TSUN +1.5 vs Tenn (ov/un 127.5) Fri 12:40 ET, TruTV

[buckeyesin07]

Vols went 4-8 after Cousin Brucie returned from his suspension...they were 5-3 without him.

. Looks like the lack of a vote of confidence from the UT AD on the eve of the tournament didn't exactly have a motivating effect.

Watch out Pearl -here comes the Summit

I was driving home from the airport listening to UT announcers talk about this game. They were saying even though they were down 4, UT was obviously a better team than tsun (they called them something else, but I try not to use language that foul). Wonder if they still think that? :) I can't root for tsun, but living here in TN watching UT implode is a great thing.

Tennessee is better than...

Yeah, I said it. Tennessee is better. It was obvious at the outset that Michigan could not guard Tennessee. They were too slow. They were guarding with their hands and fouling. We were getting past their defenders at will.

Then, about 10 minutes in, we were only up about 5 and we had completely outplayed them. I began to think we may have problems.

Then the refs took over....

.../cont/...

 

[Bucklion]

If claiming you're better and blaming the refs, the fans, the rules, and tow truck guy after getting beat by 30 is wrong...

Tennessee is better than...

There is no fanbase more deserving of the misery ahead than those orange creamsicle fucks. There was actually a post on the board saying Pearl's accomplished more than JT in comparing the situations. Seriously.

 

[germ]

With about ten mins left MI went to a zone and said beat us from the outside. Tenn did not make diddle and we shot crazy % in the second half.

This was a good win for us.

That is unfair. I can name any number of reasons why that is just not a true statement....for example....ah.............................................................................................................................................................................................................

Thank you, tip your waiter, try the veal.

RE: Tennessee Michigan Game Thread

Good, we replace the guy that got back-doored with the guy the got back-doored the first time.

hey look - scUM was back-dooring people!!!

The best teams UM has beaten all year are those like UT, who are limping along with a record not too far above .500. If you think UM stands a chance at knocking off Duke, you haven't been paying attention.

Sheeesh! You dookie-lovers are sooooooooo touchy.

Its "March Madness, Baby!" I think scum has a slightly better chance to beat the Azure Satans than they do to beat the Buckeyes in BB or FB. And that's enough to speculate that an 8 might beat a 1 this year. Hmmmmm, what was the line on the Kansas second round game last year?

 

[Mike80]

Don't lose sight of the fact that Michigan's a really good team from a tough conference.

 

[jwinslow]

I am not sure what is more embarrassing, losing that badly or getting dunked on by stu douglass.

I had to rewind my Tivo to see who dunked it, I was stunned.

This is one of the most pathetic performances I've ever seen from a major program in a postseason contest...ever. 16 second half points? Against m*ch*g*n? How is that even possible???

The most damning - the fact that scUM didn't even make a FT in the game, and only attempted one.

That Tennessee team simply quit. It takes great effort and execution to play good defense and limit your own fouls. Decrease the effort a little and you get lazy defense and pick up fouls as a result. Decrease the effort even more and you get the turd the Tennessee pinched off, where they don't care to even get close enough to foul.

I love seeing EweTee embarrass themselves like that, but part of me is upset that a team like that took a spot away from a team that played their hearts out throughout the season and couldn't make it into the field.

. You have no idea how ridiculous that statement is. I couldn't be less of a Duke fan. I am a realist, however.

What does that have to do with this game? #15 seeds have beaten #2 seeds before, but taht doesn't mean that every time a #2 plays a #15 you should say that the #15 has a chance just because it's happened before. That's ridiculous. Look at the teams in question -- this scUM team hasn't beaten a top team all year. And it won't happen today either.
