Tennessee vs Alabama game thread

[drew_ukfan_rivals]

Think a lot of people here are tuning into this one so figured I’d start a thread

 

[podgejeff_]

Wait who do we want to win again?

My default thinking is Alabama because, you know, it's against Tennessee.

 

[UKWildcats1987]

I'm rooting for Alabama. F UT.

 

[chattanoogawildcat]

Lol @ a TN AL game thread.

 

[NoahColeLiam2024!]

We own tie breakers with Alabama if we need them for the 4 seed. We don’t Tennessee.

Alabama isn't losing its last 3 games.

If we both finish 13 and 5 that means we beat UT so I guess that means UK could be the 1 or 2 seed if everyone finishes 13 and 5. Highly unlikely.

Oh I'm watching and may post.

I know I ain't been here long, but this was my same thought.

 

[drew_ukfan_rivals]

I’m just tuning in to see who Nate Oates pushes this game

 

[podgejeff_]

You guys remember when Jodie Meeks scored 54 points in one game against Tennessee?

Good times.

 

[TortElvisII]

A white out for EweTee. Some wearing red though.

Tell ya what. The SEC has become competitive as hell and the majority of the games are absolutely nuts.

Bet SEC has a better showing than the B12 in the dance

I’m more considering the 4th seed. If we finish tied with Auburn but we own the tie breaker with Auburn with our head to head win.

I think the tide will turn in our favor for a while now as well. Crazy that OU and Texas will also be on the slate going forward.

Just means more

On the serious, UT is worthy of their ranking, regardless of my hate for them.

They’ll be a tough out. I hope someone can do it

Yep, why I'm probably fine with UT winning. Note: not actively rooting for them. It's UT after all.

How are we gonna do this UT thing once Texas joins next year?

I'm all for embarrassing one or the other and calling them TU.

Well neither has ever won anything significant in basketball so can we just call them both losers??

Yeah, Barnes has his best UT team. It's the best UT team I've seen in quite some time.

Rick Barnes in March. It takes care of itself.

Looks like you will win prediction thread. I would catch you, but you are going to Bill Self me. I am only 41 points behind and looks like I will not lose, just run out of time.

OU ain't no slouch. Best league just got a whole lot tougher.

It’s funny cause I’m just playing for draft night, shaking @DraftCat ’s hand. Winning prediction thread isn’t my priority just a happy accident

 

[HenryMuto]

I have no clue who to root for in how it would help Kentucky to be honest.

 

[podgejeff_]

Did we break Bama?

 

[FanofUK]

I swear TN holds and hacks EVERY defensive play and never gets called for it.

 

[MidseasonTweak]

UT moving the ball finding wide open shots, Bama taking contested shots. A recipe for disaster

 

[UK67KU59]

Feels wrong rooting for UT but here I am doing just that. Need Bama to take this loss and hopefully lose at Florida. Need UT to lose at USC and lose to us.

 

[sammysdad05]

Tennessee getting an incredible whistle tonight lol

 

[true-blue1]

Tennessee is tough.

 

[TortElvisII]

Look at this ref crew.

That's who we will get next Saturday.

Dailey, Adams

 

[CrimsonCats_rivals]

I’m admittedly biased, but the officiating has been awful so far. Tennessee doing their usual thing where they grab and hand check nonstop….. errr play “tough, physical defense” with very few calls. Bama getting called for one touch foul after another.

Somwhat agree here but they have a REALLY good defense. Gotta get physical with them.

 

[NoahColeLiam2024!]

Unless I just see a terrible matchup for TN I will probably have them in my final four in a bracket. Knecht just makes them different. He can pull them out of a funk and they have never had that before.

Unless, of course, they play Duke, UNC or KU, then the whole team will foul out.

If Barnes can’t get deep I this tourney he needs to hang it up.

Y'all should try playing defense. I mean your a blueblood, you always get the whistle.
