What really concerns me is that it seems as if we can't stop 1 guy with our defense. McRae tonight, the kid from Mizzou last week. Everyone in the building knows they're getting the ball and we can't stop them?

Why wasn't Prather on McRae tonight? Is Yeguette our lock down defender?

Tennessee- 2 pts, 3 rebs, 1 ast, 2 TOs, 1-7 from 3

Glad our senior steps up in big games.

No arguments, Kenny has been, at best, inconsistent

**JimBobTheClown** · 02-26-2013, 11:31 PM

I think Kenny needs to stop taking threes and give it to someone else. He isn't even streaky lately

Well we can make excuses until we are blue in the face, but it doesn't change the fact that we have now lost 3 straight road games against borderline NCAA/NIT teams on the road. And because of that, we are now in danger of not even winning the weakest SEC in decades.

Mizzou loss pissed me off bad. This is a different story. Save the blood pressure rise for a good pizza.

I almost wanted Boynton to just pass the ball on that wide-open 3 that he bricked horribly.

Boynton is now a 33% 3 pt shooter. Why does he continue to chuck em' up? It's simple. He hasn't developed any mid-range game in 4 years and he lacks explosion going to the basket. So unless he's freed up by a screen, his shot is often blocked or altered. His effectiveness last year was due to his shooting 40% from the arc. Without his shot, he is a very limited offensive player.

Agreed, I don't think anyone can match our defensive intensity with our full 8 guys

Well, let's see.... How many of those loses were due to our depth? All of the recent ones I say. I think we win ark, Missouri, tonight if we're at full strength. But yes it is a concern. If we have everyone back and lose at corRupt arena, I'd be very concerned. But we have gone deep (sry pessimists but elite eight is deep) with weaker teams. Also, it's different playing in the tourney. I like this team and this season. Still putting my money on the gators. Boyton is the anomaly that bothers me however. He's not right but it won't matter if we have eight that can o.

The fact is we need KB to play well if we are going to make a run.

CAGator93 · 02-27-2013, 01:22 AM

With tonight's win - the Tennessee athletic department announced that they just lost an additional $400K

DuPontGator · 02-27-2013, 05:29 AM

This team gets bounced in the first rd.

If everyone's healthy no, at least another elite 8 appearance. This team from last night though would make it past the 2nd round.

But if they play their regular game and we play with poise - for 40 minutes and not 36 - then I see a good win.

But as I said, it is up to the Vols to determine whether they are in it or not.

Well I guess I got it right.

I know I've probably posted this before, but I hate UT. Lol

Thanks for your contributions to our threads with your fabulous pics. As an aside, I see your pictures elsewhere. Are you a free lancer who has press credentials? And if someone gets to use your pics (I presume they bought them) then do they get exclusive use of those? Don't get me wrong, I love that we get "A" material for free.

That is another thing that makes the Gator Nation so outstanding.
