There’s no way to predict this team.

We can win tomorrow. I wouldn’t be surprised if we win.

We can get our asses kicked too.

I wouldn’t be surprised if that happens either.

And maybe we win one half and lose the other?

We just have to win the one we win by more.

With Pope you don’t even know if we will show up. Much less what team shows up.

Not sure why some people think Tennessee is such a scare. They’re solid, but they are 5-5 in their last 10. Even we are 6-4. They rebound well but this is where we can win the game. We have the depth with size to win that battle.
They are turnover prone and they struggle at the FT line. Use depth and foul the …. out of them. I like our size out front too. Gillespie is a pretty good player but the ball tends to die in his possession, sound familiar?? If Aberdeen brings his pass first mentality, we get out and run, don’t miss all our 3s, battle on the boards, we win!!!

Hard to see us putting together the two halves of high performance needed to win this one. Based on the tendencies of this team, I think it’s more likely that this happens:

- We start the game very close and give the impression it will be a dogfight, something like 9-8 early.

- Tennessee capitalizes on poor shot selection or turnovers to begin building a lead.

- We begin panicking with dice roll lineup combinations and get down massively by halftime, something like 46-31 Tennessee.

- We fight back heroically at a point in the second half to cut it within ten 64-57.

- Tennessee goes on a counter-run and wins the game going away.

Tennessee 81, Kentucky 66. Prove me wrong, Cats.

Jelavic matches up well with Ament, and so does Garrison. Just got to keep Garrison from trying to make that bounce pass.
yeah i think we can handle Ament. Gillespie i'm more worried about. He can drop 30 on you no problem.

VERY hard to crawl back out of one our legendary early deficits when there's a guy on the other side doing that.

but we shall see, fingers crossed.

I didn't vote because I know I don't have a clue. If we get the second half against LSU team for over half the game we can win but if we get the first half team for half the game it's a blowout.

Our guards have 4” on Gillespie. I know this doesn’t always mean a lot, however it could make his looks harder since we seem to be doing much better going over screens and closing out since Alabama.

Tennessee can’t shoot FTs except Gillispie(86%). Foul the hell out of everybody else and use many players. They turn it over a lot too. A lot of things seem to favor us if we just concentrate on rebounding.

I have a good feeling about this one...but I was also convinced we were back after the 2nd half of the St. John game so I wouldn't trust my instincts with this team.
