Give me Gonzaga, Auburn, Kansas and I guess Duke if we have to have that trash there in the top 4 teams

Arizona?

The 3 guard lineup is absolutely something we need and quite honestly HAVE TO go to moving forward. The 3 position is such a wasted position on this team and is by far our biggest weakness. We also cannot keep getting annihilated on the boards. That is honestly been the most troubling thing I have seen the past 2 games.

I agree.  I would try JW at the 3 as well. He is playing well enough to get more PT. That might help on the boards. The one thing I have noticed is he is getting into foul trouble. Calm that down and hope to see him on the floor more.

SEX Champions!

That's what my wife says.  

Wilson balls baby! That is all.

Sounds Iike a home game to me! Let's go Auburn!! Let's go Auburn!!

I just knew Bruce would call a TO when Green brought it across half court. We have messed this up 3 or 4 times now. Call a TO and get a play together. 

Why can't we rebound? I'm blown away by this 

I'm right behind the basket on the front row. Let's Goooo!!!! I'm so pumped for this one!

Not looking forward to playing UT on road if they play this hard

Certainly UT is a good team. But they are playing above their average tonight. UK is also playing poorly. 

I'll be at the Tennessee game. My wife's side are all UT fans. I can't complain since they got me the tickets. 

I'm hopeful. Tennessee up and it's getting late

Thanks @cole256  My struggle has been a shoe that has a lot of padding/comfort has had a big and bulky feel. My cuts are not a quick. I may not be making sense but the non bulky feel is really important to me.

For the guys that play ball still I suggest trying out melo balls new shoes. Puma mb 01. They seriously may be the most comfortable pair of basketball shoes I've ever played in. 

Really try them out, check reviews on YouTube as well, I read about them and had high expectations but I was still blown away. I wasn't expecting them to be that comfortable.

  Are they lightweight and do they have support? I may give these a shot.

It was awful watching this game.  For a ranked team, St Mary's team played very sloppy.  The coach planned to slow down the game but seem to make no adjustments that would try to make up for them falling behind on the scoreboard.  

Now I can easily see why UA beat Gonzaga.  

My thoughts exactly.  In no way do I want to discount the Zags. They are a legit team. They just do not see much competition.  St Mary's did not look like a top 25 team. 

I was hoping for St. Mary's to upset the Zags but after watching the first half there is no chance. 

We crushed them and it still felt like we played bad. Defense looked great but goodness it felt like an offensive grind. We missed 3's and turned the ball over a lot. 

I suppose that goes to show how good this team is. We still won in a blowout.

Flanigans minutes need to be reduced by a bunch. I’m sorry, but he’s more of a liability out there. He is NOT a potential first or second round draft pick, but HE thinks he is. A turnover machine

I have been concerned about Flan. He has not come around like I hoped. However, I don't think he is arrogant. Honestly,  his game looks like it lacks confidence. He has ability. It just has not translated since coming back from injury. He needs a 20+ pt game to get confidence. Imo

I hate losing but that place was on fire. Insanely loud. Got to give them credit. We played pretty bad. No shame in the outcome of this one. Put it behind us and let's get ready for the next one.

Not sure how it looks on TV but from my seat these refs are blowing the whistle for everything.

That one and A&M are prob the toughest ones to me at this moment. Florida looks awful these days but the swamp…

 I'll be at Arkansas and Tennessee.  Those 2 road games worry me, Especially Arkansas. 

Really good to get a W after the #1 ranking. I think between that and being on the road there was a lot of pressing. Hopefully we loosen up now. 

This thread only goes one way and it's all based on things none of us know. The presumption is that all that has been going on it bad. It could be, it might not be. The facts are unlikely to be known around the departure of DM. I can say that if he did not want to be here for whatever reason, it is good that he resigned. I personally liked him and would liked for him to have stayed. But he did not and that's that. 

It's a team game. If one of our guards gets hurt this game ends all the same. It's called depth and we have it.= we're the better team.

As for the refs, I thought they missed some big fouls KY made in the first half and I think they made up for it in the 2nd half. Ended up being equal to me.

I live in Memphis, & I can assure y'all that this statement is true. Also, when he was at UT, Memphis fans hated him. But when a rumor started that he was being pursued by Memphis after Calipari left, Memphis fans got seriously excited & would have loved to have him. Aside from the NCAA issues, Bruce also seems to have 1 of those personalities that no one is ever neutral about. You love him or hate him depending on the colors you & he are wearing.

I too live in TN and I have not come across a single Vol fan that is not jealous that we have BP. They love him right now! I am so thankful we have Bruce. To the haters I always say, Everyone hates a winner.
