Our defensive scheme against him worked by making him go left and frustrating him. Props to Pastner and all the guys for executing the game plan.

Did the same thing to Johnny O'B. These are big steps we took tonight. Good defensive adjustment from the 39-point debacle before, good offensive adjustment with insight from the LSU game to pound it in the paint, good job by the players of not going AAU when we went down by 10. Reminds me of the last line in Casa Blanca.This could be the beginning of something we haven't seen from these guys before tonight -- confidence AND being able to back it up.

Now perhaps the idiot who brought the sign about a top 25 win to Orlando can burn it. I thought that was extremely tacky.

They don't do that if teams have played once. It won't happen until the Elite 8; which would be fine.

We'll draw Kentucky.

When is the last time we had such a big win in the regular season?

2002?

The Tigers beat #5/#4 Georgetown 85-71 on Dec 22, 2007 in Memphis.

Sadly, the whiners will find something else for a while; the trainer, the womens coach, Bowen. Bet on it.

Hot Dog!

Thanks JMS. I was thinking the time we beat Illinois was the highest ranked team we beat since now, I had forgot about GTown.

Agree. Completely erases the other loss as just a fluke occurrence and re-legitimizes us again

I was there. A friend of mine thought that that was impossible. For weeks he said, "Is your team any good, really?"

People who don't like us will always find something to discredit us, I.e that. This was a neutral court and we can't win on the road. This was a great win by all involved. When I looked at the game again, I didn't think we played that bad,just ok state played super good. You knew they couldn't play that well again. Great win tho.

Great OP. Nice to see you back, JMS. I was considering posting a similar thread myself.

Congrats on the win guys!
