That's all I need to know enough by inference about Lipscomb's bigs. Lipscomb even led Tennessee by double digits in the first half. Grant William's 30 points was a miracle. He won't repeat at ETSU.

I know all that (although I've also seen him listed at 6'6"). And I know it won't be repeated against us. But just the fact his confidence must be soaring changes what he thinks he can do, and what he'll try to do.
The Gonzaga game will show what he can *really* do against a quality team. Wasn't trying to be an alarmist; but it's just one more weapon they'll have (to apparently go along with losing a weapon). Hard to say how all the algebra will work out on that.

As to is Fulkerson gone for the year, I personally don't know. Was going on what BucFan1244 wrote at first. All descriptions of the injury sound dire, but last night I saw nothing official, either. But when one sees the word "gruesome" from multiple observers......well, it just didn't sound pretty. One doesn't encounter complete elbow socket displacements often, which is what it seemed to be as of last night.

I do acknowledge the risk, but I think the Bucs will take care of business tomorrow and our bigs--especially HMP--will be fired up on the 22nd. The point is, don't write Tennessee off for any reason. God forbid they drive the bus off a cliff, still practice and show up at 7pm expecting a battle. Tennessee does NOT want to lose to ETSU. I am sure Barnes will be reminding them of this. Orange fans will see red if blue and gold prevails. I might make that my mantra!

ORANGE FANS WILL SEE RED IF BLUE AND GOLD PREVAILS

Best I can tell is that Fulkerson is under evaluation. I would be surprised if he plays tomorrow, but who knows.

Dayton, after being down 40-17(!!) at halftime, came roaring back, outscoring Northwestern (in Chi-town) 47-27 in the second stanza to lose 67-64. Crazy.

The Citadel led VT at half then was outscored 73-27 in the 2nd half to lose LOL

Oh good gracious! I saw the final but had no idea! Incredible.
