February 14, 200719 yr Some oddities from the stats: UK outshoots UT 56% to 49%, 3pt% was 42% to 38%, FT% was 79% to 64% and rebounds were 37 to 25. Turnovers UK 19, UT 8. Take care of the ball and this is a win. I guess this just proves that old sports axiom is true.... Stats are for losers.:lol:
February 14, 200719 yr Tennessee shot the ball very well. Great effort by the 'Cats in the second half to comeback. We know, we know... Tubby can't coach. I hope some of you will jump ship for good after this one. UT is a very tough team at home and could be dangerous come March. Bradley's 4th foul was a joke and a semi-turning point in the second half. Hats off to the Vols though, they played very well and we simply couldn't stop them. :thumb: Our "D" on the perimiter and falling asleep at times on the interior let us down for imo the first time this season. Vols have always been tough in Knoxville. U.K.'s shooting was again horrible in the first half, nice comeback and that showed a lot of pride. Yes I am ticked off! I hate losing. U.T. was ready for this one and Lofton again played a key role for the Vols. Tubby bashers will enjoy this one for sure. I'll be supporting the Cats and Tubby on Saturday at Bama and beyond. That imo is what a "real" U.K. fan does and not just wait for and imo at times seemingly hoping for a loss to "Tubby bash". So have at it guys/bashers, fire up the "fire Tubby" chants once more, you are in your element.:irked:
February 14, 200719 yr With the remaing games at Bama, LSwho at home, at Vandy, Ga. at home and at Fla. the remaing stretch will be tough. Hopefully the Cats can get refocused and finish the SEC strong. GO BIG BLUE!!!!:ylsuper:
February 14, 200719 yr Good morning, I hope everyone has calm down now since last night, I have. We just need to remember that it's just a game. Everything will work out in the wash.Now it's on to Bama.
February 14, 200719 yr Sad to see the Cats go down again but,it was great to see C.L. do as well as he did.
February 14, 200719 yr Within one possesion on the road in the SEC in the final 2 minutes nothing to be ashamed of if you ask me. Now how important is that D Swhs??????Look at how low your expectations have gotten...
February 14, 200719 yr Look at how low your expectations have gotten... This has been my point for years. I never thought I'd hear UK basketball fans talking up stats and writing losses off to parity.
February 14, 200719 yr With the remaing games at Bama, LSwho at home, at Vandy, Ga. at home and at Fla. the remaing stretch will be tough. Hopefully the Cats can get refocused and finish the SEC strong. GO BIG BLUE!!!!:ylsuper: Cats will lose at Bama, Vandy and Florida bringing their regular season loss total to 10, they'll lose in the SEC Tournament making it 11 and their 1st or 2nd round loss in the NCAA will bring the magic loss number 12. They will win at home vs. LSU and Georgia, bringing Tub to the coveted 20 wins. They might win a SEC tournament game and possibly one NCAA game - it's a stretch, but I say they end up 22-12. Very ordinary, but becoming very routine for a Tub-led team.
February 14, 200719 yr This has been my point for years. I never thought I'd hear UK basketball fans talking up stats and writing losses off to parity. 18%
February 14, 200719 yr 18% This response has lost a little of its impact, what with all the bickering as to its origin and meaning. That said, I really don't know what it means.:confused:
February 14, 200719 yr I guess this just proves that old sports axiom is true.... Stats are for losers.:lol: Nice post. :thumb: Some people call it analysis.
February 14, 200719 yr Maybe Jim Larranaga would be interested? He made the Final Four, and he passed on Lofton. :laugh:
February 14, 200719 yr This response has lost a little of its impact, what with all the bickering as to its origin and meaning. That said, I really don't know what it means.:confused: It means I agreed with your post. If you complain you get the ol' 18% reference, which was never accurate or valid...
February 14, 200719 yr Nice post. :thumb: Some people call it analysis. The funny thing is that post-game, winning fans compliment their coach and their players. Losing fans review the stats. Tell me I'm wrong. FYI, there is a lot of this behavior over at a certain high school we all know.:sssh:
