It was mentioned that we could beat anyone but Tennessee in the SEC Tourney. They just don’t have the talent to beat Tennessee. As mentioned on another board here is an interesting tidbit. Tennessee has 1 that’s right 1 4star on their team. The rest 3 stars.

Their steroid program is very good.

That HAD to have been an exceptional game for TN. I know they have a good team but if they played like that consistently then I don't understand how they could have lost to AL by 20+ points or some of their other losses or very close wins within conference.

I heard that statement as well and completly disagree with it. We are more talented than Tennessee, we just played like we hadn't been there before.

Tennessee is a matchup nightmare for us. We can't play with their bigs. They overpowered us.

The star rating system in basketball is all over the place.. other than the high 5 star players, there's so much variation in the rest of the rankings. They throw around 4 star ratings to so many players and many times there's not a lot of difference in them and the 3 star players. All I know is that their big guys were built like LBs and we got Debo'd, as Fishback said.

When a team is allowed to mug you all night and avoid fouls while you, in turn, are whistled for standing too close it's pretty much impossible to "out physical" your opponent. The make up calls came in the second half but by that time we were beat up and mentally dominated. It is what it is. Not saying we would have won but Adu got the **** knocked out of him numerous times to no calls while they called EVERYTHING on the other end in the first half. That is very difficult to overcome. Several times throughout the game I saw the refs hanging out with Tennessee coaching staff and players laughing it up. Hell, at one point on the older ref was literally massaging one of the TN assistant coaches shoulder... this was on tv. I'm not a conspiracy theorist but that **** was very unprofessional.

In a fairly called game we might still lose but it would be a hell of a lot closer.
