We don't have to play them, and I can still enjoy it when they lose to almost anyone.
Second, aside from the opponent, we played a pretty complete game and showed progress and poise.
And they didn't score 40 points in 10 minutes. They scored 31 in 10 minutes, and of those 31, 10 were scored while Stokes was in the game and Shaq was sitting with 4 fouls.
9 of their points came while we were maintaining a 2-3 possession lead in the last 3 minutes where any smart coach wants to defend without fouling (make them work for a shot and don't let them have freebies with the clock stopped).
Then they threw up 5 more garbage points when the game was realistically over.
So that's 24 out of the 31 points in 10 minutes that have more to do with game situation than with our defense.
And we would have still kept a larger lead except for a blocked shot that should have been a foul and a couple of missed opportunities on 1 and 1s, and missed 4 shots during about a 2.5 minute stretch. That's 16.6% of our misses during 7.5% of the game. And still we made 6 of 8 free throws in the last minute to seal it.
While 40 points in 10 minutes is just flat wrong, whole story is that we played our best game of the season, weathered foul trouble and cold spells, and still stayed in control, on the road, against a team that was desperate to beat us.
UAB isn't all that, but we enjoyed the heck out of squeaking a win at their place in 08, when we should have been much better.
We actually did play well. Not perfect, but well. We have a ways to go, but signs of improvement are there, even in the adversity. Now anyone who thinks we are all of a sudden invincible is stupid. But we are progressing, and it's fun.
Still didn't play 40 minutes of solid basketball.

I don’t. “Proof” of reaching a new level and playing a game at a new level are not the same. Continuing to improve is the goal and we are.
Compared to the first few games this team is playing much better. Anyone forget the CBC game? I think what most posters were saying is we played WELL against an interstate rival, in their house, and in a game they desperately needed to win.
My observation is the Tigers played WELL. We also played team ball for almost the entire game and met every challenge UTK threw at us. I knew UTK would make a run and we could have easily rolled over, but we didn’t. Even the announcers commented several times that this wasn’t the same team from earlier.
IMO this is the best this team has played all season and a reason to at least know they can hang tough and play well. It’s early January and if we continue to make progress and stay healthy we could make some real noise come March.
In the end that’s all that counts.

Playing with poise/consistency as an underdog in a hostile environment and winning may not satisfy some but it shows a marked improvement and bodes well for the rest of the season and post-season.

Lol...that the guy from hustle and flow?

We have shown marked improvement since Atlantis and it was a huge win given our rpi and cusa slate.

RE: It's just Tennessee...
OP...horrible thread. Nobody said we are world beaters because we beat UT. However, the win moves us way up in RPI rankings.
That being said, we beat our hated in-state rivals........enjoy!!!

Not really sure what post you are referring too.
I didn't see any of them. A few people may have made a few posts "in gist" as a joke but that's about it.
They were not in gist.
That does not mean what you two obviously think it does.
Sorry, can't help it.
LOL, was on my phone and thought I saw jest. Mayne I need glasses.

UT doesn't have ANY bad losses...
Their worst loss is to us and that is because it was at home...
OKState is a good team...GTown is a good team...UVA appears to be a good team(Just beat UNC by 9)
They may actually be a better team than people are giving them credit for and that definitely favors us.

They have a great defensive team and we worked them a good portion of the game. People are taking that for granted. I hear Joe had a bad turnover getting blocked going to the hole.

Agreed
We don't have any bad losses either.
But that never gets mentioned. I suspect we will have 1 "bad" loss all year at worst.
Good chance of ending up with zero.
