Turner needs to shoot the rock better. After getting pressed these last two games so intensely, if UT tries to do the same I think Evan will be more than ready for it.

I think Turner will also need to handle the rock a little bit better. Just imagine if we had a true pg and ET could roam.

Williams has played pretty well since coming back from his little run in with the law. He could present a tough match up as well. 6-11, 275....not quite as marshmallowish as he once was. Tennessee is long and athletic, which the good guys must overcome also. Turner needs to shoot the rock better. After getting pressed these last two games so intensely, if UT tries to do the same I think Evan will be more than ready for it.

Yeah Williams could be tough. He rebounds well and seems to have better footwork now. Tatum has also been catching fire. Just hoping Hopson has one of those games like he did all throughout the SEC tourny.

Chism could be a tough matchup for Lauderdale but if you can get Chism in foul trouble early....they have to rely a lot on their streaky shooters like Hopson. UT plays up or down to the level of the team they are playing so expect them to play tough. I expect them to try to press some and frustrate Turner like GT did. They are super athletic....makes me very nervous.....I think the winner of this game will be in the final four.

I think UT is basically a better coached version of the team we played yesterday. I'd look for Lighty to guard Chism if he and Williams are on the floor at the same time. Lighty can guard damn near anyone you throw at him. Everybody likes to hate on Madsen because he doesn't get many of the pretty stats(blocks, points) for a big man. He does do a lot of the little things right though.

The Yamaka (ञमक; Pali for "pairs") is part of the Pali Canon, the scriptures of Theravada Buddhism. It is included in the Abhidhamm Pitaka, which according to the scriptures themselves was taught by the Buddha himself. Scholars do not take this literally, though some have suggested that some central ideas of the Abhidhamma may go back to him.

Well, then I certainly hope ET doesn't adjust Chism's "yamaka" :sick1:

The issue with Tennessee is that you don't know what you get. The Tennessee team that beat Kansas and Kentucky (at home, I know) played very different to the Tennessee team that got blown out by much less imposing Vandy and Florida teams.

If they are on, then Ohio State will have its hands full. If they aren't, then this could be much easier than it looks.

I don't think we're going to see any easy W for us against Tenn...if Tenn doesn't keep it close, I think we will. I just don't see us running away from them.

This is probably the first game I have been nervous about since the Big 10 Tourny. Tenn beat UK so thats pretty scary, then again they were also beat by 30 the second time around haha. Just hope ET shows up and that Dieb is lights out with threes.

First off ACC> SEC...I haven't been hearing all those SEC chants because they have stunk this tournament up. GT was on a hot streak and played in a much better conference.

We haven't played so great...19 TO's and I don't even want to talk about the UCSB game...If Turner plays a good game we put a 30+ spot on them guys.

I feel sorry for the team that plays us when everyone is playing good. I have a feeling the best Basketball has yet to be played.
