or dumped the ball into the post)...Great win for Vandy and Shea. First time Vandy has beaten Tennessee twice in the same season. Vandy sure is on the rise! There is also talk on their board about chemistry issues. No one seems to have anything concrete, but lots of chatter and speculation.

I think Tennessee ends up a 5 seed and doesn't host the first weekend. The 5-12 game is tricky as they will likely get a good mid-major but we will see what happens.

The foul complaints are kind of crazy from TENN people when you look at how they play. Lots of player changes for high energy defense is going to result in lots of fouls. If you look at their box scores throughout the season they frequently have more fouls called even in their victories.

Refs just want some breathers. Call a foul on the team that’s making you run
